Hamrick Gets Respect

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Leon Hamrick
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.

Final Table Phil

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Phillip Teel
Phillip Teel

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.

The player first to act moved all-in for 13,000. Three seats over Megan Moore moved all-in as well for 25,000. The remaining players got out of the way for the showdown.

Megan Moore {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Moore's opponent had her dominated but the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop put her in the lead.

The {3-Spades} gave her opponent nut flush outs but the river {6-Hearts} gave Moore the pot, busting her opponent.
