Raleigh Growing Higher

Liam Gannon

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Forrest Raleigh raised to 100,000 from under the gun and a player called on the button while the big blind came along as well.

The flop rolled off 8♣J♦3♠ and action checked over to the button who bet 125,000. The big blind then moved all in for 710,000. Raleigh thought for a bit before putting his bounty chip in the middle to signify he was all in and the button folded.

Big blind: K♥J♣
Forrest Raleigh: A♦J♠

The board ran out 2♥6♣, giving no help for the big blind and allowing Raleigh to add more chips to his growing stack.

Vid Zagar opened to 100,000 from early position and was called by Terry Gonzaga from middle position. Rui Bouqeut three-bet to 350,000, folding out Zagar. Gonzaga then jammed and Bouqeut snap-called for his tournament life, with his 1,450,000 stack.

Rui Bouquet: K♥K♦
Terry Gonzaga: A♠A♦

Gonzaga was disgusted with the K♣Q♦6♣ flop and couldn't find his two outs on the 3♣ turn or 10♥ river.

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Anthony Kennedy opened to 80,000 from the hijack before Peter Zolnai made it 220,000 on the button. Clement Kerrien four-bet to 700,000, which pushed out Kennedy. Zolnai then jammed for 2,400,000 which sent Kerrien into the tank.

After a few minutes, the clock was called and Kerrien, who covered Zolnai, flicked in a chip to set up the biggest pot of the day.

Peter Zolnai: 10♥10♦
Clement Kerrien: A♣K♥

It was a huge flip between two of the chip leaders and the J♦7♠5♣ flop kept Zolnai ahead. He then groaned as the K♦ turn gave Kerrien the lead which he never relinquished as the board completed with the 7♣.
