Hotter Than An Anchor Bar Chicken Wing

[user127999]

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Adam Foster started the day around 100,000 and has more than triple that now.

He just can't lose a hand. He's won with queens over tens all in preflop, and even went runner-runner to make the nut flush in another hand, getting heaps in on the river to crush one player's dreams.

Foster now has a contending stack and is running hotter than an Anchor Bar chicken wing.

Speaking of running hot, Cassandra Johnson swore she was going to give PokerNews a zero to hero story coming in with little more than five big blinds. So far it's going pretty well, as she's got over 150,000 now with 76 remaining and the money bubble fast approaching.

Sahar Khajavi opend with a raise and Avdelopoulos was the only caller. The flop came and Khajavi continued. Avdelopoulos raised it up and Khajavi jammed it in for heaps.

Avdelopoulos couldn't have called faster with the full house and Khajavi was in shock with the . No ace on the turn or river and as Khajavi went from top ten to out in the second level of the day, Avdelopoulos moved over the half million mark.

Big Stacks Clash

[user127999]

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Leo Kaplin opened to 10,000 and after Andy Stover called, Matt Marcinkiewicz bumped it to 30,000. Only Stover called and they went heads up to a flop.

Stover made it 30,000 and Marcinkiewicz raised to 75,000. Stover called and the turn brought the . Stover led for 65,000 and Marcinkiewicz shipped it in for a little more.

Holding the open-ender and a flush draw, Stover called, but he would need to hit against Marcinkiewicz' trips. He didn't. The river came the and the pot was pushed to Marcinkiewicz.

In the meantime, Blake Napierala found a flush and an opponent willing to bluff into him for heaps. Napierala now has a contending stack as well.
