Olson Takes It Down on the Turn

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Eggen limped under the gun, Cody Olson called in middle position, and the player on the button called as well. Tim Stang bumped it up to 3,500 in the small blind, resulting in calls from Eggen and Olson and a fold from the player on the button.

The flop came Q67 and it checked over to Olson who put out a bet of 2,500. Stang folded and Eggen made the call.

On the J turn, Eggen check-folded and showed 107 when Olson fired out a bet of 4,500.

Long Folds Out Schlueter

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between the under-the-gun Cary Long and Zachary Schlueter in the big blind.

With roughly 40,000 in the middle and the board reading J9Q2 Schlueter checked and Long moved all in for 39,400 to put himself at risk.

Schlueter thought for a moment before folding AK face-up. Long mucked his cards and the pot was pushed his way.

Barker Sitting Above 100k

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing in a hand between the under-the-gun player and Jory Barker in early position.

With about 50,000 in the middle and the board reading 10542J, under the gun checked and Barker moved all in for roughly a pot-sized bet to put under the gun at risk, who had a little over 40,000 behind.

Cleary faced with a tough decision, under the gun went into the tank, debating whether or not to call.

"I'll show you when you fold. You'll see either way," said Barker.

Under the gun eventually flicked in the call only to see the bad news that his 109 for a pair of tens was no good against the JJ of Barker, who rivered a set.

Barker mentioned to PokerNews after the hand that he was on his second bullet, after having busted a short while ago.

Dan Burcham
Dan Burcham

Back in April at the 2025 RPT Montana State Poker Championship, Dan Burcham claimed victory to capture his career-best score of $29,000 along with the RPT bracelet.

The ninth edition of the tournament attracted 283 entries, generating a prize pool of $148,575. Burcham defeated Andrew Hilleren in a back-and-forth heads-up match to win the title, something that meant more to him than the money.

"The money is nice, I'm not going to lie," Burcham told PokerNews following his win. "I get a lot of my self-worth from my peers thinking I did well at something. This is a lot of validation that I can hang with the best players in Montana. It means a lot to me".
