Hodge Dumps Ladies

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Mark Hodge had what looked to be a four-bet to about 4,500 in front of him in early position, and he was considering the shove of a player in late position who jammed 15,250. After a couple of minutes, Hodge mucked {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} face-up, saying it was tough to get away from.

Hodge is coming off of an incredible three straight Mid-States Poker Tour final tables, and we'll see if he can pull of a fourth.

Joe Barnard doubled up when he got his {9-}{9-} all in against a player holding {a-Spades}{k-}. The board picked up three spades on the turn but Barnard still managed to fade everything as a red jack fell on the river, enabling him to double up with his last 4,850.

Kroon Holds

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon bet 4,150 on an {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop against two opponents, one of whom folded after some thought. The other, who had checked from under the gun, waved his hands and indicated he was all in, and Kroon snap-shoved some chips in, tabling {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. He was in good shape against {9-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a straight draw, and the {7-Clubs} turn was a blank. The {9-Clubs} river gave Kroon's opponent only an inferior two pair, and Kroon had his opponent's [19,000 or so covered.

Alexander Shows a Big Bluff

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Matt Alexander
Matt Alexander

In a raised pot, Matt Alexander bet 1,700 from late position and saw Ernest Garrett check-raise to 4,000 on a {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. Alexander responded by putting Garrett, who made the final table of Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces a couple of weeks ago, all in for about 16,000 total. Garrett hemmed and hawed, putting his face in his hands.

"You got kings?" he asked. "You just have an overpair or do you have that seven?"

He mucked what he claimed was aces, and Alexander quickly flipped {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for an airball before dragging the pot.

"Great bet, dude," Garrett said.

Level: 6

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 50

Holloway Busted

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Chad Holloway moved in on the turn for 13,925 on a board of {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and his opponent, who had checked, thought it over for a minute or so before calling.

Holloway: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Holloway saw he'd been outflopped and was left with two outs, missing as a second nine hit the river to eliminate him. He headed for the registration desk to reenter.
