Podnieks' Gutsy Call Pays Off

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} on the board, Eric Podnieks faced a raise from an opponent on the cutoff. A call would put Podnieks, who was under the gun, all in.

After a couple of minutes in the tank, Podnieks made the call.

Eric Podineks: {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The {a-Clubs} came in on the turn, which in this case was something the cutoff didn't want to see. A harmless {5-Spades} came in on the river, and Podnieks doubled through.

The $550 Main Event at Jamul Casino may be the capstone tournament of the Ante Up Poker Tour stop, but it isn’t the only event that’s taken place. There has been a slew of side tournaments, and we thought we’d take a quick look at each.

For instance, in the Ante Up Sweetwater Series Event #4: $100 Omaha 8 or Better, 57 entrants created a $4,560 prize pool (nearly double the $2,500 GTD) that was paid out to the top eight players.

A four-way deal was struck that ultimately saw Eric Bradford claim the title and $1,029 in prize money. Here’s a look at all those who cashed.
