Hollenberg Drops two in Back-to-Back Hands

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dave Hollenberg
Dave Hollenberg

A player moved all in for around 74,000 and Dave Hollenberg called, putting his opponent at risk as they tabled their hands.

Opponent: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Dave Hollenberg: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The board came down {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Hollenberg scooped the pot with his aces, eliminating his opponent.

The very next hand saw Hollenberg call a raise before the flop of 9,000. The dealer spread out {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Hollenberg check-raised his opponent all in, they obliged and the two tabled their hands.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Dave Hollenberg: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades} peeled off on the turn, giving Hollenberg's opponent a flush draw but they failed to hit it when the {10-Hearts} river landed on the felt. Hollenberg took down the pot with his set of fours, sending home another opponent.

Liu Adds to Stack

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
JJ Liu
JJ Liu

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and there was about 26,000 in the pot. Action checked to JJ Liu, she bet 9,000 and her opponent check-called to see the {3-Spades} turn card.

Both players checked through to the {a-Hearts} where Liu fired in 15,000 after her opponent tapped the table again and her opponent instantly check-folded, sending the pot to Liu.

Milstein Takes Out Two Before Break

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Alan Milstein
Alan Milstein

Lots of action just before the break!

On Table 3, three players were all-in. Alan Milstein had {a-}{k-}, Seat 6 had {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, and Charlie Townsend had {10-}{10-}.

The board came {a-}{j-}{5-}{k-}{k-} giving Milstein the scoop with kings-full and felting both opponents. He's up to 165,000.

David Schulman and Bill Sibree also busted out shortly before the break.

Barry Leventhal will not be notching another win here today. He busted out earlier in the level.

Remaining Seniors are now taking 15.
