"How Did I Get So Lucky?!"

HillKerby

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

An all in and call were overheard as stacks got into the middle preflop with an under-the-gun player at risk for 49,000 against Rusty Wooten in the hijack.

Under the Gun:
Wooten:

Wooten found himself in even better shape after the flop and left his opponent drawing dead after the turn hit the felt. The river completed the runout and the pot was shipped his way.

"How did I get so lucky?!" remarked Wooten of coolering his opponent, and he now has a six-figure stack with a handful of minutes remaining in Level 11.

Additionally, Richard Bolden was spotted at an adjacent table with a stack nearing a quarter-million. He appears to be the largest stack in the room among the nine tables now left in play.

HillKerby

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Rose Cooney saw action fold to her in the cutoff and open-jammed for 48,400. ClubGG Qualifier Matt Molsen called all in for 33,400 in the big blind.

Molsen:
Cooney:

Molsen found himself needing to fade Cooney's two live undercards until the flop gave him top two pair. Needing only to fade running clubs for elimination or running straight cards for a chop, the latter remained a possibility on the turn . However, the river was safe and he scored the full double, leaving Cooney with just 15K after the pot was made right.
