A Couple Hands from Table 2

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hand #1: Trent Wilt opened to 9,000 from middle position and was three-bet by Rob Wazwaz to 32,000 out of the cutoff. Action made its way back to Wilt and he four-bet all in. Wazwaz called.

Rob Wazwaz: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Trent Wilt: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Wilt was unable to improve as the runout came {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Stacks were pushed forward and Wazwaz was totaled to have 103,000. That number was counted out of Wilt's stack and he found himself with just 2,000 left.

Hand #2: Wilt put his last 2,000 in and action folded around to Stuart Luhm, who completed his small blind. Bobby Cassioppi was in the big blind and pumped it up to 16,000. Luhm called.

The flop was {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Luh led out with a bet of 20,000. Cassipopi called. The turn came {a-Hearts} and Luhm continued, firing another 35,000. Cassioppi stuck around and the river came {3-Diamonds}. Both players checked and all three hands were exposed.

Trent Wilt: {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Stuart Luhm: {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Bobby Cassioppi: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

All three players had one pair with Cassioppi's being the best of the three, earning him both the main and the side pot as Wilt was eliminated from the tournament.

Sorenson Off To a Fast Start

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

John Sorenson was in the hijack and opened to 8,000. Action folded to Mike Nelson, who three-bet all in out of the small blind. The big blind folded after long deliberation to put action back onto Sorenson, who quickly called for less.

John Sorenson: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Mike Nelson: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

"Nice hand," Nelson said to Sorenson as the flop came {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

"It ain't over till it's over," responded Sorenson, watching the turn fall {9-Clubs}.

"A nice hand either way," said Nelson. The river {j-Clubs} completed the runout with Sorenson's hand remaining best and his stack was counted out to be 96,000. Nelson paid the required amount, leaving him with just a handful of blinds left in his stack. Meanwhile, Sorenson appeared to have already doubled once prior, bringing his stack up to 200,000 from the 40,000 he brought into the day.

Scotter Clark: {j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Jerry Hanson: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, giving Clark jacks up to top Hanson's nines up to score the double.

One for Whammy

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sammy Whammy
Sammy Whammy

Sammy Whammy was in the process of collecting a pot from an all-in preflop situation with Steve Bertsch that left Bertsch hitting the rail as one of the first bust-outs of the day. Whammy was kind enough to fill in the action after the fact.

Whammy opened to 15,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Bertsch, who shoved his last 35,000 or so in from the big blind. Whammy made the call and they were off to the races.

Steve Bertsch: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Sammy Whammy: {j-Spades}{q-Spades}

A jack on the flop was all Whammy needed to pull in front. He held as the turn and river were unable to improve Bertsch beyond Whammy's jacks, resulting in his elimination from the tournament.

Fussy Gets an Early Double

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jeff Taylor opened the action with a raise to 10,500 from middle position and was three-bet all in by Leo Fussy for the 34,500 he brought into the day. Fussy was in the hijack and action made its way back to Taylor, who confirmed the amount before calling.

"Kings!" said Fussy, tabling {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

"Worse!" responded Taylor, showing {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

"What was I supposed to do?" said Fussy to another player at the table.

"Exactly that!" said the player.

The board ran out in Fussy's favor, coming {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} to score the double. He sent his stack forward to be counted and was then paid by Taylor.

"Why couldn't you have had 44 (thousand)?" said Taylor as he sent the chips Fussy's way.

Welcome To Day 2 of the 2019 Canterbury Park Fall Poker Classic $1,100 Main Event

A field of 62 will return Sunday to Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN to play under one roof for the first time.

The 2019 Fall Poker Classic $1,100 Main Event saw 376 entries fire across two days at the $300,000 guaranteed tournament. The guarantee was exceeded with a total prize pool of $364,720, and all returning players have their eyes set on the top prize of $80,241.

Day 1a chip leader Jeff Petronack enters the day atop the counts with a massive stack of 377,500. His stack was unmatched by anybody from Day 1b, though 11 players from that flight come into the day ahead of Day 1a’s second-place finisher Rob Wazwaz (168,500).

Of those 11, Steven Belland (243,000) bagged the top stack from Day 1b. Others to enter the day with above 200,000 in chips include Cody Jaeschke (226,500), Justin Thurlow (217,500), and Kou Vang (211,500).

Just 45 places will be paid, meaning everybody still has work to do before locking up a first-level payout of $2,006. Plenty of formidable opponents still remain throughout the entire leader board, including former champions Brad Berman (88,500), Scotter Clark (61,000), and Nghia “3 Putts” Le (38,500).

Cards fly at 12:30 p.m. local time with 40 minute levels for the duration of the tournament, beginning at with Level 15 (2,000/4,000/4,000). They will escalate as necessary until a winner has been determined, with the big-blind ante being cut in half when four players remain.

Who will be the next Main Event champion of this long-running series? Stay tuned to PokerNews to find out.
