Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
While the Ante Up World Championship $1,650 Main Event is the premier tournament on the schedule, it’s far from the only one. In fact, the tour has been at Thunder Valley since early July hosting a slew of side events.
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team wasn’t on hand to capture the action from those events, but we still wanted to offer fans a brief look at all those who’ve captured titles during the Ante Up World Championship.
For example, Event #18: $160 Limit Omaha/8 had 101 entries to create a $13,130 prize pool. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Ronald Spence (14th - $300), Russ Honhart (13th - $328), Clyde Turner (12th - $361), and Anthony Hutchins (11th - $361).
In the end, Bob Badour bested Clyde Hinkle in heads-up play to win the title and $4,004 top prize.

Mrityunjay Jha: 
Amir Lehavot: 
Jha, who was covered, had a pair of eights and an open-ended straight draw, but saw the bad news when Lehavot tabled his cards and already had the nut straight. No help came for Jha on the 
river, and his tournament run ended.

Terry Wheeler reraised all in preflop from the small blind, for 85,000 total. The action folded back around to Josh Prager on the button, who thought it over for a bit before making the call. Prager had Wheeler well covered when the cards tunred over.

Josh Prager: 
Board: 
Another player at the table, who had folded to Wheeler's reraise, groaned when the flop hit. Wheeler's pair of nines held through the river, and the tournament is still two eliminations away from the money.
