HillKerby

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

In order to accommodate for the demand of Saturday's Day 1d flight of the MSPT Black Hawk $360 Regional, tomorrow's 10 a.m. $80 Mega Satellite has seen a change in structure.

The tournament will now be played as an "Ironman" event, meaning there will be no breaks. Levels will last 10 minutes instead of the normal 20 in order to have the tournament finish around noon, when the $360 Regional is set to begin.

All players should be aware of this change as to not be surprised when they come register. Furthermore, everybody wishing to play on Day 1d is advised to come early as there is a legitimate chance that registration lines will make it out the door. Registration begins at 10 a.m., so be sure to plan accordingly.

Pallath Coolers an Opponent

HillKerby

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

A raised pot preflop saw all of the chips go into the middle on a flop of with Joey Pallath in middle position having an opponent in the small blind at risk with a slightly-covering stack.

All-In Player:
Joey Pallath:

The small blind had flopped bottom two pair but had run it into Pallath's aces, leaving him in need of running cards to quads or Broadway for a chop. The turn made neither of those possible and the river unnecessarily improved him further to a full house.
