The Bet of the Drumm

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With about 7,000 in the middle and a completed board reading {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Jeremy Drumm faced a bet of 3,200 choosing to raise it up to 10,000. His opponent took a moment before eventually making the call. Drumm tabled the {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, making a straight on the river, and his opponent mucked.

Miller check-called a bet of 6,000 and his opponent tabled the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for the bottom end of the straight.

Hosbach Stays Alive

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

After the dinner break on Day 1a Scott Hosbach had more than 10% of the chips in play and a huge lead over the field. Just a couple levels later and Hosbach's seat was empty.

Hosbach was not off to a good start here on Day 1b falling to just 4,425. He got it all in preflop with {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} against an opponent's {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Although a {10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} board got pretty scary along the way, Hosbach was able to fade and score a much needed double up.
