Ace In The Window

[user127999]

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

A run of bad luck just sent Tony Parete packing.

Then it was a player with finding ace in the window to crack his pocket fours.

Shorties Shove

[user127999]

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Short stacks Travell Thomas and Jeffrey Joseph have been moved to the same table and appear to be taking turns shipping it in.

So far these attempts to either double back into contention or go home have failed with both getting no callers and simply picking up the blinds and antes.

Wish Come True

[user127999]

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Jeffrey Joseph and Travell Thomas both had their wish granted, doubling and tripling back to decent sized stacks.

First Joseph got it in with nines against queens preflop and flopped a set. Then Thomas got it in with against and preflop, found a five on the flop and held.
