Lowery Sends Out Cartwright

Liam Gannon

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Lowery raised to 4,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Kyle Cartwright who moved all in from the button for 16,500. Action folded back to Lowery engaged in banter between himself and Cartwright.

"You just can't beat me," Cartwright said to Lowery, to which he responded by putting in the call.

Kyle Cartwright: 8♦8♠
Daniel Lowery: 9♣8♣

The board ran out 10x9x2x7x5x and Lowery made second pair to make the superior hand while Cartwright exited the tournament.

At another table, Ashley "PokerFaceAsh" Frank was eliminated from the tournament.

Moneymaker Gets Value Every Street

Liam Gannon

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Moneymaker raised to 2,300 from late position and the big blind called.

The flop rolled out 10♠9♥3♠ and the big blind checked over to Moneymaker who bet 2,500 which the big blind called.

On the 5♥ turn, the big blind checked over to Moneymaker again who bet 5,300 which the big blind called once more.

For a third time the big blind checked the 3♣ river where Moneymaker bet 8,000 and the big blind called.

Moneymaker showed J♦10♣ for tens up which was good as the big blind flashed Q♣9♣ for nines up as she mucked her hand.

Jones More Than Doubles Through Stanford

Liam Gannon

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Cody Stanford raised to 2,500 in middle position which saw two players call including Lance Jones in the big blind.

The flop came out 9♣7♠10♠ and Jones checked to Stanford who bet 3,000 which the cutoff called. Jones raised to 10,000 which saw Stanford move all in for 36,400 effective which saw both the hijack and Jones call.

Hijack: A♠4♠
Lance Jones: 9♦9♥
Cody Stanford: J♠J♦

The board ran out 2♣3♥ and Jones' set of nines held up to scoop a massive pot.
