Jejelowo Busts Ramage in Huge Pot

In a battle of the blinds, AJ Jejelowo kicked off the action with a raise to 4,200 from the small. Grayson Ramage raised to 10,300 from the large, but Jejelowo came right back over the top with a four-bet to about 28,000. Ramage five-bet shoved for 82,500 after the dealer told Jejelowo the exact amount, he called.

Ramage: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Jejelowo: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop was a pretty good one for Ramage, giving him extra outs. However, the {7-Spades} hit the turn and locked up pot for Jejelowo. The {8-Spades} was merely a formality as Ramage graciously wished the table good luck as he exited.

Lawrence Jacobs came in raising to 4,000, and Brian Senie and Dan Heimiller both called in position. From the button, Chad Brown squeezed in a reraise to 20,000, and Jacobs and Heimiller would fold. Senie, though, reraised all in over the top, and Brown called off the remaining ~70,000 of his chips to put himself at risk. He was racing.

Showdown
Senie: {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}
Brown: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Brown needed to find a card, but he could not catch up as the board ran {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} to send him on his way. With that pot, Senie jumps out to a big chip lead with 370,000 chips piled in front of him.

Dan Heimiller's chair-swinging days are over. We missed the hand that did him in, but we did see him collect his possessions and walk out the double doors.

Prescott Dead to One Out

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

In early position, Brian Senie opened to 4,000, and Shannon Shorr called from the small blind. In the big, Allie Prescott squeezed all in for 35,100, and Senie made the call with his huge stack. Shorr got the message and ducked out, and the cards were on their backs with Prescott at risk.

Showdown
Senie: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Prescott: {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}

The {A-Spades} {3-Clubs} {6-Clubs} flop was about as bad as it gets for Prescott, leaving him dead to the nine of diamonds alone. The turn {J-Spades} was a blank. The river, however, just happened to be the {9-Diamonds}! One out is all Prescott needs, and he rivers his set to double up to about 80,000.

Senie could afford that hit; he's still got 339,500 chips left.

Lawrence Jacobs opened to 4,000, and Kyle Bowker three-bet to 11,000 total. Jacobs made the call, and off they went to the flop. It came {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, and both players checked to the {5-Hearts} turn. Jacobs made the first bet, sliding out a stack of 20,000. He and Bowker got it in right there, and Bowker's {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} was in the lead. Jacobs tabled {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for the big draw, and he managed to catch up with the {K-Clubs} river.

Bowker drops the pot on the final card, slipping all the way down to just 17,000. Jacobs has doubled, stacking up about 120,000 now.

Brecher Bolstered

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On a {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} flop, Matt Waxman check-called a bet of 7,000 from Steve Brecher, and he check-called another 13,000 after the {6-Spades} turn. The river came the {2-Clubs}, and Brecher put out a healthy bet of 30,000 after a third check in front of him. Waxman spent nearly all of eternity in the tank, but he eventually settled on a reluctant call.

Brecher had the goods. The second-nuts in fact. He showed up {Q-} {Q-} for top set, and it was easily good enough to take down the pot. It moves Brecher up to 180,000 or so, while Waxman tumbles back to about 45,000.
