Tepen Busts Tollefson in Four-Bet Pot

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Taylor Tollefson
Taylor Tollefson

Ryan Tepen opened for a raise in middle position and got three-bet by Taylor Tollefson, who made it 22,000 in the small blind. Tepen four-bet to 38,000, and Tollefson called.

Tollefson shoved all in on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, and Tepen made the call right away.

Tepen: {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Tollefson: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Tollefson had less outs than he thought, with Tepen holding two straight blockers and an ace being no good. A {9-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river sealed his demise, and we won't be seeing him at a second straight Mid-States Poker Tour final table after he got fourth at Ho-Chunk.

Harris Out

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Lance Harris busted out recently.
Lance Harris busted out recently.

Lance Harris just busted out. He said he lost the majority of his stack with {a-}{k-} in a three-bet pot when his opponent flatted his reraise and then called off with {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} on an eight-high flop. Then, he shipped the rest in with {a-}{10-} and ran into the {q-}{q-} of Aaron Johnson to lose the last of his stack.

Kirby Busts Liu to Retake Lead

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Kirby
Matt Kirby

Peixin Liu opened for a raise in middle position and got three callers: Matt Kirby in the cutoff and both blinds.

The small blind bet out 25,000 on the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, and Liu made it 80,000. Kirby flatted, and the small blind folded. The {9-Spades} turned, and Liu moved all in for over 100,000. Kirby snapped, and he tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, way ahead of Liu's {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. The {5-Clubs} hit the river, and Kirby, who entered the day as chip leader, has regained that title.
