Geyer Busts Jennings

Adam Geyer
Adam Geyer

On the flop of {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, Adam Geyer and Bill Jennings got all the money in the middle. Geyer held top pair, top kicker with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Jennings held the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a naked flush draw.

The turn and river were the {10-Spades} and {6-Spades}, keeping Geyer in front and winning him the hand. He busted Jennings and saw his stack climb even more as he's off to a very nice start to Day 2.

Tehan with the Check-Raise

On Season 1 of the North American Poker Tour, Joe Tehan won the Main Event at the Los Angeles stop. On this flop, he was pitted against Michael Damphousse and Adam Geyer. Even though, Tehan was out of position to both of his opponents, a smooth check-raise to 12,700 after Geyer bet 3,500 was good enough to give Tehan the pot and increase his stack.

Bax Eliminates One

Cliff Josephy
Cliff Josephy

A short-stacked player in middle position went all in for 3,400 and next to act, 2010 NAPT Mohegan Sun Main Event runner-up Mike Beasley called. In the hijack, last year's 7th-place finisher Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy re-raised all in for about 25,000 and action folded back to Beasley. After a few moments he gave it up.

Jospehy held {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} to his opponent's {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and help up through the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board.

Selbst Takes One Out

Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

With about 15,000 in the pot and the board reading {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Vanessa Selbst bet 8,900. Her opponent, Benjamin Hamnett, re-raised all in for an additional 38,200 and sent Selbst in the tank. After about two minutes, she called and showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. She was ahead, but not comfortably as Hamnett tabled {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

The {5-Diamonds} river was safe for Selbst as she continues her quest to go back to back here at NAPT Mohegan Sun.

Robinson Motions and Mercier Mucks

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Matt Glantz raised to 2,400 from early position and David Robinson called from the next seat. Action then folded to Russell Crane on the button and he called. Jason Mercier also called out of the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and action checked over to Robinson. He bet 5,500 and Crane folded. Mercier paused for a moment and then made the call before Glantz dropped out as well.

The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and Mercier checked. Robinson also checked to see the {2-Clubs} come on the river and complete the board. After Mercier checked, Robinson motioned towards his chips and Mercier gave it up. Robinson slid out the 11,500 that he was going to bet, but saw that Mercier had already mucked his hand and quickly pulled it back before collecting the pot.

Mercier dropped back to 32,000 while Robinson increased to 99,000.

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and O'Brien won the pot. He's up to 57,000 in chips now.
