A Few Early Exits

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Raimondi Flops the Nuts

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Peter Raimondi is up to 65,000 in chips and was happy to share with us how he got there.

Raimondi opened to 900, Maria Parlatore called and another player three-bet to 2,600. Both Raimondi and Parlatore called to see a {8-}{7-}{5-} flop with two clubs. Raimondi led out for 2,500, Parlatore called and the other player moved all in for 12,000. Raimondi reshoved for 22,000 and Parlatore called, creating a massive three-way pot.

Parlatore: {4-}{6-}
Raimondi: {9-}{6-}
Player 3: {10-}{10-}

Raimondi was fortunate to flop the nuts against Parlatore's smaller straight, and he avoided disaster when the board bricked out.

Demmerley Sets the Pace

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Art Demmerley ranks fifth on the Hendon Mob's cashes list at the Seneca Poker Room (in major series) and he's already on his way toward moving up that leaderboard here in Event #2. Demmerley is sitting behind a huge stack of 80,000 already and was just joined at the table by Andy Spears, who coincidentally sits one spot ahead of Demmerley on the aforementioned list.

Sande Coolered

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

With a raise in front, Mathew Sande three-bet to 1,500 from middle position. The player on the button four-bet to 4,500 and only Sande called to see a flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Sande checked to his oponent, who bet 3,000, and Sande check-raised to 11,000. The other player paused for about 30 seconds before moving all in for 28,125. Sande snap-called.

Button: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Sande: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The {2-Clubs} turn and {9-Spades} river brought no help to Sande and he was left with 13,000.
