Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles was all in on the money bubble with just 600 chips. As we speak, he is now sitting with an impressive 68,000, less than an hour later!
In his latest confrontation, he took on Chris Hughes. Witteles raised the action to 4,000, and Hughes re-popped it from the small blind. Witteles called. The flop brought . Hughes bet, Witteles raised, Hughes three bet, and Witteles capped the action. Chris Hughes called the fourth bet, putting himself all in. Good news for him as he tabled and watched Witteles roll over .
The turn was a useless . The river, however, spelled the end for Hughes. The came, making Witteles trip jacks and cracking the overpair. Hughes will head to the rail while Witteles chips up, now closing in on the top of the leader board after being dangerously low a short time ago.
The board read when Alex Jalali checked to Nam Le. Le decided to move all in for 39,700. Jalali asked for a count and then realized he had Le barely covered.
After some thought, Jalali made the call and showed . Le was running a bluff and held . Le was picked off and sent home.
Frank Gary moved all in for about 10,000, and Greg Debora looked him up from the small blind, putting in the call. The hands were turned over:
Debora:
Gary:
The two were off to the races, and Frank Gary came out on top in the most unconventional manner. The board astoundingly ran out . The quad sixes on the board counterfeited Debora's overpair, and let Gary's play as the winning kicker.
Frank Gary raked in a survival pot worth 22,000 chips, and after the hand, even he was amazed. "I thought this only happened online," he said with a half-chuckle. Debora isn't in much of a laughing mood now, though, as he lost a sizable chunk of his chips on that race.
David Levi and Jonathan Tamayo were involved in some heavy raising back and forth when the flop came . The turn then came the and Levi put his last 4,000 in after Tamayo bet.
Tamayo turned up to have Levi's drawing dead. The river was a meaningless card and Levi was sent home.
