Little Post-Dinner Rush for Garcia

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Action folded to John Dolan in the hijack seat, and he raised all in for 10,100. Cord Garcia was in the small blind and made the call. Everyone else folded, and it was Garcia's {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} up against the {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Dolan.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, and Dolan was eliminated.

On the next hand, Matt Lapossie raised from the under-the-gun position to 2,000. One player called in middle position, and then Garcia, who was on the button this hand, reraised to 7,000. Everyone folded, and Garcia won the pot.

De Silva Accidentally Runs It Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in early position raised to 1,600 and three players called before the action fell on Upeshka De Silva. With most of his stack in his hand, he reached out and called by dropping two yellow T1,000 chips before he pulled back the rest of his stack. A player at the table and the dealer pointed out that he had to put the money he had in his hand into the pot, since the rules of the venue state that the betting line must be enforced. Because he had all but 2,000 of his chips in his hand when he called and they all went over the line, they were all considered part of his bet, and thus a raise.

The original raiser then shoved all in for 11,800. Two of the callers folded and the action folded to the player on De Silva's right, who called. De Silva put in his remaining 2,000 chips and was all in.

"I think this was the better play anyway, I almost shoved in that spot," said De Silva, who turned over {k-}{5-}. He was up against {a-}{q-} and {7-}{7-}.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and De Silva won the main pot bringing his stack up to 17,500. On the very next hand, there was a raise and a call before De Silva shoved all in, this time on purpose. Both players folded and he moved up to 22,000.

Lapossie Busts Steven

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

On the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, Matt Lapossie checked to Brandon Steven, who bet 2,500. Lapossie check-raised to 20,000, and that sent Steven into the tank for a bit. After a minute or so, Steven reraised all in for only a little over the 20,000. Lapossie quickly called the extra little bit with the {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}, and he was ahead of Steven's {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and the river was the {A-Hearts}. Lapossie's jacks stayed in the lead to win him the pot and send Steven to the rail.
