McEwen Four Bet Shoves

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

John Moe opened for 85,000 and Michael Hahn raised it to 265,000 from the small blind. Jesse McEwen announced he was all in from the big blind for a total of 780,000. Moe jumped out of his chair.

"Stole my move," he muttered while looking at McEwen and then added "think I'm ahead both of you guys."

Moe glared at McEwen for several seconds before letting his hand go. Now the action was on Hahn who exhaled before taking a puff on his e-cig. He exhaled the vapors through his nostrils. In the meantime, McEwen opened a packet of crackers and rubbed them together next to his ears... mimicking the famous scene from John Malkovich as Teddy KGB in Rounders. He cracked a smile and shoved the cracker into his mouth.

Hahn counted out a call, puffed on his e-cig again, and let out another exhale. The room was quiet. Church quiet. Hahn held his cards up. Nearly five minutes had elapsed and McEwen's patience had run out as he called the clock.

"Called the clock?" asked Hahn. The floor confirmed it had been.

"Who?" he asked and McEwen raised his hand and blurted "you got like 30 seconds" to Hahn.

Hahn let the clock expire and McEwen took down the sizable pot.

Jeff Armstrong - 4th place
Jeff Armstrong - 4th place

Jesse McEwen had moved all in on consecutive hands and did so again from the button. Perhaps tiring of the shoves, Jeff Armstrong made the call from the big blind with {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. McEwen had woken up with a legitimate hand as he held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The board would run out {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and Armstrong would be eliminated in fourth place for $14,697.

John Moe Eliminated in 3rd Place ($20,700)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
John Moe - 3rd place
John Moe - 3rd place

John Moe moved all in first to act and was called by Michael Hahn. Moe held {K-Spades}{J-Spades} and was behind Hahn's {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}. He would stay behind the whole way as the board came {Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} to eliminate him in third place for $20,700.

It was a remarkable series for Moe who in addition to his finish today had three wins over the past two weeks here. That was more than enough to win him the Leaderboard contest which gives him a seat to the 2015 Championship Event at the M Resort in Las Vegas.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Hahn - 2nd place
Michael Hahn - 2nd place

The final two would see a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Jesse McEuen led out for 70,000. Michael Hahn raised it up to 185,000 and McEwen asked for a count. Before the dealer could even grab a stack of chips, McEuen announced "all in."

Hahn deliberated for a moment and then looked over at the tournament clock.

"It's a lot of money," said McEuen.

"What?" asked Hahn.

"It's a lot of money," McEuen repeated.

Hahn tossed a chip into the middle indicating a call and McEuen stood up and proudly turned over {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for two pair. Hahn had {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair of jacks. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river was the {K-Diamonds} and Hahn was eliminated in second place. He'll collect an impressive pay out of $30,636 for his runner-up finish.
