The Jasons Battle

donpeters

Jason DeWitt arrived a little late and was still stacking up his massive amount of chips when Jason "JCarver" Somerville pumped up the action to 28,000 from the button after action folded him to. DeWitt made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Spades}

and DeWitt checked over to Somerville. A moment of thought ensued before Somerville fire out 35,000. DeWitt called.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts}

and DeWitt checked again, giving the option to Somerville. Somerville checked behind.

The river fell the {8-Spades}

and DeWitt checked once more. Somerville paused for a few moments, but then tapped the table. DeWitt tabled {A-Hearts}

and Somerville mucked his hand.

DeWitt - 1,645,000
Somerville - 256,000

Twice the Chips for Kochelaevskiy

[user75032]

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy has moved in a few times already today. He moved in again, for 172,000 total, after Alex Millar opened for 30,000. Millar got an exact count before saying, "Alright. Call." His {A-Diamonds}

was ahead of Kochelaevskiy's {Q-Spades}

, but Kochelaevskiy paired tens on a board of {J-Hearts}

to win the pot, much to the delight of a few railbirds who are flapping a Russian flag.
