David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 5,000 ante

Dakota Geer bet 3,000 from the button on a flop of A♠4♥Q♠ and was called by the small blind, Richard Hass under the gun, and another opponent in the cutoff.

Geer bet another 6,500 on the 10♥ turn, and only the small blind and Hass called this time. All three players checked the 6♦ river.

Geer showed 4♣4♦ for a set. "Look at all the stuff I had," Hass said as he mucked K♠8♠, while the small blind also surrendered the pot to Geer.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 5,000 ante

"Five-way all in at Table #6," tournament director Jerry Sorrells announced to the room. The button had his last 25,000 in the middle, the small blind shoved for 16,000, the under-the-gun player 10,000, and Tanner Larson 15,000 in middle position. Preston Dean, meanwhile, had all four opponents covered and at risk.

Under-the-gun player: 4♠3♠ All in
Tanner Larson: Q♥10♠ All in
Small blind: A♠K♥ All in
Button: J♥J♣ All in
Preston Dean: J♦10♦

The flop came K♠9♣5♠ to give the small blind the lead with top pair, while Dean picked up a straight draw. The turn was the 9♥, but Dean spiked the Q♣ on the river to make his straight and send all four opponents to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 5,000 ante

Controversy erupted at Silas Sneed's table, where he had moved all in from early position on a board of 6♦6♣8♣7♥ and Ross Lebo called for his last 20,000 in middle position.

Sneed showed Q♥Q♦, while Lebo had just 2♥2♠ and was left with just two outs going to the river. The dealer, though, took Sneed's cards and mucked them, saying he thought Sneed had folded. Tournament officials had to go check the cameras and recreate the board, a process that took several minutes.

The cards were eventually retrieved, and the river card turned out to be the 5♣ as Lebo was, finally, sent to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 5,000 ante

A player in middle position moved all in for 5,500 on a flop of 10♦3♥5♦ and Jon Red Owl then reshoved for 25,500 in the hijack. Tom Sternod called in the cutoff to put both opponents at risk.

Middle-Position Player: Q♦Q♠ All in
Jon Red Owl: 3♣3♠ All in
Tom Sternod: A♣10♥

Red Owl had spiked a set to take the lead, and the J♣ turn and J♠ river improved him to a full house. Red Owl doubled up off Sternod, while the middle-position player was sent to the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Miles Barnum was a few minutes late getting back from break and was still only standing by his seat when he three-bet to 3,500 in the small blind. The button called, and they went to a flop of A♦Q♠J♦.

Barnum then bet 2,500, and his opponent called. Both players checked the 10♦ turn, and Barnum then bet 5,500 on the J♠ river. His opponent took a minute until calling, and Barum showed K♥Q♥ for a straight. His opponent mucked A♥9♦.

Dave Ouellette just took his seat in this flight despite bagging up yesterday's Day 1a. Ouellette, as usual, was accompanied by his dog, Jack. "He's the famous one," Ouellette said.
