McGown Outruns Harris

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Lance Harris all in for 9,100 in the big blind, having been called by Rick McGown in early position. Larry Ormson, who had 3,500 out already, also made the call. Ormson then folded to a bet from McGown on the {6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop.

McGown: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Harris: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Harris failed to pair as the {7-Clubs} and {3-Hearts} meant he was busted.

McGown may have the top stack in the room, while Harris headed for the reentry desk.

Sell Doubles Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Sell
Jason Sell

Jason Sell saw his bet check-raised all in on a {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, and he made the call for his stack of 25,100.

Sell: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-}{9-}

Sell was miles ahead, and no help arrived for his opponent on the {10-Diamonds} turn or {q-Diamonds} river. The Minnesota native took down Mid-States Poker Tour Ho-Chunk in the spring for just under $100,000 and seeks his second MSPT title this year.

Mader Makes the Crying Call

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Will Stone
Will Stone

On a monotone flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, Phil Mader checked from middle position and saw cutoff Will Stone bet 3,600. Mader raised to 9,000, and the Stone called, seeing a {2-Clubs} turn. Mader switched it up with a tiny bet of 5,000, and Stone again called. A {4-Clubs} fell on the river, and Mader bet 10,000. His opponent shoved, causing Mader to sigh.

"How much do you have, only about 10 more?" Mader asked. It was 12,300 more. "You got kings huh?"

He sighed and tossed in a call, and was shown {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} as he feared. Mader tossed in {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, showing he'd flopped the nuts.

Vang Runs Into Kings

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player opened for 1,700 under the gun, and Kou Vang made it 4,600 to go a couple of seats later. Everyone folded to the opener, who jammed for about 23,000. Vang quickly called.

Vang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Under the gun: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, no help to the sponsored pro.

Meyers Doubles Through Reichard

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Brandon Meyers
Brandon Meyers

Three players saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and action checked to the cutoff, who bet 2,200. Josh Reichard called out of the big blind, and Brandon Meyers slid his whole stack of just over 20,000 forward. The cutoff folded, and Reichard made the call without much delay.

Reichard: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Meyers: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The {2-Hearts} and {10-Hearts} were bricks, and Reichard was left telling Meyers "nice hand" and shipping him the double.
