Somerville Sheds a Tear as he Hits the Rail

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

Well, not really, but he gave us permission to dramatize the situation.

Jason Somerville was down to his final 15,500 chips when the action folded to him in the small blind. Somerville moved all in and Chad Gerry called from the big blind in an attempt to take out the host of the event.

Somerville: {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Chad Gerry: {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Somerville got up, wished the other players good luck before exiting the tournament. Somerville stuck around to support the other players left in the tournament, and he's probably exited for the next event at 8:00 p.m. tonight, the $85 All-in or Fold.

O'Brien Extends His Lead

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dan O'Brien just took down two more pots and he's now sitting on a big stack worth 170,000. First was David Bowles who was all in for one ante after which O'Brien called from the small blind and the big blind checked.

The flop brought out {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and O'Brien bet 6,000, his opponent called. The turn was the {3-Spades} and now O'Brien check-called 14,000, after which the river was the {2-Hearts}. Both players checked and O'Brien tabled {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for the winner. His opponent showed {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and O'Brien bumped his stack to around 140,000 chips.

On the next hand the player in the cutoff moved all in for about 30,000 chips and O'Brien called from the button.

O'Brien: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and O'Brien jumped up to 170,000 chips.

More for O'Brien

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Jordan Harris limped in for 6,000. Play then folded to Dan O'Brien in the big blind, and he checked his option before the dealer ran out the paired {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. O'Brien checked, and Harris also checked.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, and O'Brien bet 9,000. Harris made the call, and the river was the {7-Clubs}. O'Brien fired 22,000 with two-handed motion, and Harris gave it up.

With that, O'Brien hit the 200,000-chip mark.
