: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Big blind Curtis Edens bet 17,000 on the end with the board having come 
. Two players quickly folded, but Greg Jennings was stickier.
"Curtis, Curtis, Curtis," he said. "Why so much? I can beat ace-ten."

.
"He said he could beat ace-ten, this is the nuts," Rodney Spriggs exclaimed.
Indeed, Jennings mucked.

Jennings Sends Presley, Dixon Packing
Level 7
: 400/800, 100 ante
Terry Presley made it 2,200 to go under the gun, and Rodney Spriggs three-bet to 7,200 on his left. Greg Jennings cold-called in the cutoff, and Jerry Dixon put his last 9,875 in from the button. Everyone else called, bringing a flop four ways. Presley moved all in for 7,400, and Jennings snap-called after Spriggs mucked.
Dixon: 
Presley: 
Jennings:
Jennings was in command with a set, but the 
turn gave Presley outs with a flush draw. Both improved on the river but Jennings' boat was best.

river.

: 300/600, 75 ante
Raymond Kilpatrick had raised to 5,575 from early position and Brian Unkenholz made it 15,000 to go. When action folded back to Kilpatrick, he pushing in a massive tower of chips, enough to put Unkenholz at risk.
