Perry Holds After Sweat

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Colin Perry shoved all in for 9,600 from the hijack, and the big blind called.

Perry: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Hijack: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts}, giving both players a sweat as Perry picked up top pair while the big blind had a flush draw. The {8-Clubs} turn and {6-Clubs} river were both blanks.

Sztamburski's Mistakes Ends Up Paying Off

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player was all in for 3,600 at Table 29 when we arrived, and Matt Sztamburski had already called. David Rockvam shoved from the big blind, and Sztamburski asked for a count. It was 10,400 total.

"I did this to myself," he said with a sigh as he flicked in a call.

Sztamburski: {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Rockvam: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Third player: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Sztamburski had live cards and took the lead as {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flopped. His jacks held on the {5-Clubs} turn and {2-Hearts} river, eliminating both opponents.

"I didn't see him go all in," Sztamburski confessed with a grin.

Fink Takes Nasty Beat

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A player was all in preflop for 4,600 and called in two spots when {j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flopped. One of the active players shipped and Mark Fink called immediately with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. The preflop all-in player had {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and the postflop shipper had {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The {k-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river meant both of Fink's opponents made straights.

Phan Eliminated

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ryan Phan
Ryan Phan

Ryan Phan is going to have to get through Day 1c if he wants to repeat his RunGood final table performance from this spring. As Duster Ellis told it, he opened with {a-}{a-} and got action from Phan, who shoved over his continuation-bet on a king-high flop with {k-}{j-}. Phan found no improvement on the last two streets and Ellis collected his stack.

Flips Go to Perry, Fish

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Colin Perry pushed from late position with about 20,000 and the big blind called off with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Perry's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} held up as the board ran out dead.

At the neighboring table, Brandon Fish had his {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} hold against {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} when he shipped over a late-position open and a button call.

Another Big Pot for Perry

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Colin Perry arrived at Table 32 with just a few big blinds and looked to be on his last legs after break, but he has seen his fortunes turn in a big way. He's now at about 110,000 after having {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} hold on an {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop against a player in the big blind with {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}.
