Jared “BeamDoctorPoker” Halter Streams PokerStars Platinum Pass Invitational Victory

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jared Halter
Jared Halter

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) is happening now, and later this month the PokerStars Players NLH Hold’em Championship (PSPC) will take place January 30-February 3. One man who will be heading to the Bahamas is 41-year-old Jared “BeamDoctorPoker” Halter, who won a Platinum Pass on PokerStars Michigan.

“I won a PSPC Platinum Pass on Wednesday, November 9,” Halter told PokerNews. “I had just returned from Vegas that morning on a red eye flight and slept for four hours on a friend’s couch before I drove home for two hours. To be honest, I was very fortunate to win because I had a very rough 72 hours. Some things happened in Vegas that caused me to have anxiety attacks for the first time in my life and I ended up only sleeping about five hours total in the previous 48.”

He continued: “I was exhausted and when the MTT started, I said to myself, it will take a miracle for me to win. Funny enough, I mis-clicked two different times early in the tourney and called three-bets with hands like 85o (I did not win those hands). I streamed the tourney, and only single tabled it, because of how tired and ungrounded I felt from the previous time. During the stream, I talked about how exhausted I was and how there was almost zero chance I win. Of course, as we know, the universe had a different plan.”

Lucas Pignay: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Zhi Yi Ning: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Pignay had top pair top kicker while Ning had second pair. The river came the {2-Hearts} which gave Pignay the double up.

Fernandez Looks Up Adams

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sergio Fernandez opened to 5,500 from under the gun and was called by Omar Del Pino and Timothy Adams in the blinds. The flop came {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and the action checked around to the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

All three players checked again and the {7-Diamonds} completed the board. Timothy Adams finally took a stab at the pot with a bet of 28,500 on the river. Fernandez called and Del Pino quickly folded. Adams tabled {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for air while Fernandez showed {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to claim the pot.

Nitsche Slows Beresford; "Boston Rob" Chipping Up

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was heads up with {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on the board when Conor Beresford bet 14,000 after Dominik Nitsche checked. Nitsche called and the river was {8-Diamonds}. Nitsche checked once again and Beresford bet 37,000. After a moment of consideration, Nitsche called and turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the flush.

"You win," Beresford said as he flashed just the {8-Hearts} before his hand went into the muck.

Meanwhile, Rob Mariano is nearing the 200,000 mark at the same table.

Krasimir Yankov bet the {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs} turn for 16,500 when checked to by Matt Berkey and the latter folded from under the gun.

Shortly after, Adria Diaz limped and so did Rodger Johnson on the button, Daryl Inglis in the small blind and Berkey in the big blind. The {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop was checked all the way and Berkey bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 5,000. Only Diaz called and Berkey bet again the {3-Hearts} river to force out Diaz.

Platinum Pass Violence

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Diego Cuellar
Diego Cuellar

Platinum Pass winner Diego Cuellar opened under the gun to 5,000 and action folded around to fellow Platinum Pass winner Antonio Hernandez, who just ripped it in for a total of 72,000.

Cuellar went into the tank for a good while, and after asking the dealer for a confirmed count, he made the call, putting Hernandez at risk.

Antonio Hernandez: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Diego Cuellar: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Cuellar was a favorite in this flip, and the board of {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs} solidified his victory with nines full of deuces on the river and he knocked out Hernandez in the process.

Daewoong Song: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Leo Margets: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Song was in a dominant position to begin the hand and found a clean {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts} runout to stay alive at Margets' expense.
