Boone Fires Twice

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After five players saw the {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop for 1,100, Jim Boone bet 2,700 from middle position. He found callers in Todd Breyfogle (cutoff) and Jason Sell (small blind). A {k-Spades} hit the turn, and Boone bet 3,600 after Sell checked. Breyfogle folded, but Sell came along. Both quickly checked on the {3-Clubs} river, and Boone's {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} was good against what Sell announced was a missed combo draw.

Selseth Induces the Shove

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Marinela Selseth raised to 3,200 on the button after the cutoff bet 1,600 on fourth street. The board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and the cutoff thought for about a minute before silently stacking all of his chips and pushing them forward. Selseth called the 8,950, and her {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} was miles ahead of the cutoff's {j-}{10-}. A harmless {6-Clubs} fell on the river, and Selseth collected the cutoff's stack.

Jason Sell won MSPT Ho-Chunk for $97,539.

Jason Sell bet 3,000 after fourth street on a board of {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and his small blind opponent called. When a {9-Spades} hit the river and the small blind checked, Sell announced a bet of 2,500 that was quickly called. The small blind confidently tossed {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} into the middle, but Sell had {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} for aces up. The MSPT Ho-Chunk champion is back above the starting stack.

Steele Survives on Turn

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We found Patrick Steele with a three-bet to about 2,000 in front of him on the button after a middle position open to 750. The original raiser shipped it, and Steele called off for 9,175.

Steele: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Middle position: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

"That's a good flop," Steele's opponent remarked after {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} hit the board. The {q-Clubs} turn was considerably less good, as i gave Steele the lead with queens. A {5-Hearts} river was a brick, and Steele doubled up.

Tollefson Doubles

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a flop of {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Taylor Tollefson check-shoved his short stack over a 1,300 bet from Jim Lawrence. Lawrence thought briefly before verbalizing a call.

Tollefson: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Lawrence: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Lawrence found himself drawing thin, and he got nowhere on the {6-Diamonds} or {q-Diamonds}.

Tollefson's seeking his second final table of this Mid-States Poker Tour this season after a fourth-place finish at MSPT Ho-Chunk.

Harris' Good Run Continues

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Lance Harris rivered the nuts.
Lance Harris rivered the nuts.

Lance Harris, who has been unable to put together any deep runs in this Mid-States Poker Tour season, may be finding his groove here at Canterbury after a blazing start. He just stacked an opponent after betting 3,700 on the river with the community having come {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The button raised to 9,700, and Harris put him all in for a few thousand more. The player seemed resigned as he called it off.

Harris flipped {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the nuts, and his opponent flashed {10-Hearts}{x-Hearts} for a lower flush as he rose from his seat.
