Ahmed Sends Berger to the Rail

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Steve Berger and Muneer Ahmed got in a preflop raising war and it was Berger's fist who came down heavily on the table when the cards were tabled.

Steve Berger: QQAll in
Muneer Ahmed: AA

Berger was at risk for around 45,000 and the flop of 753 provided no immediate help. The 4 on the turn gave him some chop outs but the 10 bricked out on the river.

Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Travis Johnecheck

If you could ask someone for the three best starting hands in no-limit hold'em, they would say pocket aces, pocket kings, and pocket queens. The chances of three players getting those hands all in the same hand, very unlikely.

But it happened on Table 13 and it was Travis Johnecheck who held the pocket aces (number 1) and was the shortest stack with 58,200. There was a very small side pot between Preston Willier who had pocket queens and Uri Foox with the pocket kings.

The board ran out J8739 and Johnecheck's aces held on to scoop a huge main pot while Foox received a small consolation prize.

Osterbauer Cleans Out Karri

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Joseph Osterbauer
Joseph Osterbauer

Three players went to a flop of A1010 and Joseph Osterbauer took the betting lead with a bet of 3,300. He was called by Prabhakar Karri in early position and the J rolled off on the turn.

Karri checked again and Osterbauer fired out another bet of 15,000. Karri still called and the 9 completed the board. Karri checked once more and Osterbauer dropped in a huge bet of 75,000. Karri mumbled to himself and then called off his stack of around 40,000. Osterbauer rolled over J10 for a full house while Karri could only muster AQ.
