Mike Gaernter Up To 300,000

[user92162]

Preflop, Chris Lee opened to 9,000 chips with Mike Gaertner raising to 20,000. Lee made the call and they saw a {8-Hearts}

flop.

Lee checked and Gaertner fired out 20,000. Lee made the call and the turn fell the {q-Spades}

. On the turn Gaertner bet 36,000 over Lee's check. Lee then went into the tank for so long that the clock was called on him. Eventually he called.

The river was the {5-Spades}

and Gaertner moved all in, Lee again thought for a long time before making the call for all his chips.

Gaertner rolled over {Q-Hearts}

and Lee's face changed. "That's what I was afraid of, the only hand that you could have that beat's me," he added, as he rolled over {k-Hearts}

.

Lee hits the rail and Gaertner hits 300,000 in chips.

Willcocks AGAIN!

[user75032]

Phillip Willcocks must have rubbed his lucky rabbit's foot this morning. He was dealt pocket kings, {K-Diamonds}

, and wound up flopping a full house, {A-Spades}

, against an opponent's {A-Hearts}

. Predictably, all the chips got in the middle in the hurry, with the board blanking out {2-Hearts}

to give another pot to Willcocks.

We're down to 48 players now, and Willcocks is up to a tournament-leading 370,000.

Touch 'em All

[user75032]

Anna Cu Unjieng -- the last remaining female in the field -- got her last 35,000 into the middle with {A-Spades}

and was called by a player with {Q-Diamonds}

. She needed to catch up and did so in a big way, hitting just about every out she possibly could on a board of {A-Clubs}

. The entire table had a good laugh, Unjieng's stack was doubled, and played continued on.
