Two More Doubles

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Hand #1: Early position opened to 2,000 and Jare Henderson re-jammed for 14,400 in the hijack. The cutoff called and everybody else folded.

Henderson: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Cutoff: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Henderson had his opponent dominated and watched the runout {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} leave his ace best to score him the double.

Hand #2: Moments later on the same table, an all in and call were overheard as stacks once again got into the middle preflop. This time, it was an under-the-gun player putting Mark Davis at risk, who was on his direct left.

Davis: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: khkd]

The runout was free of a king and Davis scored the the table's second double in short succession.

Brian Rogers in Day 1a action
Brian Rogers in Day 1a action

A player in early position open-limped and the player on the button raised to 2,600. The small blind called for around one-third of his stack and saw Brian Rogers three-bet to 8,600 in the big blind. Action folded back to the small blind and he called all in for less.

All-In Player: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Rogers: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

A safe runout of {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} left Rogers on top and scored him the pot and the knockout.

Girdler Triples

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Bradley Girdler
Bradley Girdler

A player in early position opened the action with a raise to 1,200 and was called by Kenny Dang one seat over. Bradley Girdler also called in the small blind, as did the big blind, and the four went to a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

Three checks sent action onto Dang and he bet 1,700. Girdler check-jammed for 7,200 and the big blind folded. The original raiser then called and Dang did as well, leaving the two to compete further for a side pot.

The turn came the {2-Clubs} and the original raiser went all in for 12,000. Dang called.

Girdler: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Early Position: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Dang: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Girdler's top two pair was out in front with the early-position player ahead for the side pot. The river {a-Clubs} gave Dang Broadway, good for the side pot and knockout, but it also improved Girdler to a flush and scored him the triple.

Dakotah O'Dell Eyeing Back-To-Back RGPS Main Event Final Tables

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Dakotah O'Dell
Dakotah O'Dell

It was just two weeks ago that Dakotah O'Dell found himself down to the final four of the RGPS Contenders Council Bluffs $575 Main Event, where he agreed to a chop that netted himself and the other three remaining players $48,771 (another of whom was Kaleb Dunn, also present in this event).

Though the money was settled, the four remaining players agreed to play down to a winner nonetheless to see who would claim the trophy and accompanying RunGood Pro-Am seat that will be run later this year. From there, it didn't take long for O'Dell to be the one to come out on top.

The score was the largest of O'Dell's career, with his lifetime Hendon Mob live earnings now totaling $82,233. Prior to that, his other largest score was also at Horseshoe Council Bluffs, when he took third place in a $525 Main Event from 390 entries this past the New Years for $17,822.

Now, O'Dell has come further south to test the waters along the Mississippi, and after getting bounced from this afternoon's Day 1b flight earlier, he is back in action on Day 1c. We'll be sure to follow O'Dell's journey to see if he can make back-to-back deep runs here in Tunica.

Compton Shot Down By Bullets

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
William Compton
William Compton

All of the chips got into the middle preflop with William Compton at risk on the button against Mark Kehrees, who was in the big blind.

Compton: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Kehrees: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Compton had seen himself run into a monster and could only pick up one of the two tens he would need to improve beyond Kehrees's bullets as the runout {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} spelled his elimination from the tournament.
