A player in early-middle position opened with a raise to 750 and action folded a few spots over where another player three-bet to 2,250. Phil Collins was on the button and four-bet to an even 5,000. After the blinds folded, the original preflop raiser moved all in for 24,625. The next player folded and then Collins followed suit. His cold four-bet failed and Collins is back down to 23,500 in chips.
Joey Capp opened to 600 from early position, and he found four calls including Alex Kamberis and Matt Stout.
Five ways, the dealer spread out , and Capp continued out with 2,000. That drew one fold from the next player, but Kamberis stuck in a raise to 5,400, and the action wasn't done yet. When it came to Stout next, he shoved in for about 27,000, folding the fifth player in the hand. Capp reshoved all in, and that got he and Stout heads up to showdown:
Capp:
Stout:
Stout was drawing dead to the , but it never came on the blank turn and river.
From what we understand, Stout convinced Capp to come here and play this event with him a couple days ago. Perhaps he wishes he hadn't as Stout now finds himself railing his buddy from afar.
Capp might be here for a while, too. He's got about 95,000 chips in front of him now.
You know those post we wrote about Chino Rheem bluffing off a lot of his chips? Well, there won't be any more as he just made his exit from the tournament.
Shannon Shorr raised to 750 from the button and the player in the big blind called. After the flop came down , the big blind checked and Shorr bet 950. His opponent folded and allowed Shorr to pick up another pot by attacking from the button. He's been really hammering the two players to his left all day.
As usual, Chino Rheem is full of action today. Most recently he was in middle position and reraised the under-the-gun player's 600 raise to 2,000. Action folded to the small blind and he put in a raise himself, up to 4,700. The UTG player got out of the way, Rheem made the call, and the flop fell .
The small blind didn't take long to bet 5,000 and Rheem called. Both players checked the turn as the appeared on the river. The small blind checked, Rheem bet 7,500, and the small blind called.
"Jacks are good," Rheem said. The small blind turned over , which was even better than jacks. Rheem is down to just 7,000.
With the monotone flop of in the middle, Brett Richey checked to Christian Harder. He bet 900 and Richey made the call to see another club fall on the turn. The prompted both players to check before the fell on the river. Richey checked and Harder fired 900. Richey folded and Harder won the pot to move to 40,000 in chips. Richey slipped back to 21,700.
On the last hand before the table broke, Shaun Deeb and Alex Keating got involved in a hand where the board read on the river. Deeb checked to Keating and he bet 2,000. Deeb check-raised to 8,250 and Keating went into the tank. Eventually, he gave it up and Deeb showed the . He's up to 35,000 now while Keating dropped back to 25,000.
Dan Heimiller was getting low on chips, sitting with around 10,000, when he limped from the cutoff. The big blind then checked his option and it was heads up to the flop. The big blind checked, Heimiller bet 200, and the big blind called as the was put out on the turn.
After both players checked, the hit the river. The big blind led out for 600 only to have Heimiller move all in. It was a huge overbet and the big blind easily let his hand go. Heimiller smiled and shrugged as he took down the small pot and increased his stack to around 11,000.
