Jason Spaeth raised to 525 in middle position, and Jonathan Hanner reraised to 1,200 from the hijack. Spaeth called.
Spaeth check-called a bet of 1,400 from Hanner when the flop came . Spaeth also check-called a bet of 2,700 when the came on the turn. Both players checked the river.
There were five players to see the flop. The small blind checked, Jason Seitz checked in the big blind. As did Hank Mlekoday and John Reading, both in middle position. Rob WazWaz shoved all in for 6,425 on the button.
Seitz reshoved for slightly more (7,000) total, and John Reading called both of the all-ins.
WazWaz:
Seitz:
Reading:
The turn and river sealed the deal for Reading, and he would eliminate both Seitz and WazWaz.
Seitz will have the chance to reenter if he chooses. But unfortunately for WazWaz, he has utilized both of his entries for this flight and will no longer have the opportunity to make day 2, making back to back final tables impossible for the MN native.
