Glycenfer Folds Out Father and Son

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ian Glycenfer was in early position and opened the action with a raise to 1,300. He was called by father Kevin Conolty in middle position and son Cannon Conolty in the hijack, and the three saw the flop come .

Glycenfer made a continuation-bet of 1,300 and Kevin Conolty folded. Cannon Conolty called to take action heads up to the turn . Glycenfer continued with a second barrel for 3,700 and Conolty stuck around.

The river fell and Glycenfer emptied the clip, betting 5,100. Conolty went into the tank for over a minute and then let his hand go, resulting in the pot being sent Glycenfer's way.

Eris Doubles Through Meyer

HillKerby

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

There was around 10,000 in the middle on a flop of with three-way action between Mert Eris in the small blind, Caleb Meyer who was under the gun, and Greg Gius in the cutoff.

Eris made a bet of 6,100 and Meyer called to send Gius into the tank. He thought for a few moments and then folded, bringing the turn .

Action was then heads up as turn dropped and Eris announced he was all in. The total to call was 13,000 and Meyer thought for close to a minute before tossing in matching chips.

Mert Eris:
Caleb Meyer:

Eris' top pair was ahead of Meyer's pair of fours with an open-ended straight draw but he would need to fade a decent chunk of outs to stay alive. The river complied with his needs and improved him to trips along the way, scoring him the double to bring him to nearly two starting stacks.

Kings Take it All

HillKerby

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Caleb Meyer had opened from early position and was three-bet by the cutoff before Greg Gius cold four-bet all in out of the small blind. The big blind also went all in, as did Meyer, sending the cutoff into the tank for about a minute before he folded, announcing he had folded two queens as the other three hands were tabled.

Greg Gius:
Big Blind:
Caleb Meyer:

The board ran out to leave Meyer's kings on top and earn him the double knockout and all of the chips in both pots.

Keeline Out and Back In

HillKerby

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

All of the chips got into the middle preflop between Phil Kiphardt and Ben Keeline, both of whom were in middle position. Keeline was all in for his tournament life.

Ben Keeline:
Phil Kiphardt:

Keeline saw a queen come on the flop to give him a little hope but that was the closest he would get as the turn and river completed the runout, resulting in him heading straight to the registration desk to reenter as the pot was sent Kiphardt's way.
