First Blood to Harb

[user46392]

First hand back, Jim Geary raised from the button and got looked up by Anthony Harb in the small blind.

Flop: {3-Diamonds}

Harb checked to Geary who bet 200,000; a swift call later and they were at the turn.

Both players checked the {J-Spades}

turn and, indeed, the {9-Hearts}

river, and Geary turned over {A-Hearts}

. Harb, however, took the pot with {5-Clubs}

.

Geary Getting Tense

[user46392]

Next hand, Adam Adler took a pot off of Geary, taking it down with {A-?}

on a ten-high board.

A couple hands later, though, Geary moved all in to a raise from Anthony Harb -- Harb passed, and Geary got some of his chips back. He shoved from the button the hand after that as well, and picked up some more blinds and antes.

What is Happening, in a General Sense?

[user46392]

We've been seeing a lot of flops since dinner, but mostly haven't been getting beyond that, the pot going to whoever bets first once those three cards are out on the board. Geary and Harb have been the most active players by a long way -- Peter Rho hasn't played a hand since they got back.

Geary Doubles Through Adler

[user46392]

Down to 545,000, Geary shoved from the small blind to a button raise from Adam Adler. A moment's thought, a call, and a showdown for Geary's tournament life.

Geary: {K-Spades}

Adler:

Board:

Thus Geary is back up to over a million. It's become a real rollercoaster for him...

Rho's Awake!

[user46392]

Peter Rho's perked up. After taking down a pot a few minutes ago, reraising Jim Geary and making him fold preflop, he saw a {J-Clubs}

flop with Anthony Harb. They both checked it, and Harb checked the {3-Spades}

turn too, then called 160,000 from Rho. Harb checked the {9-Hearts}

river too, and then passed when Rho bet 200,000.

Adler Takes a Hit

[user46392]

Anthony Harb has taken down a 1.6 million pot -- Adler called his 400,000 bet on the river of the {8-Clubs}

board, and then mucked when Harb turned over {Q-Spades}

. Adler down to perhaps 1,800,000.

Harb Work

[user46392]

Harb and Rho got to the turn of a {4-Hearts}

board, and Harb bet out 200,000. Rho made it 500,000, though, and Harb passed.

Adam Adler Eliminated in 4th Place ($161,768)

[user46392]

Anthony Harb raised, and this time Adam Adler reraised. Back to Harb, and he announced all in to cover Adler. Adler called all in for a little over 2,000,000, and found that he was dominated.

Adler: {K-Diamonds}
