Rothfolk Gets Paid Off On River

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The board read {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Dan Blakeman checked. Andrew Rothfolk dipped into his stack and came out with a bet of 206,000. Blakeman tanked for a bit before finally announcing a call.

Rothfolk rolled over {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a rivered pair of kings. Blakeman flung pocket nines into the muck and Rothfolk dragged in the pot. He's now sitting on about 2.1 million in chips.

Action Slowed

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We're still here, there's just not much happening. A lot of raise and take poker with very few flops being seen. It's been a bit since our last big confrontation and one is certainly brewing on the horizon.

James Barger Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,537)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Mark Maletic opened to 30,000 and Andrew Rothfolk flat called. It folded all of the way around to the table to James Barger who shipped all in for an unknown amount. Maletic tank-folded and Rothfolk snapped him off.

Rothfolk: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Barger: {K-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Barger was crushing Rothfolk but that all changed when a flop of {5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} fell. Barger now needed to catch one of the two remaining kings or running cards to stay alive. Unfortunately for Barger, the turn and river were the {3-Hearts} and the {8-Clubs}, sealing his fate as our 15th place finisher.

Russell Bryant Eliminated in 16th Place ($10,330)

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jerry Barlow opened to 37,000 from under the gun. It folded to Russell Bryant who moved all in on the button for about 120,000. Pedro Rios moved all in over the top from the big blind and Barlow folded.

Bryant: {A-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Rios: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The board brought {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Rios was able to win with three of a kind treys with the ace-king kickers. Bryant, on the other hand, will collect $10,330 for his efforts.

Barger Rising

Level 24 : 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante

James Barger was just hanging for dear life and now he's slowly on his way to building back his stack. Immediately after being crippled he tripled up while holding {Q-}{10-} by making a straight against two opponents.

Two hands later he was in a blind versus blind confrontation with Ryan Stevenson. Stevenson held {Q-}{J-} against Barger's {A-}{J-}. The board ran out {j-}{8-}{6-}{9-}[5x} and Barger was once again able to double up. He's currently sitting on roughly 215,000.
