Holloway on Fumes

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Chad Holloway was down his last 1,000 after losing with {9-}{9-} to the {a-}{k-} of Eddie Blumenthal. He got that money in preflop against two players who began side action on a board of {8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. There was a bet of 10,500 and a call, then a bet of 26,500 on the {2-Spades} river.

The bettor showed {q-}{10-} after the other player folded but Holloway had him outkicked with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Herstein and Jeremy Brown Survive

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jeremy Brown shoved for 19,500 over a player on his right who jammed for 13,000. The big blind called with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and that was fine by Brown since his {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} was in great shape with the third player turning over {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

The board ran {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Brown scooped up all the money to get to a healthy stack.

At another table, Gary Herstein jammed for 19,000 and an early opener called with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Herstein had {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and paired up on the {7-}{6-}{a-}{5-}{4-} board to double.

Pupillo Rolling on Second Shell

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Action was heavy on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} as the small blind bet 7,500, the big blind made it 21,500, and Nick Pupillo shoved all in from middle position for 79,500. The small blind waved his hands in consternation approximately 20 times before folding. The big blind snap-mucked.

Pupillo swept up the sizable pot without showing, and his second shell has gotten off to a fantastic start as he's well into six figures after less than an hour.

Reg Powell

Reg Powell bet 4,500 from early position on {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Spades} and an opponent in the small blind called. On the {8-Spades} river the small blind led out 7,500 into about 20,000. Powell called after about 30 seconds.

The small blind showed {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a flush, and Powell tossed his {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} in the middle in disgust.
