Michael Foley Gets the Rest of Chris Staats' Stack
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Chris Staats had been struggling to get much going today. Earlier he was convinced that his neighbor to the right, James Mordue was going to take all his chips, shortly after losing with 
to Mordue's .
Staats was all in with one player calling behind him. Staats had just 3,975 and Michael Foley shoved over the top for 30,750 total. The original caller folded what appeared to be pocket tens and Foley showed . Staats had 
but couldn't connect with the flop or the turn and was drawing dead to the river.

Ray Qartomy is on at least his second bullet today and on the very first hand coming back he was all in with a shove behind and Justin Kruger was in the tank.

The flop was 
and Kruger bet 7,200. Both players called. The turn was the and Kruger bet 14,000. Qartomy called for slightly less and the player on the button shoved all in. That's what put Kruger in the tank and he would eventually fold pocket aces.
Qartomy showed a full house with 
and was against trip sevens, his opponent held 
for trips. Qartomy held through the river and won the pot for a nice double up and then some on his first hand this bullet.
