West Eliminates Opponent on Rollercoaster Runout

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Ron West
Ron West

On a flop of {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} with about 5,000 in the pot, a middle position player bet 2,400, Ron West raised to 6,000 on the button, and his opponent jammed for 28,300. West called.

Opponent: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Ron West: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs} hit the turn and the at-risk player did a small fist-pump upon making his flush, but the {9-Clubs} spiked the river to end that player's short-lived joy as he let out an expletive and made his exit from the table.

Meanwhile, West added the chips to his already growing stack and currently holds one of the bigger stacks in the room.

With roughly 8,000 in the pot on a completed board of {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Tim Reilly bet in the small blind and Harlen Miller raised to 10,000 in the big blind. Reilly thought about it and called.

Miller revealed {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight to claim the pot as Reilly mucked.

Miller got his biggest score last year in June when he took first place and won $367,801 in $1,100 No Limit Hold'em - MSPT Event (Event #41) during The Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series, and he hopes to continue adding chips on his way to a deep run in this MSPT event.
