A Round of Updated Chip Counts

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jacobson Wins a Big One From Underwood

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Lane Jacobson
Lane Jacobson

Day 1a chip leader Lane Jacobson has just dragged a large pot to boost his already sizable stack.

After Jacobson raised in early position and was called by a player in middle position, Ben Underwood squeezed from the big blind to 20,000.

Jacobson came back with a four-bet to 50,000 which folded out the middle position player, but didn't shed Underwood, who called.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Underwood check-called a bet of 35,000 from Jacobson.

They each checked the {a-Diamonds} turn, then on the {10-Diamonds} river, Underwood bet 65,000 and was snap-called by Jacobson.

Underwood showed {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts} but Underwood showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a turned top pair and the winner.

With about 12,000 in the middle on a turn board of {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Bob Mather bet 6,500 from the hijack and was called by Joshua Steiner on the button.

The river brought the {a-Hearts}, putting a fourth heart on the board. Mather checked and Steiner checked behind.

Mather showed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a rivered top pair. Steiner shook his head slightly, then mucked his cards as the pot was pushed to the RunGood Thunder Valley PLO Event champion.

Burum Bounces Platt

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Chad Burum
Chad Burum

A short-stacked Jeff Platt moved his last 21,500 chips in from middle position and was called by Chad Burum in the small blind.

Platt was at risk, but had a more than decent chance to chop.

Jeff Platt: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Chad Burum: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

It was a battle of spades versus clubs, with each player picking up one more on the {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop.

Burum picked up a fourth club on the turn in the {q-Clubs}, then nailed the {8-Clubs} on the river to send Platt to the rail in unceremonious fashion.

Meanwhile at another table, Justin Saliba was also eliminated.

With approximately 35,000 in the pot on a completed board of {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Florencio Arguelles bet 30,000 from the small blind.

In late position, Mark Egbert stewed over his decision before plunking down a stack of chips to call.

Arguelles showed {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped set and rivered full house.

Egbert bemoaned the result as he showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, saying "it's tough to fold that."
