Shorr Coolered in 6th, Sands Out in 5th, Patgorski Still Crushing and More

Dave "Doc" Sands - 5th Place
Dave "Doc" Sands - 5th Place

Sands Reraised by Shorr - 6:38 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands raised to 67,000. Action folded to Shannon Shorr and he reraised to 167,000. Gabe Patgorski tanked for a minute in the big blind before folding and then Sands also folded. These two have been butting heads a couple of times and are surely familiar with each other being regulars in all of the biggest online tournaments.

Ship the Triple to Kohlberg - 6:41 PM

Curt Kohlberg didn't want to wait anymore and moved all in from the cutoff seat for 185,000. Gabe Patgorski called from the button. Dave "Doc" Sands took some time in the big blind and then moved all in. Patgorski folded to the reshove and Kohlberg had a chance to triple up if his {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} could out run the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} that Sands held.

The flop hit Kohlberg harder than it did Sands, coming down {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {6-Diamonds}. Sands lost the hand while Kohlberg tripled to 594,000.

Anderson Shoves By the Shorr - 6:45 PM

The table folded around to the blinds, and Jim Anderson moved all in from the small. In the big, Shannon Shorr gave a wide-eyed look, then rubbed his cards on the felt as he asked the poker gods for a big hand. It wasn't. He squeezed his hole cards quick, then dropped them back into the muck just as fast.

Shorr Shoves This Time - 6:47 PM

On the next hand, the table once again folded around to Jim Anderson, this time on the button. He opened the pot to 67,000, and Shannon Shorr three-bet all in from the small blind. Anderson didn't love it, but he called off his final 582,000 chips to put himself at risk. He would soon see some good news:

Anderson: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Shorr: {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

The flop was right in Anderson's wheelhouse as it came {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} to keep him from sweating too much. Shorr began to count out the losses as the {3-Hearts} turn left him drawing dead. He paid his debt after the {8-Diamonds} river filled out the board, doubling Anderson back into contention.

Put Anderson down for 1.218 million now, while Shorr falls below the million-chip mark once again.

Patgorski Fires the Turn - 6:54 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands raised to 67,000. Gabe Patgorski made the call from the big blind and the two players saw the flop come down {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Patgorski checked and Sands checked behind.

Fourth street was added and the players saw the {10-Diamonds} hit the board. Patgorski led with a bet of 70,000 and Sands mucked his hand.

Shorr Running Things - 7:01 PM

Shannon Shorr opened two consecutive pots to 72,000, and both of his raises got through. Add 138,000 to his chip stack.

Shannon Shorr Eliminated in 6th Place ($100,151) - 7:08 PM

Action folded to Shannon Shorr on the button. He raised to 72,000. Gabe Patgorski was in the big blind and reraised, making it 207,000 to go. Shorr tanked for a minute and then announced that he was all in. Patgorski snap-called and tabled the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. Shorr had run into a brick wall with his {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Patgorski stayed in front. Shorr needed a jack or running straight cards to stay alive or this massive pot was going to go the way of Patgorski.

The turn brought paint, but it was the wrong paint as the {K-Spades} fell. The river brought more paint with the {K-Clubs}, but once again not what Shorr was looking for. He hit the rail in sixth place for slightly more than $100,000. He was all in for about 730,000 total and Patgorski was able to add that to his stack and shoot up to 3.65 million.

Sands Squeezes All In - 7:17 PM

Gabe Patgorski button raised to 60,000 to open the pot, and Bernard Lee made the call next door. In the big blind, Dave "Doc" Sands squeezed all in for close to 900,000 chips. Patgorski asked for the approximate count before ducking out of the way, but Lee quickly called to put himself at risk. Cards up, gents:

Lee: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Sands: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} flop gave Sands a freeroll to double up, but the turn {Q-Hearts} and river {A-Clubs} ensured a split pot as the two men chop up Patgorski's raise plus the antes.

Kohlberg Shoves - 7:25 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands raised from the button to 60,000, the minimum amount. Curt Kohlberg moved all in from the big blind for 538,000. After Sands got an approximate count he folded and Kohlberg added some chips.

Beware of Patgorski - 7:26 PM

Jim Anderson opened to 70,000 from the button, and Gabe Patgorski called from the big blind. On the {6-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop, Patgorski led out with 105,000 chips, and Anderson quickly surrendered.

Patgorski Check-Raises Sands on Flop - 7:30 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands raised from under the gun to 60,000. Gabe Patgorski made the call from the small blind and Bernard Lee folded in the big blind.

After the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}, Patgorski checked. Sands fired 87,000 and then Patgorski tanked for a couple minutes. He got a count on Sands' remaining stack before he raised to 182,000. Sands mucked his hand and Patgorski won the pot. He moved to right about four million in chips with that pot.

Kohlberg Raise-Folds - 7:33 PM

Curt Kohlberg opened to 80,000 before Bernard Lee moved all in for 567,000 from the small blind. Kohlberg thought it over briefly before giving the pot to Lee.

Sands Folds River to Anderson - 7:40 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands limped in from the small blind and Jim Anderson checked his option in the big blind. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and both players checked.

The turn brought the {K-Spades} to pair the board and Sands bet the minimum, 30,000. Anderson made the call and the two saw the {6-Diamonds} fall on the river. Sands fired another min-bet for 30,000. Anderson thought for a few moments before raising to 160,000. Sands tanked for a couple minutes and then folded. Right after he folded a moan of "Aaawwwhhhhhh!" followed by a "That was dumb!" came from someone behind the curtain.

You Can't Win 'Em All - 7:45 PM

Jim Anderson opened to 70,000 before Gabe Patgorski three-bet him to 206,000. When it came back to Anderson, he double-checked his hole cards and announced an all in.

The fold from Patgorski came rather quickly, the first pot he's dropped in quite some time.

Dave "Doc" Sands Eliminated in 5th Place ($131,299) - 7:49 PM

Dave "Doc" Sands was on the button and moved all in for 409,000. Action folded to Curt Kohlberg in the big blind and he looked at the first one. By his reaction, you could tell it was good. He then peeked at the second and snap-called, tabling the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Sands turned up the {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Sands only found a pair of tens, keeping him behind. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and without a queen or a ten, Sands was going to be the fifth-place finisher.

The river completed the board with the {8-Hearts} and that was it. Sands hit the rail in fifth place for $131,299. The four remaining moved up to a payday of nearly $175,000.
