Monster Pot Results in Klodnicki's Elimination

Chris Klodnicki
Chris Klodnicki

We didn't catch the action on this monster pot until the turn when all the money went in. With a board reading {8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Spades}, Chris Klodnicki was all in holding {J-Diamonds}{K-Spades} against the {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} of La Sengphet. With the river card still to come, Sengphet's supports began calling for a deuce. Sure enough, the harmless {2-Diamonds} peeled off on the river and Klodnicki, who was clearly frustrated, made his exit from the WSOP-Circuit National Championship.

Whoops, Wrong Table

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Stanley Quinn, the winner of the WSOP-Circuit Harvey's Lake Tahoe Main Event, recently stood up from his spot in Seat 2 over on Table 24 to take a a brief break and wandered about the room. When he returned, he promptly took a seat to the left of the dealer. Allen Kessler and a few others at the table looked at him curiously before Quinn realized he had sat down in Seat 1 of Table 26. Quinn quietly rose, went over to the right table, and tried to hide his embarrassment; however, we saw it and have now entered it into the halls of poker lore.

Nguyen Sliding

Huy Nguyen raised to 5,500 from early position and received calls from Drazen Ilich in the hijack and Stanley Quinn in the big blind. When the flop came down {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, Quinn checked, Nguyen bet 7,500, and only Iliach made the call.

The two remaining players checked the {K-Spades} turn, leading to the {8-Diamonds} on the river. Nguyen checked, Ilich fired out 15,700, and Nguyen conceded the hand.

Klodnicki Triples

Action folded to Chris Klodnicki on the button and he moved all in for his last 33,900. Surprisingly, both Drazen Ilich and La Sengphet called from the small blind and big blind respectively. When the flop fell {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Ilich immediately moved all in for around 150,000, prompting Sengphet to tank-fold.

Ilich: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Klodnicki: {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Klodnicki was ahead with his ace but Ilich had a bevy of outs. The {A-Diamonds} turn took a few away, but it was the {4-Spades} on the river that allowed Klodnicki to triple up!
