Early Position:  [qh][qc]

The flop came [ac][7h][2d] giving Meacham the lead with his set of sevens.  The [2c] on the turn gave Miller a flush draw, but Meacham a full house.

The [3h] on the river did not improve the big blind's hand, and Meacham would triple up to just over 150,000 at Level 20 (4,000/8,000 blinds with a 1,000 ante.)

James Kapsidis

A player under the gun limped in.  The player in the hijack raised to 400.  The cutoff, both blinds, as well as the player under the gun called so there were five to see the flop.

All players checked the [ah][jc][6s] flop.

When the [9s] came on the turn, James Kapsidis bet 1,400 from the small blind.  The big blind called as did the player under the gun.  The hijack and cutoff both folded.

All players checked the [3c] river.

"Two pair," Kapsidis announced as he turned over [jh][9d][10c][8c].

The player in the big blind showed [ks][10h][9h][8s], and the player under the gun mucked his hand without showing.

Kapsidis' two pair would take it down and chip him up to just under 10,000 in chips.

Under the gun:  [8s][8c]

Dugas: [ad][jc]

Opponent:  [ah][kd]

The flop came [10h][js][jd] giving Dugas trip jacks.  But the [qd] on the turn gave his opponent Broadway.  Fortunately for Dugas, the river was the [ac] to give him the full house.  Dugas eliminated both players and collected $100 in bounties.
