First in from the small blind, Stanley Quinn came in raising to 28,000. He only had to get through Leroy Patitz, but the big blind promptly moved all in for 150,000 total. Quinn took some to consider before making the call with the covering stack. The news was not good for the at-risk Patitz as the cards were turned up:
Quinn:
Patitz:
The flop was a bit of help as it came to give Patitz another four outs to work toward the wheel. The turn was a miss, but the river was just what the double-up doctor ordered. Patitz makes that wheel to move over 300,000, knocking Quinn down below him with about 275,000.
Tom Masinter raised from the button to 30,000. Donna Jetter called from the small blind and then Stanley Quinn reraised from the big blind to 105,000. Masinter and Jetter both folded and Quinn picked up the chips.
Joseph Mongkoluaaree raised to 45,000 from the cutoff seat. Ray Martin moved all in for 260,000 on the nose from the small blind. Action got back to Mongkoluaaree and he thought and thought. He finally folded, claiming to give Martin "a lot of respect."
We love us some shout outs, and we understand Ned Mantua has his family following along with us from their respective homes scattered about the country. But Mitch, Nate, Dominic, and Tania (and respective spouses and grandchildren), hello from your pops! He's doing just fine over there at Table 2, sitting pretty with just about 600,000 chips in front of him.
From the hijack seat, Arthur Molloy raised to 36,000. Michael Traylor called from the big blind and the flop came down . Traylor checked and Molloy followed up his preflop aggression with a continuation bet on the flop worth 40,000. Traylor didn't go anywhere, putting out the chips to make the call.
The turn brought the and Traylor checked. Molloy moved all in for 200,000 or so and Traylor snapped him off, tabling the for a turned set of eights. Molloy held the for an overpair of queens.
The river completed the board with the and Molloy was eliminated from the tournament. Traylor won the massive pot and his stack skyrocketed to 765,000 chips.
First in from the cutoff seat, Joseph Mongkoluaaree raised to 36,000, and Donna Jetter three-bet him to 76,000 from the button. Mongkoluaaree called to see a flop, which means we'll have to type his name at least once or twice more during this post.
Anyways, the flop came out , and Mongkoluaaree led into the pot with an all-in shove. Jetter had about 295,000 left in front of her as she considered her decision, eventually electing to pass and save those chips for a better spot.
Leroy Patitz opened to 30,000, and Dan Black three-bet him to 127,000 total. Patitz made the call, and the two men went heads up with a big pot brewing.
The dealer put out on the flop, and Patitz quickly announced an all in. That sent Black deep into the think tank as he contemplated a decision for his last 170,000 chips. After several long minutes of consideration, he made the call to see what was what.
Showdown
Patitz:
Black:
The turn ensured a split pot, and both men got their money back after the river.
Kevin Fleming was all in preflop holding two fives and up against the pocket nines of Grant Hillman. Fleming couldn't find a five or any sort of straight or flush to give him the win and he was eliminated from the tournament just moments into the new level after the dinner break. He took home $5,321 for his finish.
