Dropping Out of the Race

In the cutoff, Jerry Martin raises to 32,000 and David Kopacz re-raises two huge gray 5,000 stacks. Jerry folds {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and David shows {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. It would have been a race situation, but it didn't happen.

Rising from the Ashby

In the cutoff, Len Ashby open-shoves for 44,000 total. Samuel Oberlin calls in the big blind.

Len: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Sam: {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Board: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Len doubles up to 94,000 and Sam is down to 235,000.

Breakfast with the King

In the cutoff, Jerry Martin raises to 32,000 and Samuel Oberlin re-raises to 90,000. Jerry is all in for 182,000 total.

"This is a big decision," Jerry says. "You sure you want to lose that many more chips? I came here to gamble."

Sam folds and Jerry shows a {K-Clubs}. Jerry's up to 280,000 and Sam is down to 250,000.

Jamin Stokes Eliminated in 6th ($23,844)

Under the gun, Jamin Stokes raises to 20,000 and David Kopacz re-raises to 58,000. Jamin three-bets it all in and David calls.

Jamin: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
David: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The board is {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Jamin is down to his last 43,000. David has 420,000.

On the next hand, Jamin is all in under the gun plus one for his last 42,000 (after putting in a 1,000 ante) and David calls from the small blind.

Jamin: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
David: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Board: {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Jamin is out and David climbs to 480,000.

Derek Whelan Eliminated in 7th ($19,870)

In early position, Samuel Oberlin raises to 20,000 and Derek Whelan calls all in for 14,000. Jerry Martin calls the 20,000.

The side pots check down the board of {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Sam shows {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} to Jerry's {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Derek's {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Derek is out and Sam wins the whole pot.

Whelan Almost Out

In the cutoff, Samuel Oberlin raises to 20,000 and Derek Whelan calls. The flop is {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Derek checks. Samuel bets 25,000 and Derek raises all in. Samuel insta-calls with {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Derek has {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

The turn is {Q-Hearts} and Derek picks up more outs, but the river of {2-Diamonds} is none of them. Whelan is down to 20,000. He folds his small blind on the next hand and has just 15,000 left. Samuel has 298,000.
