Sheridan's Crying Call Fails; Dresch Hits the Rail

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Rodney Colson has heaps as the night nears its end.
Rodney Colson has heaps as the night nears its end.

Rodney Colson bet 25,000 on the end on a board of {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Mychal Sheridan thought for awhile before tossing out a call. Colson showed {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for top pair on the flop, and Sheridan seemed peeved at himself as he mucked, saying he had a small pair in the hole.

"You don't hit your set, you get out," he muttered to himself.

Jeremy Dresch busted at a different table.

Wazwaz Wins a Race

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Rob Wazwaz three-bet to 12,000 from the button after a player raised to 5,500 in an early position. The opener shipped for about 45,000, and Wazwaz quickly called.

"Good luck," Wazwaz said upon seeing his opponent's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, indicating it was a race. Indeed, Wazwaz flipped {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

A community of {4-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Hearts} meant Wazwaz locked it up on the river with a pair of aces. After the hand, he proclaimed that he knew he would get there. A player asked how he knew, and Wazwaz was vague.

"I have my reasons," he said cryptically.

At another table, Bill Criego went bust.

Null Takes Chip Lead in Monster Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Brady Nissen's top two was no good.
Brady Nissen's top two was no good.

Table 29 just saw by far the biggest pot of the night.

Brady Nissen had about 160,000, and he got it all in at risk on the turn with the board reading {4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} with {q-}{j-}, top two pair. Andrew Null covered him and had the better hand with set of sixes ({6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}), and he needed only to fade a queen or a jack on the river. Paint hit the board, but it was the {k-Hearts}, and Null dragged the enormous pot while a disappointed Nissen looked on.

Alan Carty opened for 4,200 under the gun, and Nick Pupillo jammed his 28,500 stack from middle position. Action folded back to Carty, who quickly called. Pupillo shook his head, revealing {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but he was in better shape than he seemed to expect as Carty had {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. One of Pupillo's outs materialized on the {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board, but since it was preceded by a third eight for Carty, it was for naught.
