Blieden Wins on the River

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

The action folded to Dennis Blieden in the hijack, and he raised to 125. The button, and both blinds called as the flop landed {8-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and action checked round.

The turn fell the {9-Spades} and the small blind fired out 300 and the big blind mucked, while Blieden called, and the button folded.

The river landed the {4-Hearts}, and after the small blind checked, Blieden bet 1,000, and his opponent quickly folded.

Stoffmaker Eliminated

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Following a limp in early position, Harley Stoffmaker pots to 225 from middle position. The big blind called, as did the original limper, to see a {Q-}{9-}{5-} flop.

Action checked to Stoffmaker, and he bet 500. The big blind fold, and the limper check-raised to 1,500. Stoffmaker responded by moving all in for 2,825, and his opponent called.

Stoffmaker: {Q-}{J-}{10-}{8-}
Opponent: {A-}{2-}{9-}{9-}

Stoffmaker was trailing his opponent's middle set, but the Canadian had straight draw outs.

The turn of the {7-} changed little, and when the {5-} paired the board on the river, Stoffmaker was one of the first casualties of the tournament.
