Morstad Gets All In Blind, Finds Nice Surprise

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Ryan Jefferson opened for a raise, and John Morstad got it all in blind in the big blind for barely more than the raise.

Jefferson: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Morstad: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Morstad was happy to wake up with a big hand. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to win," he said.

The {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop meant he would though, and running sevens completed the board for his double.

Sell Holds Versus Shimelfarb

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb busted on a flush draw.
Gennady Shimelfarb busted on a flush draw.

Big blind Gennady Shimelfarb called a button raise from Jason Sell before checking a {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. Sell bet 55,000, and Shimelfarb shoved for about 300,000, getting called quickly.

Shimelfarb: {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Sell: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Shimelfarb had solid equity with a flush draw and an overcard, and he picked up more outs with an {8-Hearts} turn.

"Deuce," Sell called.

A {j-Spades} river was just as good, and Shimelfarb sent his stack to his fellow Minnesotan.

Players are on a 10-minute break.

Tollefson Triples Up

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Taylor Tollefson
Taylor Tollefson

Jim Engelbrecht pushed all in from the button, and Edward Veith and Taylor Tollefson called off in the blinds.

Engelbrecht: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Veith: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Tollefson: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Tollefson had woken up with kings in the big to dominate both opponents. A {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop helped nobody besides Tollefson, but an {8-Spades} turn gave Veith a flush draw. The board paired up again with a harmless {8-Clubs} river, shipping Tollefson a triple up. Veith and Engelbrecht busted shortly thereafter.

Deis Doubles With Rockets

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mike Deis opened for 32,000 in early position, and Jun Kim shoved from the big blind when action folded to him. Deis called instantly.

Deis: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Kim: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Kim was dead by the turn on the {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs} board, and Deis, who took sixth at MSPT Majestic Star a few weeks ago, doubled up.
