Sandness Five-Bets

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We found Rodney Colson with a bet of 78,000 in front of him in middle position, what looked to be a four-bet against big blind Mark Sandness. Sandness had responded by shoving for 213,000, and Colson shook his head and mucked.

Belland Three-Outed

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Josh Dahlstrom opened for 11,000 on the button and then called the shove of a short-stacked Steve Belland, who had about 60,000.

Dahlstrom: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Belland: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Belland stood and clapped softly when the {3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop gave him top pair, but he didn't like it near as much when a {j-Hearts} hit the turn. A {3-Spades} river didn't save him.

Wilmes Busts Short Stack

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Mike Wilmes
Mike Wilmes

A player was all in with a short stack and got reshoved on by Mike Wilmes, who folded out everyone behind him.

Wilmes: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out in Wilmes' favor: {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and he got a small win after what looks to have been a rough start on Day 2.

Swangstue Doubles Through Tucker

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Gary Swangstue opened for 12,000 under the gun, and Issac "Rungood" Tucker made it 50,000 to go from the next seat. Everyone else folded, though Jason Seitz thought about getting his stack in from the blinds, and Swangstue put his 71,000 total in. Tucker called.

Tucker: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Swangstue: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Swangstue's situation improved considerably on the {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop, which gave him a set, and a fourth ten appeared on the turn to seal it.
