Berlin's Bold Prediction

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

As we passed his table Nachman Berlin called out to this reporter, "Hey yo. Remember my name, I'm going to win this."

With his stack at the moment he has some work to do yet, but he certainly is a confident fella that… Ummm.

No, it's gone.

Kuhn Busts Another, As Does Fricke

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jimmy Fricke
Jimmy Fricke

Robert Kuhn didn't waste any time sending another player to the rail. We didn't witness the hand, but Kuhn told us his {a-}{q-} busted another pair of jacks, as he again got it all in preflop for approximately 95,000 and won the race for a second time in just a few minutes.

Another hand was brewing at the table as Jimmy Fricke opened to 5,600 from early position and a player in middle position raised to 13,500. Fricke made the call and checked after a flop of {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}. His opponent also checked and the turn was the {5-Hearts}. Fricke led out for 12,000 and his opponent made the call.

The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Fricke moved all in. His opponent called, tabling {q-}{q-}. They were not even close to good, though as Fricke turned over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for quads and an elimination.

Rinat Shakirov was all in over an opening raise and Jimmy Fricke made the call in the small blind. The original raiser folded.

Bauer Busts a Player

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player from early position moved all in for 22,000 and received two callers from middle position, including Brian Bauer. It was three players to the flop with one all in. The flop came down {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Bauer's opponent checked and Bauer fired 13,500. The opponent folded and Bauer was heads up against the at risk player.

Bauer turned over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for middle set and his opponent needed two runners to improve on his {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} though and Bauer eliminated a player and raked in a nice pot.

Melius Stays Put

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Facing an early position raise David “Barth” Melius moved all in from the cut-off. The blinds foded and the original raiser called and showed {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Melius stood up as he turned over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. His big ace looked like it was going to come up short and he was resigned to going home.

The cards fell {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The river gave Melius a jack high straight and he was forced to sit down again and stack his chips.
