Lamphere Hanging in There

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Adam Lamphere
Adam Lamphere

Adam Lamphere raised to 2,100 from the cutoff and received a call from a player on the button, as well as an opponent from the big blind. The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Lamphere fired 3,300 after a check. Both players folded and Lamphere took the pot.

After a rough Day 1a, Lamphere has continued trying to make things happen and is still alive here on Day 1b, trying to match previous deep runs here at FireKeepers.

Austin Takes A Hit

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Ryan Austin raised from middle position and Ben Lindemulder called from late position. The flop was {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Austin checked. Lindemulder bet 2,500 and Austin made the call. The {q-Hearts} fell on the turn and both players checked. The river was the {10-Hearts} and Austin led for 1,500.

Lindemulder thought for a moment, before pushing all in for 18,300. Austin called, but mucked when Lindemulder turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for quads.

It Was His Big Blind and it Was Special

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Nick Guagenti not only found a dream flop, but also the dream situation, as he was able to get two players to commit all of their chips with {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} respectively after a flop of {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Guagenti held {8-Spades}{2-Spades} and needed only to fade running straight flush cards to take the big pot.

The {3-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river completed the dream and Guagenti raked the chips.

Chainsaw Choked

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, who never seemed to be able to get anything going today, open-shoved all in from the hijack for his last 7,475. Mike Hunter moved all in over the top from the button and the blinds folded.

Kessler: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Hunter: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Kessler exited the tournament area.

Level: 8

Blinds: 300/600

Austin With a Stack as Big as Texas

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

We walked up to a board of {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Ryan Austin had Jerry Holderman all in and drawing slim.

Austin: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Holderman: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {3-Clubs} fell on the river and Austin looks to have the largest stack in the room.
