Gutfreund's Jammin'

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David Gutfreund
David Gutfreund

A player raised to 8,000 from under the gun, and the player next to act called. David Kenniston called in the cutoff, and David "The Maven" Gutfreund shoved for his last 108,000 on the button.

The under-the-gun player tanked for a minute, then folded, and the other two players in the hand followed suit.

"Who wants to see, we can vote on it!" Gary Herstein said, gesturing at Gutfreund's hand.

"I want to see, I haven't looked yet!" Gutfreund joked.

Kenniston's Queens Earn Another KO

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David Kenniston
David Kenniston

A player checked a {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop from the big blind, and David Kenniston bet 8,000 in the hijack. The big blind jammed for 86,000 and Kenniston called.

Opponent: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
David Kenniston: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"Gonna need some help!" the big blind said, needing a king or nine to survive.

No help would come on the {7-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river, and Kenniston earned another big pot and an elimination.

Stammen Shows One

After a raise from Keven Stammen from under the gun, the cutoff three-bet to 17,000. Stammen called.

Both players checked the {2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop, and Stammen bet 17,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn. The cutoff folded.

Stammen took one of his cards and slowly peeled the {k-Spades} over before mucking the other.

"If you had an ace or king with it, you were good," the cutoff said.

Roberts and Kenniston Neck and Neck; Schulz Out

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Shawn Roberts
Shawn Roberts

A look at Table 11 just now saw former HPT Player of the Year Shawn Roberts putting together a stack of around 300,000, an increase of over 100,000 over the last thirty minutes.

His tablemate, however, happens to be current chip leader David Kenniston, who just picked up a small pot from the small blind to chip up to a peak of 360,000. Can Kenniston hang on to the overall chip lead?

At another table, Kevin Schulz made his exit from the tournament area.
