From under the gun Omar Zazay opened to 17,000, a middle position player re-raised to 39,000 and Gannesh Letchumanan shoved from the small blind for 270,000. Zazay agonized over the screws being put to him. He tanked for a good while considering his action, asked for a count and asked what the average stack was.
After some thought he called, the middle position folded and the hands were tabled.
Zazay:
Letchumanan:
The board ran and Zazay was visibly upset over the ace falling on the turn.
We didn't catch the hand, but we can tell you that Michael "Carwash" Schneider has been eliminated from the WSOP Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event.
Tripp Kirk opened for 16,000 from middle position only to have Steve Melton move all in for around 70K from the button. The blinds got out of the way and after getting a count, Kirk made the call.
Showdown
Kirk
Melton
Melton was in a dominating spot and primed to double. The flop wasn't anything special, and neither was the turn. Kirk needed to spike a nine on the river to send Melton home, but it was not meant to be as the harmlessly appeared.
Seneca Easley opened the action with a raise to 16,000 and action folded around to the blinds. The small blind called, as well as, Jeff Fitzgerald in the big blind. The flop came , the blinds checked an Easley bet 30,000. The small blind folded and Fitzgerald raised to 65,000.
Easley wasted little time to move all in for 127,000 and Fitzgerald took a few moments to think about his action. He called after a short while and the hands were tabled.
Easley:
Fitzgerald:
The board ran runner-runner clubs with and Fitzgerald backdoored the win and sent Easley to the rail.
Terry Stuhldreher opened for 24,000 from early position and cleared the field all the way around to Tim "Killer" Killday in the big blind who promptly moved all in for 131,000. Stuhldreher gave it a few moments thought before making the call and it was off to the races.
Showdown
Stuhldreher
Killday
The flop was eventful as it gave Stuhldreher a set but Killday the nut straight. That meant the former needed to pair the board to eliminate his opponent, but it wasn't in the cards as the turned followed by the on the river.
