Grise Grows Chip Stack

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in Seat 1 had moved all in preflop for 32,500. Brandon Wetzel flat called. Ben Grise asked Wetzel how much he had behind before also making the flat call to create a huge pot.

Wetzel and Grise would check it down as the board ran out {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The player in Seat 1 showed the {j-}{j-} and Wetzel showed the {a-}{q-}. But Grise had them both beat with the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades} as the flush came home on the river.

With his tournament over, Seat 1 walked away and Grise stacked his winnings into one of the largest stacks in the room.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The turn was the {7-Clubs}. Both players checked coyly to head the to river which came the {k-Spades} and the action again went check-check.

Wetzel turned over the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} as Davidson mucked to give Wetzel a sizable pot.

Dwyer Extends his Chip Lead

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Dwyer raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and it folded around to the big blind who called. The flop came {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, and the big blind checked. Dwyer made a continuation bet of 2,700 and got called again from the big blind.

The turn came the {7-Diamonds}, the big blind checked and Dwyer made it another 4,100. The big blind called.

The river was the {k-Diamonds}, and this time Dwyer made it 7,800 putting his opponent in bad position if he made the call because he was low on chips. After a brief tank the big blind called and Dwyer showed him the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and the big blind mucked.

Kings for Dehm

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Shortly after the dinner break Scott Dehm moved all in preflop and was met with one caller who had a shorter stack.

Dehm showed {k-}{k-} and his opponent showed {a-}{j-}. The flop put a stranglehold on the hand for Dehm as it came {j-}{k-}{8-}.

The {a-} on the turn provided his opponent with a glimmer of hope but that was quickly put out when a {3-} hit the river confirming his bust out and giving Dehm a nice after dinner boost.
