Jamison Doubles Through Cambareri

Level 22
Pamela Jamison
Pamela Jamison

On the last hand of the Stud/8 round, it was heads-up between Pamela Jamison and Joseph Cambareri.

On fifth street:

Jamison: {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Cambareri: {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Cambareri bet (40,000) and Jamison moved in for 54,000 total. He called the extra 14,000 and rolled over his hole cards: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. He was way ahead of her {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in the hole, but on sixth street, she caught the {6-Spades} to improve to a set of sixes while he caught the useless {2-Hearts}.

At the river, neither player had made a qualifying low and her set was good for the scoop.

Menahem Rosenberg Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,222)

Level 23
Menachem Rosenberg
Menachem Rosenberg

Playing Stud/8:

They got to 5th street when the last of Menachem Rosenberg's chips went in against John Reiss.

Rosenberg: ({k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}) {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Reiss: ({a-Spades}{4-Spades}) {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Rosenberg started the hand with rolled-up kings and had no low draw. Reiss started with three to a steel wheel, adding a flush draw on fourth street and a pair of Aces on fifth.

Sixth street brought a useless {j-Hearts} for Rosenberg, but Reiss caught the {a-Hearts} to take the lead with a set of Aces. Neither hand improved beyond that and Reiss scooped the pot.

Menachem Rosenberg, who won two titles here during the 2019 Fall Poker Open last November, (HOSE & PLO/8) was ejected in seventh place ($1,222).

All-Ins and Split Pots

Level 24
Leonardo Palermo

There have been several all-ins during the last level, but they've resulted in split pots, so play continues into the new level with six remaining players.

Playing Omaha/8:

Joseph Cambareri got all-in holding {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} against Leonardo Palermo, who had {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The board read {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} at the river and Cambareri got three-quarters of the pot with his nut-low and back-door flush.

Leonard had to settle for one-fourth of the pot.

Joseph Cambareri & Leonardo Palermo
Joseph Cambareri & Leonardo Palermo

Playing Stud/8:

Start of Day 2 chip leader Joseph Cambareri and Leonardo Palermo both got all their chips in against Paula Jamison on a Stud/8 hand.

As the cards ran out, Cambareri made a set of Kings and no low. Palermo had a pair of Aces and failed to make a qualifying low. Jamison made a six-high straight and wheel for the nut low to scoop it all, scoring the double knockout in the process.

Since Cambareri had fewer chips at the start of the hand, he got sixth place and $1,681. Palermo finished 5th for $1,986.
