Uhlmann Applies Pressure

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Samuel Uhlmann limped from under the gun and saw Rich Dixon and Ben Keeline follow suit from middle position and the hijack, respectively. Joe Bartholdi was in the cutoff and pumped it up to 8,000. Uhlman folded, Dixon called, and Keeline folded.

With action heads up, the flop came {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Dixon checked. Bartholdi bet 10,000 and it was good to get a fold from Dixon, earning him the pot in the process.

Geller Smashes the Flop

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mike Wheeler opened from under the gun to 3,200 and action folded around to Greg Geller, who three-bet to 10,000 from the cutoff. Wheeler made the call.

Wheeler Finds River Value

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mike Wheeler
Mike Wheeler

There was around 11,000 in the pot as the dealer fanned a flop of {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts} and both Mike Wheeler, who was in middle position, and the player in the hijack checked. The player on the button bet 6,000 and both players called.

The turn fell {j-Spades} and all three players checked. The river came {6-Spades} and Wheeler bet 6,500. The hijack folded and the player on the button thought for a few moments before matching the bet.

Wheeler tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for aces up and his opponent sent his cards to the muck, tapping the felt to give Wheeler recognition for a nice hand.

There was around 28,000 in the pot from preflop action in a four-way pot between Ben Keeline in the big blind, Danny Gonzales in middle position, Adrian Buckley in the cutoff, and Rich Dixon on the button.

Andrew Dea was at 52,000 coming back from dinner break and chipped up to around 120,000 in Level 10. He was since heard saying he had 200,000 and currently appears to be just shy of that figure, albeit one of the largest stacks in the room as play continues into the evening.
