"That Was a Pretty Good Runout"

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

There was around 8,000 in the pot on the river with a board of {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Aaron Massey had a bet of 4,900 out in front of him from early position. Action was on the cutoff, who was thinking about his decision.

After over a minute, a call was announced. Massey quickly tabled {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs} to show a full house and began to take his bet back. His opponent had thrown a T5,000 chip in to call and Massey tossed him a T100 chip for change as he collected his newly-acquired chips.

"That was a pretty good runout!" said the player in the one-seat. Massey looked up and nodded slightly in approval.

Gahan Finds a Hero Call for Stacks

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Kyle Gahan

The board read {j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs} in a heads up pot with around 20,000 in the middle and the cutoff was all in for 10,400. Action was on Kyle Gahan in the big blind, who was facing a decision for all of his chips.

After at least two minutes, Gahan called and hands were tabled.

Cutoff: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Kyle Gahan: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Gahan found a call with nothing more than top pair, second kicker, and it wound up being the correct decision as he found his opponent had pure air. Gahan's stack was totaled to 10,300, scoring him the full double and leaving his opponent with a stack totaling one chip of the smallest denomination.

Welcome to Day 1c of the 2019 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship

The third and final starting flight of the 2019 MSPT Wisconsin State Poker Championship $1,100 Main Event commences today at 1 p.m. local time.

Yesterday’s Day 1b added 233 entries to Day 1a’s turnout of 120, meaning the two-day total of 353 has already surpassed the tournament’s $300,000 guaranteed prize pool, and the sky is the limit as Day 1c expected to be the largest flight of the three. As far as the happenings through the first two days, 42 players have put their names onto the Day 2 roster, and Day 1a chip leader Paul Camby (465,000) and Day 1b chip leader Umut Ozturk lead the way as the only two players over 400,000.

Day 1c will boast the same structure as the first two flights, with 15 levels of 40 minutes in length on the schedule and breaks after the completion of every three levels. Players receive 15,000 starting stacks with an optional $10 add-on for another 5,000. One reentry is allowed should things go south, and the late registration period will remain open until the beginning of Level 13.

Notable players such as Daniel Bekarac, Jason Seitz, Aaron Johnson, and Phil Mader have already unsuccessfully taken shots at advancing, and some or all of them are expected to be back in on the action for this final chance at finding a bag on Day 1c.

PokerNews will be on hand to report on all the action, so stay tuned to find out who else makes it through.
