Since April 2018, Dallas resident Phillip Teel has found tournament success at both Tulsa's Hard Rock and Durant's Choctaw Casino.

Of his ten tournament cashes Teel has final tabled six. He also has two wins, both in more unorthodox no-limit hold'em events. The first was a Win the Pot/Win the Button event of the Card Player Poker Tour for $1,455. The second was a Winner Take All World Poker Tour event for $2,134.

Teel's biggest cash, $7,000, was for finishing sixth in July's RunGood Weekend Main Event at Hard Rock. With more than $24,000 in tournament winnings Teel and making final tables 60% of the time when he cashes, he is certainly a threat to final table this weekend.

Hamrick Gets Respect

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Leon Hamrick

Mike Marn opened the pot for 3,000 and local grinder Jared Ward three-bet to 8,500. The action folded to Leon Hamrick and he quickly moved all-in for 21,100.

Marn folded and Ward grimaced as he thought over his options. Ward had Hamrick covered, but he'd be left with just 8,000 if he called and lost the hand.

In the end, Ward decided to fold.

Tulsa's Brady Robbins has found success at Hard Rock Casino Resort in the form of numerous cashes over the years. In March he cashed three times during the WSOP Circuit stop. He placed 52nd in the series main event for $3,840. He has total live earnings of more than $22,000.

While this is not his first poker tournament, Brady's son, Chance, is playing his first Oklahoma State Poker Championship Main Event today. He is looking to record his first cash.

Midway through Day 1a, Chance has run his stack up to more than double the starting stack. Brady has yet to gain any traction, he sits on less than half the starting stack.

Martin Doubles through Moore

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante
Mark Martin
Mark Martin

Mark Martin and Megan Moore saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and both players got all their chips in the middle.

Megan Moore: {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Mark Martin: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Martin was the one all-in as Moore had him covered. With both straight and flush draws, Martin was a slight favorite to win the hand but had to catch to stay alive.

The turn paired the board with the {7-Diamonds}, and Martin's draw came in on the river with the {3-Spades}.
