Hal Havlisch Doubles Up

Entering today as our short stack, Hal Havlisch had to win the first hand he played and he did just that. He raised with {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Michael Graffeo raised enough to set him all in. Graffeo had {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and although Graffeo picked up a diamond draw after the {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} came out, the river was the {Q-Hearts} and Havlisch doubled up.

Chop It Up

Limit Hold'Em isn't a split-pot game, but we just had one between Justin Pechie and William Jensen. After the {4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop Jensen bet and Pechie called, and then Jensen raised Pechie after the {3-Spades} turned. The {5-Clubs} on the river put a straight on the board and the players checked it down. The straight saved Pechie, whose pocket tens would otherwise have lost to Jensen's pocket queens.

Robert Pacleb Doubles Up

After Saif Ahmad raised to 20K Robert Pacleb called in the big blind. The flop came {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Pacleb check-called Ahmad's 10K bet. He also check-called after the {8-Clubs} on the turn and when the {2-Diamonds} arrived on the river Pacleb bet the last of his chips. Ahmad called and found that Pacleb had been sitting on {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}. Saif mucked his cards and Robert doubled up.

Slow Start

At least at the start of today's final table a raise is usually good enough to take down the pot. The only big confrontations we've seen so far involved the two short stacks and a big chopped pot.

Gerald Kane Down To a Chip and a Chair

And we mean that literally. After calling William Jensen's raise before the flop Kane called Jensen's bets on the flop, turn and river and with the board reading {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} Jensen turned over pocket Kings. "I can't beat Kings," Kane said, and tossed his cards in the muck. And then he picked up the single, solitary chip left to him and held it up to his friends in the crowd. "I still have one left!" he said.
