We're talking about the lady we mentioned a few minutes ago in this post, and she's been doing good work since we last checked on her. Very good work, in fact.
Dorothy Vonsachsen broke onto Table 36 with about 12,000 chips, but she's doubled up a few times since. We just saw her all in once again, and this time, she had more than 55,000 chips in front of her. The full board was out on the table, and Ron McMillen had looked her up.
McMillen's hand was already mucked when we approached, but whatever he had, he could not beat Vonsachsen's . The full house earns the lady yet another double, and she's vaulted her stack all the way up to about 130,000.
JC Tran was super short and got his stack all in holding pocket eights. His opponent called holding . The board ran and Tran doubled up to around 13,000. He's got an uphill challenge to make the money.
Pete Sullivan moved all in from the cutoff for less than the starting stack and his opponent on the button moved all in as well. The blinds released and Sullivan had his opponent barely covered.
Sullivan:
Button:
The board ran and Sullivan made a low flush to score the knockout.
JC Tran was back down to 8,100 to begin the hand, and he open-shoved first in from the cutoff seat. In the small blind, Ron McMillen three-bet to 20,000, and that isolated him against Tran with a chance at the knockout. Cards up, gents:
Showdown
Tran:
McMillen:
The flop was a miss for Tran, and the turn left hin drawing stone dead. His pair of jacks could not catch up to Broadway, and the meaningless river is the last card of Tran's day.
With the knockout, McMillen has rebounded his stack back close to the century mark once again.
Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon had been having a pretty unsuccessful Day 2 so far, and he's just been put out of his misery.
The last time we checked on him, his starting stack had been cut in half and then some, and he was down around 45,000 and bleeding. Just a moment ago, he came walking past our table to say his goodbyes, lamenting the fact that he ran into pocket aces three times during this level alone.
The last encounter with rockets has taken the rest of Kroon's Day 2 chips, and he's been granted an early afternoon off to enjoy some football.
We hadn't checked on Robert Castoire in quite a while, so we wandered over to his table to have a look, and we caught in involved in a hand.
The board was showing on the turn, and Castoire had bet 7,500 into a pot of about 10,000. His lone opponent check-called, and the two of them checked down the river.
Mr. Opponent showed up , but Castoire's had flopped a better pair.
Our hero is doing rather well to day, quadrupling his starting stack to about 80,000 at the moment.
The tail end of another pot, this one involving Matt Keikoan.
The board was already out on the table when we walked up, showing . It was a battle of the small blind versus Keikoan's button, and the small blind led out with 12,100 into a pot of more than 40,000. Keikoan quickly called, though he didn't seem to like it. And he was correct to be wary.
Mr. Small Blind showed for trips, and Keikoan reacted with a frustrated flick of his cards. He flashed the , but his kicker problems have cost him the pot.
With that slide, Keikoan has been reduced to about 75,000.
We found Darren Hicks with all his chips in the middle and waiting on his opponent to decide. The board showed and after some short thought his opponent called.
Hicks:
Opponent:
The board finished and Hicks is sitting on a healthy 70,000.
