Hand #53: From the small blind, Randal Flowers raised to 120,000. Matt Perrins gave up his big blind and Flowers took down his second pot in a row.

Hand #54: Seth Berger opened the pot with a raise to 110,000. In the next seat over Thomas Muehloecker moved all in for a total of about 500,000. Action folded all the way back around to Seth Berger who thought about his decision for a bit before making the call.

Muehloecker: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Berger: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} allowing both players to chop up the pot with the same hand.

Hand #55: Matt Berkey moved all in and recieved a call from Antonio Buonanno from the small blind.

Berkey: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Buonanno: {A-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} giving Berkey a load more outs than he began with. The turn was the {4-Hearts}, giving no improvement to Berkey but the {8-Spades} on the river was one of the cards he needed to improve to the best hand and double with a pair of eights.

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #50 Matt Perrins opened to 80,000, which was enough to take down the blinds and antes.

Hand #51 The action folded around to Seth Berger, who opened to 90,000 from the button, before taking the pot.

Hand #52 Matt Berkey opened from the small blind, before Randal Flowers moved all in from the big blind for an unknown amount. He was called, as both players tabled their cards.

Flowers: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Berkey: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

Flowers was the short stack, and at risk, but he was able to hold as the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to double, and stay alive.

He thought about his decision for a moment, before making the call, as did Arthur Pro from the big blind. The flop came down {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, as both players in the blinds checked their options. Berger then quickly reached for chips, and threw out a continuation bet of 135,000, which was instantly called by Perrins. Pro then stared down both players, before opting to fold.

The {k-Spades} fell on the turn, as both players checked, before the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, as Perrins quickly threw out a continuation bet of 365,000. Pro stared him down, before reaching for his chips, whilst never taking his focus off Perrins. Picking up the call in his hand, he played around with the chips, before finally opting to lay down his hand.

Pro asked if Perrins could show, and he obliged, by rolling over the {8-Clubs}.

Hand #44 Seth Berger opened to 85,000 from the button, which was enough to take down the pot.
