Cramer Forces Sebasta To Fold

Jesse Fullen

Level 21 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Edward Sebesta raised to 60,000 and only had to face Alan Cramer in the big blind. Cramer tanked for a bit before putting in the additional 35,000 to call.

Flop:

Cramer checked his option to Sebesta who quickly continued for 60,000. Immediately, Cramer announced "All-in!" and tossed a single chip forward. Sebesta grabbed his head in shock and sat back to think.

Sebesta flashed his cards a few times while considering before asking for a count of Cramer's stack. Cramer was frozen in time while Sebasta visually looked like he wanted to call with a drawing hand perhaps.

Finally, Sebasta slowly pushed his cards forward while shaking his head.

Player	Chips	Progress
Edward Sebesta	950,000	-270,000
Alan Cramer	480,000	150,000

Shaw Pushes Soleymani Out Of The Pot

Jesse Fullen

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Christopher James Shaw opened to 45,000 from the UTG+1 position. Action folded around to Soleymani in the big blind, who made the call and action was heads up.

Flop:

Soleymani quickly checked and Shaw considered the continuation bet briefly before checking as well.

Turn:

This time, it seemed as if Soleymani was considering the idea of leading out but after a few quick moments, he checked again. Shaw tanked for a moment and counted out two blue and two orange chips totaling a bet of 60,000. Just as Shaw pushed his chips forward, Soleymani snap folded, quickly sending his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Christopher James Shaw	540,000	-159,000
Amir Soleymani	330,000	62,000

Lahti Loses His Stack To Nguyen

Jesse Fullen

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

From across the room, a loud horrible reaction was heard. Players were up out of their seats to look at the board and see what had happened. When I approached, William Lahti, chip leader at the start of Day 2, was out of his seat staring at the table. "Hey William. What happened?" I was unaware that Lahti had been in the hand.

"I lost! Kings vs Aces! It's unbelievable!"

The Board was all low cards.

Long Nguyen:
William Lahti:

Nguyen had Lahti covered and Lahti finished the day in 37th place for a $1,650 payday.

Player	Chips	Progress
Long Nguyen	2,700,000	2,000,000
William Lahti	Busted
