Sumanth Reddy Suffocating Table
![[user197301]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
After a raise to 4,700 from one opponent and a call by another, Sumanth Reddy came along as well and we were off to the flop. The dealer spread the 
across the table and the original raiser checked. The second opponent fired a bet of 7,500 into the pot and Reddy made the call. The original raiser folded his hand and the 
fell on the turn.
Reddy's opponent slid two stacks into the middle for a bet of 19,000 chips and Reddy instantly announced "All-in." This move prompted his opponent to shake his head in bewilderment and he began asking Reddy what he held. With no answer forthcoming, the opponent glumly mucked his cards and Reddy climbed to approximately 135,000 after the win.
Timothy "T.K." Miles Torches Another One
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
With the flop reading 
, a player in the cutoff position bet 12,000 and Timothy "T.K." Miles pushed a mountain of chips forward, indicating he was raising the pot. The cutoff insta-called for his tournament life and tabled 
for top pair and a flush draw. Miles revealed the 
for bottom two pair, fives and sixes, as well as a blocker with his own top pair and better kicker.
The cutoff would need to spike a jack or a club to take the lead, but the 
on the turn was a complete brick. The river missed him as well, coming to complete Miles' full house. He now sits with 180,000 chips and is becoming a force as Day 2 rolls onward.
Juha Vilkki Veering Toward Chip Lead
After everyone had folded around to Juha Villki on the button, he opted to raise and made it 6,000 for the blinds to see the flop. The small blind folded, but the Big Blind decided to reraise and was all in. Vilkki took his time decding if he wanted to call the extra 16,000. Vilkki made it clear his hand wasn't very strong and he had gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Vilkki convinced himself it wasn't much more and he made the call.
Cards were turned over and Vilkki was behind with his 
. His opponent held 
and had a slight lead going to the flop.
The three cards that came out were the 
giving Vilkki two pair right off the bat. A turn 
was no help to the Big Blind as his pair of queens trailed. A river 
put the last nail in the Big Blind's coffin and he was eliminated.

: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

and Sarwer slid out a bet of 32,000. His opponent mulled things over for a minute, but then tossed his hand into the muck.

. His opponent called and both players were awarded a 
turn where the two of them checked.
On the 
river the Big Blind checked and the action was to Sarwer who took his time before announcing he would bet pot which was around 36,000. His opponent pump faked the fold a few times, not wanting to give it away, but in the end his cards made their way into the muck.

Dmitry Motorov Motoring To the Finish Line
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
We witnessed a three-way hand in which Joseph Felder and an unknown opponent were all-in before the flop against Dmitry Motorov. The unknown opponent proudly revealed his 
for pocket aces, and while that is the best starting hand in Hold'em, it is not nearly as strong in the draw-heavy game Omaha.
Felder flipped up the 
for a suited connector and a slew of low cards, while Motorov showed down his 
for a similar hand that held plenty of preflop potential.
Flop:
The unknown opponent had survied the flop with his pocket rockets and began hollering "Keep 'em high dealer, keep 'em high!" While the aces were still in the lead, Motorov had flopped a pair of sixes and a variety of draws. The Russian now needed to catch any deuce or seven to complete his straight, or any four, five, six, or ten to crack his opponent's aces.
The dealer delivered a dagger on the turn in the form of a and Motorov had made his straight. Felder had a slim chance now, needing a four to arrive on the river to chop the pot with Motorov. The man holding bullets was drawing dead at this point and turned to depart the Amazon Room.
River: 
Motorov pumped his fist in triumph after notching the double knockout and he now holds a stack of nearly 160,000 chips.
Binger the Bully
It was a battle of the blinds as T.K. Miles called the small blind and Michael Binger checked in the big blind. The flop came 
and it was Miles who bet out 3,500. Binger took his time before eventually calling. On the turn Miles slowed down and checked.
The action was on Binger and after about a minute or so he put out a bet of 11,800 to which Miles folded.
