From the small blind, Tom Masinter raised to 50,000, and Donna Jetter announced, "Raise," from the big blind. When she did, Masinter moved all in, but Jetter had not yet committed herself to a reraise amount. She put in the minimum 84,000, then asked how much more she'd need to call. It was another 154,000 to see the cards, but Jetter tanked and folded after some debate. She's still got about 215,000 to work with.
From the button, Michael Traylor raised to 40,000. After Grant Hillman three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind and the big blind folded, Traylor open-folded the

From the cutoff seat, Dan Black announced a raise. A full 45 seconds went by before he slid out 95,000. Everyone folded and Black won the pot.
First into the pot, Leroy Patitz stuck his last 65,000 chips to put himself all in. Ned Mantua called next door, and Tom Masinter called from the big blind as well, creating live action between the two of them.
There was no action, however, as the two men checked down the 
board. Mantua showed up 
first, and it was the winner. Masinter's 
was no good, and Patitz's could not connect with the board to keep him alive. He's out in 11th place, good for $6,451.
