Is That All Pete?

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Peter Brooks
Peter Brooks

Peter Brooks and Joshua Turner just got all in for a 200,000 pot.

The action started when Bill Haner opened to 22,000 and Turner reraised to 78,000. Brooks was in the big blind and went all in for 107,500. Haner folded and Turner called showing {a-}{j-}.

"I have three outs, you have kings?" he asked Brooks.

Brooks turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and was ahead. After Brooks smashed the {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop, there was nothing left to do but pass the chips. Turner is still sitting just under 50 big blinds, so while it hurts, he is still going strong. He has also shown an ability to slowly build his chip stack back up several times.

When the flop came out, Paul Fehlig walked over from another table and took a look at the four queens.

"Is that all Pete?" he asked, as the table chuckled and Brooks collected the pot.

Two Rivers, Two Doubles and a Knockout

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Paul Fehlig
Paul Fehlig

Paul Fehlig had been the shortest stack, once Phil Youngclaus busted. In back-to-back hands he doubled up, then basically doubled again when he knocked out Eric Nagel.

On the first hand, Fehlig made a flush on the river with {j-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, coming from behind to double against Anthony Keefe.

On the very next hand, Fehlig, who now had chips to work with, opened to 12,000 and Nagel shoved for about 100,000.

Fehlig called with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and Nagel had {k-}{k-}. The board ran out {6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Spades}, and again the river gave Fehlig the win and eliminated Nagel.

"That's two of the sickest beats I think I have ever put on anyone," said Fehlig as he stacked his chips. He is not sitting at almost 250,000 and more than 40 big blinds, up from ten.

A few hands later, Keefe was done as well. Keefe was eliminated in 23rd place.

Same Hand?

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Michael Kamenjarin opened from early position to 20,000. Joshua Turner called from the small blind.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and both players checked.

Turner led out on the turn when the {j-Spades} hit. He bet 25,000 and Kamenjarin called.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Turner led again, this time for 48,000. Kamenjarin folded.

Turner flipped over {k-}{q-} and asked Kamenjarin if he folded the same hand. Kamenjarin said he didn't and that he was leaning toward a call before he eventually decided to fold.

Tepen Going Strong

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Sitting at almost 500,000, Ryan Tepen is steadily building and is definitely a force to reckon with with 20 players left.

On this hand Tepen called a Cory Bogert bet on the flop and the two were heads up to the turn. The board read {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. They both checked.

They both checked the river when the {6-Clubs} hit and Tepen won the pot with {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens.
