Jacks Cannot Hold On

On blinds of 2,000/4,000, "Hodgmac" open-ripped 44,392 and "Wamboozler" then raised it up to 84,784. Everyone else folded and just two were left for a showdown.

"Hodgmac": {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
"Wamboozler": {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and a turned flush pulled in the pot for "Hodgmac", doubling up in the process of doing so.

Late Registration Has Come to a Close

The 15 level late registration period has now come to an end and a total of 92 players signed up, falling just shy of the $20,000 guarantee that was set.

Only 33 are left in the field and of those, just 16 are set to find a payday. A min-cash will be taking home $337 and the eventual winner is going to pull in $4,800 for their victory.

"TrappinDonkeys" Sitting Among the Top After Cooler

On blinds of 1,200/2,400, "TrappinDonkeys" opened from under the gun and "farmhand" then shoved around 69,400 from middle position. "TrappinDonkeys" called and the two flipped over their hands in what was a cooler of a pot.

"farmhand": {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
"TrappinDonkeys": {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The classic aces versus kings saw a {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop, leaving aces in front and a {4-Spades}{2-Clubs} runout changed not a thing, shipping the monster pot to "TrappinDonkeys".
