More All Ins on Table 3

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Steve LePeau who raised to 5,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button shoved for his last 20,000 and the players in the blinds folded. LePeau called.

Steve LePeau: {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{6-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, leaving the all-in player drawing dead by the turn and he was eliminated as LePeau nears closer to being the first player on Day 1b to crack the 300,000-chip mark.

On the very next hand, Dapo Fadeyi was on the button and called an all-in reraise from Joel Verbeck in the big blind.

Verbeck tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

"Why did I call so fast?" Fadeyi asked himself as he turned over {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Verbeck earned the double. The dealer counted out his chips and totaled them to be 109,100 which Fadeyi paid off, leaving himself with a stack of just over 20 big blinds.

Verbeck Doubles Through Clinkscales

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Dapo Fadeyi in the hijack who raised to 5,000. Joel Verbeck shoved all in from the button for 52,600 and Clinkscales asked for a count before announcing he was all in over the top of Verbeck.

Fadeyi peeled up his cards to look at them in a manner that others could see as well before folding {a-}{q-} face-up.

Joel Verbeck: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Rex Clingscales: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Verbeck was able to hit the three outer on the turn to stay alive and get a stack of over six figures again.

Verbeck Clawing Back

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After being crippled in a massive multi-way all in, Joel Verbeck has made his way back to over 50,000 after taking down a few pots preflop. Chips are flying all over the place on his table so there will be plenty of opportunity for all players to chip up as the night unfolds.

With a board reading {j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Martin Smith had a bet of 6,500 in front of him from middle position. Action was back on him after Joel Verbeck shoved from his left, Lynn Hopkins called all in for less from the hijack, and Steve LePeau also called all in for less from the big blind.

Smith folded and it was time for the remaining three hands to be exposed.

Steve LePeau: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Lynn Hopkins: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Joel Verbeck: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

LePeau had flopped Broadway and was in need of fading outs to a chop or a full house from both of his opponents. The turn and river ran out clean, coming {4-Spades}{10-Hearts} and he scored the huge pot to vault him to what is likely the chip lead with 32 players remaining.
