That Kind of Day For Ketterer

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Terry Ketterer
Terry Ketterer

Terry Ketterer raised to 11,000 in the cutoff and Kodey Hammer called in the small blind.

The flop came J104 and Ketterer bet 15,000. Hammer then moved all in for 85,000, and Ketterer took about 30 seconds before calling.

Kodey Hammer: KJ All in
Terry Ketterer: 107

Hammer was ahead with top pair, but Ketterer made two pair on the 7 turn to take the lead. The 7 river gave him a full house, and Hammer was sent to the rail.

"You're so brutal, man," tablemate Lee Nguyen said to Ketterer, who stacked up more than 650,000 with that pot.

Sprague Smacks Another Flop

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player under the gun moved all in for 55,000 and Adam Sprague called in the big blind.

All-In Player: AQ All in
Adam Sprague: AK

Sprague had his opponent dominated, and the KK7 flop gave him trips. "Quads again?" a tablemate said, but this time Sprague had to settle for just trips as the board ran out 35. It was still good enough for him to take down the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

Adam Sprague

Adam Sprague moved all in for 38,000 in the cutoff and the big blind called.

Adam Sprague: QQ All in
Big Blind: 99

"Maybe I should've folded that, I don't know. I only have 10 big blinds," the big blind lamented as he was crushed by Sprague's queens. The flop came QQJ to give Sprague quads and a lock on the pot, and he secured the double up once the board ran out 57.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Becky Hanson limped in from middle position and Joshua Reichard called in the small blind. Brian Swanson then raised to 15,000 in the big blind, and only Hanson called.

Swanson continued for 12,000 on the 98K flop, and Hanson called. Both players then checked the J turn.

The river was the 9 and Swanson put out a bet of 5,000. Hanson quickly called with KQ for top pair, and Swanson mucked K7.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the hijack moved all in for 31,000, Nicholas Hammerstrom reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

All-In Player: KQ All in
Nicholas Hammerstrom: AJ

Hammerstrom hit top pair on the J52 flop, then improved to two pair on the A turn. The at-risk player was looking to complete a straight draw on the river to stay alive, but he missed the 6 and was sent to the rail.

Lance Schuchard bet 5,000 from middle position on a flop of 543 and Evan Yellick raised to 15,000 in the cutoff. Doug Rose then moved all in for 35,000 in the small blind, and Skyler Sand reraised to 55,000 in the big blind. Schuchard and Yellick both folded.

Doug Rose: 107 All in
Skyler Sand: 53

"Please hold," Rose pleaded as he flopped a flush against Sand's two pair. The 8 turn and A river were safe for Rose, and he earned the double up.
