Level 5
: 300/500, 500 ante
A player opened to 1,500 under the gun and the player on the button just ripped all in for about 32,000. After getting a count of the big chips, Adam Walton shoved in the small blind. The opener sighed and tossed 
into the middle.
Walton: 
Opponent: 
The 
board had things looking choppy, with the opener likely regretting his fold, until a 
river sent the whole pot to Walton.

There was about 20,000 in the middle between a player in the small blind and Lewis Robledo. The board read 
and the small blind moved all in for 29,100.
Lewis Robledo seemed a bit distraught in middle position, saying something about two pair. Finally, he called.
The small blind turned over 
but it was Robledo with two pair: 
, good for the pot.

James Poper was one of the winners, taking the last event before Christmas when he shipped the $250 Big O for $4,472.
After Christmas, several more events went down, including a $400 H.O.R.S.E. won by Gary Bolden for $7,987 and a $600 2-7 Triple Draw that went to Denis Nesterenko for $7,702.
