Joseph Re-Enters

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

"You gotta write that Tom Sartori hand," Jeff Joseph told us as he made his way to the cage to re-enter. After Joseph posted another $300 buy-in he relayed his bustout to us: Sartori shoved all in with eights on a five-high flop and Joseph called with kings, but an eight peeled off on the river to give Sartori a winning set.

Fortunately for Joseph, he drew the same table when he re-entered. "At least I have a chance to get him back."

100 And Counting

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

This event drew 112 entries last year and it appears safe to say that number will be annihilated today. The board reads 104 entries already and there's still 50 minutes to register and more than three hours to re-enter.

Sande Coolered

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

With a raise in front, Mathew Sande three-bet to 1,500 from middle position. The player on the button four-bet to 4,500 and only Sande called to see a flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Sande checked to his oponent, who bet 3,000, and Sande check-raised to 11,000. The other player paused for about 30 seconds before moving all in for 28,125. Sande snap-called.

Button: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Sande: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river brought no help to Sande and he was left with 13,000.
