Putt Finally Succumbs

Chad Holloway

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

New Zealand poker legend Graeme Putt had been nursing a short stack for much of the evening, and he finally committed his last 2,650 preflop against Casey Kastle.

"You're ahead," Putt admitted even before the cards were turned up. Sure enough, Kastle was.

Putt:
Kastle:

Putt had a kicker problem, and the flop did little to resolve it. The turn offered some chop options, but it didn't come to pass as the blanked on the river.

Reigning Aussie Millions champ Ami Barer opened for 600 under the gun and Dennis Huntly, who was seated to his direct left, made the call. The player in the small blind came along, as did Jeff Gross in the big, and four players saw a flop of .

Two checks saw Barer continue for 825, and Huntly responded by raising to right around 2,500. The small blind and Gross both folded, and then Barer quickly used both hands to move all in for 6,600. Huntly called.

Huntly had flopped top two pair, but it was no good as Barer had a set. Huntly needed a ten to eliminated a tough opponent, but that proved easier said than done as the blanked on the turn followed by the on the river.

"Nice hand, Ami," Huntly offered after the hand.

Easy Come, Easy Go

Chad Holloway

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Rossiter late registered this event at the last minute, and he didn't last very long. We missed his elimination hand, but a dealer was kind enough to inform us that Rossiter got his stack all in holding the only to run into an opponent's . There would be no tomfoolery, and Rossiter left just as quickly as he came.

Chad Holloway

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Both players then checked the river and Negreanu rolled over the for a pair of sevens. It was no good though as Ruha held an overpair with the .
