Bettcher: ![]()
![]()
Kauffman: ![]()
![]()
An ace in the window of ![]()

and river

Hand #3: A second all-in situation occurred on the table where Watkins was just eliminated, with Jason Crews getting all in with ![]()
against the ![]()
of Eric Kyle and failing to get there.
Dakotah O'Dell limped in from early position and saw action fold around to Kaleb Dunn, who completed his small blind. Raymond Yoder checked his option in the big blind and the three saw a flop of ![]()
![]()
.
Action checked to O'Dell and he bet 45,000. Dunn check-raised to 120,000 and Yoder thought for a bit before cold-calling.
"All right," said Yoder, folding his hand, and both players checked the turn
to bring the river
on board.
"Forty (thousand)," said Dunn, throwing out chips to match. Yoder looked at Dunn on his direct right and threw out chips to call.
Dunn showed ![]()
for two queens and it was good for the pot.
Hand #1: Vicki McKee opened to 60,000 under the gun and received a call in middle position from Donald Nimneh. Action went heads up to a flop of ![]()
![]()
and McKee checked to Nimneh, who bet 50,000. McKee called.
McKee check-called another 80,000 on the turn
and the river came
. She checked once more and Nimneh reached for chips, betting another 85,000.
"I missed it," said McKee as she tossed her cards to the muck without delay.
"I knew you was on it!" replied Nimneh. He then added, "we probably had the same hand." McKee said she had ace-ten.
Hand #2: Moments later, Tim Dorzweiler was seen making his way to the payouts desk as his stack was being shipped to McKee. McKee and Nimneh filled in the details, saying that stacks got in after McKee called a shove on the turn of a three-club board.
Dorzweiler: ![]()
![]()
McKee: ![]()
![]()
Dorzweiler's bluff was called by McKee's nut flush draw, which proved to be ahead on its own, and a seven failed to fall on the river to spell his elimination.
In the meantime, Mike Vanier and Kevin Venhaus were also recently eliminated on adjacent tables, bringing the field down to 23.
Robert Palacios raised in middle position and saw David Caron three-bet to 110,000 in the small blind. Palacios four-bet jammed and Caron asked for a count, which was in the process of being totaled to 414,000 before he wasted no further time calling.
Palacios: ![]()

Caron: ![]()
![]()
"Come on, three outer," requested Palacios, and his request was immediately granted on ![]()
