Kerlin Quads Up

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Allen Kerlin
Allen Kerlin

Allen Kerlin jammed for 6,700 from middle position, and Jim Gibson called in the hijack, as did a player in the cutoff. The small blind three-bet to 35,000, forcing Gibson out, and the cutoff flung {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} up on the felt and folded as well.

"I had you," the small blind told the cutoff.

Allen Kerlin: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Kerlin's prospects turned bright after a {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop gave him the lead with a pair and a flush draw. The {k-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river were safe for Kerlin, and he quadrupled up.

"Live and suited, that's what I wanted!" Kerlin said while stacking up his new chips.

Nolin Is One With the Duckies

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Joseph Nolin limped in from under the gun, and an early position player jammed for 14,500. Action folded back to Nolin, who called.

Opponent: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Joseph Nolin: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

For the second time today, Nolin's deuces proved best, as he flopped a set and held on a {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades} runout to eliminate his opponent.

While our live updates this weekend are focused on the $600 Main Event, this tournament is actually the culmination of a week's worth of tournaments.

Earlier this week, Event #3: $130 Deep Stack No-Limit Hold'em more than doubled its $10,000 guarantee as 232 runners generated a $22,736 prize pool. The top 29 finishers got paid including Nancy Birnbaum (10th - $468), Michael Bailine (14th - $401), Steve Fredlund (17th - $335), Lisa Teebagy (18th - $335), and Nick Visconti (21st - $268).

The title came down to Alan Katsnelson and Justin Datloff and the former, a WSOP Circuit Seminole Coconut Creek ring winner, ultimately prevailed to claim a $5,359 first-place prize.

Lawson Gets Lucky to Fade the Ultimate Cooler

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player raised to 3,000 from middle position, and the hijack called. Theo Lawson three-bet to 13,600 in the small blind, and the middle-position player called. The hijack four-bet shoved for 55,000, Lawson five-bet shoved for 62,800, and the middle-position player folded.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Theo Lawson: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Lawson shook his head upon seeing the cooler situation he was in, and no relief came on the {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {k-Spades} left the hijack shaking his head instead, however, and Lawson ended up with a full house after the {j-Hearts} fell on the river to earn the huge pot and the knockout.

"I waited for a hand, I couldn't find a hand!" "Boston" Rob Mariano told the RGPS Media Desk in talking about his bustout.

In his words, "I had 20 big blinds under the gun and jacks, I shoved, and the small blind woke up with kings and called and ended up with aces full of kings!"
