Rho, Rho, Rho Your Boat

[user46392]

Peter Rho and Jim Geary got involved, making it all the way down an {A-Spades}

board. Rho bet 320,000 in the river and Geary made a tentative call -- but mucked when Rho turned over {Q-Hearts}

for a full house.

All Friendly, Like

[user46392]

Our first family pot -- no raising at all before all three players saw the {2-Hearts}

flop. Peter Rho checked to Geary who bet 125,000, and he was called by Anthony Harb. Rho passed.

Geary checked the {9-Clubs}

turn, but then moved all in to a 200,000 bet from Harb. A swift pass, and the chips were his.

Adam Adler Eliminated in 4th Place ($161,768)

[user46392]

Anthony Harb raised, and this time Adam Adler reraised. Back to Harb, and he announced all in to cover Adler. Adler called all in for a little over 2,000,000, and found that he was dominated.

Adler: {K-Diamonds}

Harb:

Board: a completely blank-filled {7-Hearts}

Ladies and gentlemen, we are three-way.

Harb Work

[user46392]

Harb and Rho got to the turn of a {4-Hearts}

board, and Harb bet out 200,000. Rho made it 500,000, though, and Harb passed.

Adler Takes a Hit

[user46392]

Anthony Harb has taken down a 1.6 million pot -- Adler called his 400,000 bet on the river of the {8-Clubs}

board, and then mucked when Harb turned over {Q-Spades}

. Adler down to perhaps 1,800,000.

Rho's Awake!

[user46392]

Peter Rho's perked up. After taking down a pot a few minutes ago, reraising Jim Geary and making him fold preflop, he saw a {J-Clubs}

flop with Anthony Harb. They both checked it, and Harb checked the {3-Spades}

turn too, then called 160,000 from Rho. Harb checked the {9-Hearts}

river too, and then passed when Rho bet 200,000.

Geary Doubles Through Adler

[user46392]

Down to 545,000, Geary shoved from the small blind to a button raise from Adam Adler. A moment's thought, a call, and a showdown for Geary's tournament life.

Geary: {K-Spades}

Adler:

Board:

Thus Geary is back up to over a million. It's become a real rollercoaster for him...
