Ross Gottlieb Wins Big Pot on Last Hand Before Break

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

As told to us by Ross Gottlieb, he won a sizable pot on the last hand before the dinner break to move his stack into six-figure territory. Gottlieb three-bet to 2,200 out of the big blind and found two callers. The flop came {A-}{9-}{3-} and Gottlieb bet 3,500 and found one taker.

The turn was the {K-} and with his opponent having approximately 12,000 left in chips, Gottlieb decided to move all in. His opponent made the call with {A-}{J-} and found out that he would need help as Gottlieb had him outkicked with his {A-}{Q-}. The river blanked out and Gottlieb took down the pot and will go to dinner knowing he is sitting pretty with his 103,000 in chips.

Just One Bullet for Moneymaker

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante
Chris Moneymaker earlier today
Chris Moneymaker earlier today

Chris Moneymaker was eliminated earlier in the day and said via Twitter that he'd re-enter after a brief break:

Chris MoneymakerRan real poor on first shell of @hwpokeropen and pushed too much in several spots. Walking it off before try again

Apparently one bullet was enough for the Hollywood Poker Open ambassador as he never did fire a 2nd bullet.
