Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Michael Penrose caught up with PokerNews to explain how he doubled up to nearly reach the 100,000 chip mark.

According to Penrose, the under-the-gun player raised to 2,500, the player on the button called, and he raised to 10,000 in the big blind. Under the gun then moved all in for about 68,000 total, the button folded, and he called off his remaining stack of about 38,000 to put himself at risk.

The board ran out 5♠3♠2♦J♣K♠ with Penrose drilling the two-outer on the river to crack aces and stay alive.

James Rion raised to 1,200 in early position, the player in the hijack called, as did Ryan Appleberry in the cutoff.

The flop came 10♠2♦J♠, Rion continued for 1,600, and only Appleberry called to see the 10♥ turn.

Rion slowed down with a check and Appleberry bet 2,500, which Rion called.

On the 5♦ river, Rion checked again and Appleberry fired out a bet of 8,000. Rion thought for a brief moment and made the call, only to see the bad news when Appleberry turned over 10♣9♦ for trips.
