On a board with more than 10,000 in the pot, Rob Perelman was faced with a decision of 6,150 from an opponent. After a few moments, Perelman re-raised all in quickly getting his opponent to give it up.
In late position, Bernard Lee opened the pot to 750, and the table folded to the small blind. The gentleman there put out 1,400 chips, then started pulling some of them back, apparently trying to make change for a call. Lee called the floor, and it was ruled a raise. The small blind let a look of deep frustration cross his face, and Lee promptly stuck another 6,000 chips in the pot on a four-bet. His opponent five-bet shoved for about his starting stack, and Lee made the quick call to put him to the test.
Showdown
Lee:
Opponent:
Oops.
The flop was money in the bank for Lee, and the turn ended any potential runner-runner drama right there. Lee earns the knockout, pushing his stack up to a healthy 68,000 in the process.
On a flop, action was checked to Bernard Lee and he bet 1,025. His lone opponent called to see the turn and checked once again. Lee bet 1,650 and his opponent tagged along. When the hit the river, Lee's opponent bet 2,200 and was quickly met by a call from Lee.
The space formerly occupied by Chris Tryba is now vacant of both he and his chips. A quick glance around the room turned up nothing, and the missing-in-action Tryba is presumed busto.
Under the gun, Shawn Busse limped in, and the player in the cutoff seat followed suit. Both blinds came along as well, and it was a cheap four-way flop.
The dealer spread out , and action checked around to the cutoff. He flicked out a bet of 1,000, and this time only Busse came along with the call. That led them heads-up to the turn, and Busse check-called another 2,000 to see the fill out the board on fifth street. When Busse checked one last time, his opponent took his cue to bet 7,000 more chips. The call represented half of Busse's remaining stack, and he spent about two minutes considering before splashing the checks into the pot.
"Straight flush," came the call from his opponent as his hit the felt. The table reacted with awe -- all except Shawn Busse who quietly mucked and broke down his remaining 7,050 chips with just a hint of a scowl on his face.
