Peter DeSantis Rips the Turn

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Peter DeSantis
Peter DeSantis

Peter DeSantis continued to chip up today after cracking pocket kings.

He explained how he got his money in with ace-queen on a queen-high flop and was disappointed to see his opponent held pocket kings.

The turn bailed him out though, and he managed to find an ace from space to get the double up.

Justin Fetes Eliminated by Blake Napierala

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Blake Napierala

Justin Fetes came in to the day with a short stack and flopped a pretty big hand on a board reading {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. He managed to get his stack in the middle with {4-}{2-} after flopping two pair from the big blind. Blake Napierala had a healthy stack and decided to call with {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, top pair with a ten kicker.

The board ran out quite pure for him as the {5-Spades} came on the turn and the {5-Diamonds} hit the river to counterfeit Fetes and send him to the rail.

Napierala has a pile of chips now, good for a top stack so far.

On a board reading {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, John McCauley led out for 9,000 and Jon Walker three-bet to 20,000. Vincent Palma moved all in for 87,100 and McCauley quickly folded. Walker thought about it for a moment and decided to call.

Palma: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Walker: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Walker tabled top two pair, while Palma revealed top pair with the nut flush draw.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Walker a flush draw now.

The river was the {9-Spades}, making bigger two pair for Palma.

Walker started the day with a healthy stack but now finds himself with just two big blinds.
