Lammie-Anders Gets a Dub

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Teresa Lammie-Anders opened in the cutoff and saw Shannon Hamblen three-bet to 50,000 on the button. Lammie-Anders re-jammed for 75,000 total and Hamblen called.

Lammie-Anders: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Hamblen: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The runout {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} ensured another double for Lammie-Anders, and she now finds herself with 175K at the end of Level 17.

Updated Counts

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sixty-five players remain, just one elimination away from reaching hand-for-hand play and two from the bubble bursting. Updated counts from around the room have been provided below.

One of the two recent bust outs to bring the field to its size was Carson Perrault, who confirmed the details of his bust out with PokerNews before jumping in this afternoon's turbo event. According to Perrault, he was down to his last 10 big blinds and called it off from the big blind once the small blind put him all in.

Perrault: {k-}{q-}
Opponent: {10-}{9-}

A nine on the flop was more than Perrault would overcome, and he was felted three from the money as a result.

Joanne Cain Wins Event #2: $135 RunGood Guest Bounty

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joanne Cain - Event 2
Joanne Cain - Event 2

A sizeable 337 entries turned up to Horseshoe Tunica on Tuesday evening for Event #2 of the 2022 RGPS Contenders Tour, and as expected, the action did not disappoint.

Kyle Cartwright, who sits within the top 10 of Horseshoe Tunica's all-time money earnings list, was one of the first ones out in 31st ($189) after the bubble burst shortly beforehand when 33 players remained. The top seven all locked up prizes of more than $1,000, bounties not included, and the final four players ultimately decided on a chop, with Joanne Cain officially claiming first place and earning herself the trophy. Also involved in the chop were William Stanford, Alec Wilson, and Sanh Vuong

Knuckles Falls With Top Set As Bubble Nears

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

David Knuckles opened in middle position and received a call from Mark Kehrees in the small blind. Kehrees check-called on {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and then check-jammed for Knuckles's remaining stack on {4-Diamonds}. Knuckles called.

Knuckles: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Kehrees: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Knuckles had flopped top set but Kehrees turned a flush, leaving him in need of the board pairing to stay alive. It failed to do so as {10-Spades} completed the runout and he toppled his stack of chips forward onto the felt as he made his way from the tournament area.

"What a f*****g joke," added Knuckles. Meanwhile, Kehrees now has just shy of half a million with 67 players remaining, just four eliminations away from the bubble bursting.

Reynolds Falls To Foley

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kyle Reynolds open-jammed for his last handful of big blinds from the hijack and received action from Roger Foley in the small blind.

Reynolds: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Foley: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Reynolds hit a nine on {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} but Foley also paired his queen. It would be Foley to improve more as the runout {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} gave him a full house and left Reynolds effectively playing the board as he was eliminated from the tournament.

Croft Gets There on the River

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Brock Croft
Brock Croft

Minhoe Fan opened under the gun and saw Brock Croft re-jam for 45,000 on his direct left. Action folded back to Fan and he called.

Croft: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Fan: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The two were off to the races, with Fan out in front and remaining there through the flop {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and turn {j-Clubs}. However, the river {a-Clubs} flipped the script, giving Croft aces up and scoring him the double.
