Hart Wins With Second Barrel

Hill Kerby

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

The dealer was in the process of scooping up 1,200 apiece and announcing that four players would be going to a flop, which came . Players in the big blind and under the gun checked to put action on Rhonda Hart in early position, who bet 2,000 and was called by the hijack. Both players who checked then folded.

Action went heads up to the turn and Hart reached for chips, betting another 4,000. Her final opponent in the hand thought for a handful of seconds and then folded, showing as he sent his cards to the muck.

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 spelled his elimination from the tournament.

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

Hill Kerby

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

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.

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