Allgeier Showers a Shorty

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tracy Allgeier
Tracy Allgeier

Tracy Allgeier opened to 6,000 on the button and received a call from the small blind. The big blind re-jammed for 20,000 and Allgeier confirmed the amount before putting in chips to call. The small blind then folded, letting the two have at it.

All-In Player: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Tracy Allgeier: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Barry Greenstein paid Allgeier an unnecessary visit on the runout {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to give him two pair, aces and treys and earn him the pot and the knockout.

Driggers KO's Konarske

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stephen Driggers

All of the chips got into the middle on a flop reading {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} between Eddy Konarske in the small blind and Stephen Driggers, who was on the button.

Eddy Konarske: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Stephen Driggers: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Konarske needed to hit running Broadway outs or running diamonds to stay alive, both of which became an impossibility on the turn {5-Hearts}. The river {4-Clubs} made the hand official and the pot was shipped to Driggers as Konarske was eliminated from the tournament.

Collard Fires Twice

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dwane Collard opened to 4,500 in the cutoff and aboth Mike Kester and Tracy Allgeier called on the button and in the big blind, respectively. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Allgeier checked to Collard, who continuation-bet 6,000. Kester called and Allgeier folded.

Action was then heads up to the turn {10-Diamonds}, where Collard threw another 15,000 forward. Kester thought for a few moments and decided to fold to the second barrel.

Welch Done and Dusted

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jason Welch
Jason Welch

An all-in preflop scenario just transpired between Ryan Dodson and Jason Welch that left Welch dry on chips. According to Dodson, he opened to 3,000 in early position and action folded around to Welch in the big blind, who re-jammed for less than a starting stack. Dodson called.

Jason Welch: {j-}{j-}
Ryan Dodson: {k-}{k-}

The runout wound up changing nothing and Welch's chips were sent across the table to Dodson, resulting in his elimination from the tournament. Though Welch's Main Event run has come to an end, he currently sits second on the overall CPC points leader board, and will likely be a near-lock for one of the five seats being awarded to next Wednesday's $3,000 High Roller, which will also be covered by PokerNews.

Konarske Building Back

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Eddy Konarske
Eddy Konarske

Eddy Konarske opened to 4,000 in early position and received a call from the cutoff. The small blind re-jammed for 35,000 and Konarske came over the top as well, forcing the cutoff out of the hand.

"You're probably good," said the small blind as he tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Konarske had a dominating {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} but saw the percentages roughly leveled as the flop came {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Despite seeing a three outer come, Konarske had too many outs to miss as running {3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} re-improved him to top pair, top kicker and scored him the knockout.

Konarske confirmed that he had been up to around 180,000 earlier in the day and is now back in six-figure territory.
