Berthelsen Catches One

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

There was a pot of 7,000 preflop at Table 33, where the small blind bet 2,000 on the {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. A player in middle position made it 7,000 for about half of his stack, and Kevin Berthelsen shoved all in on his left for 30,000. Everyone folded back to the raiser, who thought only briefly before mucking.

There was a bloated preflop pot at Table 37, where Duane Gerleman and Andre Allen saw {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs} hit the felt with 6,500 already in the middle. Gerleman checked in the big blind, and Allen bet 2,000. Gerleman made it 4,000, and Allen called. On the {10-Diamonds} turn, Allen called 3,000, and both checked the {5-Diamonds}, with Allen thinking awhile last to act before turning {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} over.

"I wasn't folding," Gerleman assured him, showing {a-Spades}{q-Spades} and taking the pot.

Players are on break for 15 minutes.

Meier Stays Hot

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Dylan Meier bet 2,300 on the big blind on a board of {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. His opponent in the cutoff expressed disgust at the river card before putting in a call. Meier showed {j-}{10-} for a straight. His opponent slammed down what looked like {a-}{q-}.

Meier has surpassed 50,000 and is closing in on tripling his starting stack by first break.
