We arrived at the table to witness Blair Rodman announcing a raise to 24,000 on sixth street; this constituted a three-bet. Topias Wahlbeck thought about it for a while but folded. Dennis Seagle made the call.
Rodman, with just 7,000 behind, checked on seventh street and Seagle opted to check behind. When they turned the cards over neither of them could make a low. Seagle had made two pair, deuces and fives, but Rodman made two pair, aces and queens, and scooped the pot.
Rodman roughly doubled to 110,000. Seagle dropped to 83,000.
The plan is to play the next two levels out and then call it a night, returning tomorrow with however many players we have left. We have 32 players left right now, so we're guessing that we won't make it as far as a final table tonight.
Andre Boyer has been eliminated at the hands of Chrstopher Tryba, trip queens no good against the wheel which scooped the pot. Tryba is now up to 110,000.
Scott Lake has broken into the top five and now has around 165,000 in chips. "You should write that one up," he beamed. "It was a big one." Unfortunately, all I saw was Lake picking up the pot with the wheel and cracking a smile as wide as the Amazon Room. His two opponents didn't share his delight.
Campbell was the aggressor all the way as far as we could see, and Troy just called all the way down. When they turned the cards over, though, Campbell's king high and eight-seven low couldn't compete with Troy's pair of sixes and eight-six low.
"I almost raised," Troy said as he scooped the pot to put him up to a shade over 200,000. Campbell dropped out of the chip lead and on to a still hefty 182,500.
"I hate just blinding away," grumbled Dutch Boyd several minutes previous.
A few hands later and he was all in on third street and praying for a double through. Fortunately, the Poker Gods heard his call:
Dutch Boyd: //
Regis Burlot: //
Aces full means Boyd is now back up to 35,000, whilst Burlot plummets down to 80,000.
"You know, I can see it all happening," he added with a distant look in his eye that I have quickly become accustomed to with Boyd. "I'm going to have over 100,000 in 15 minutes time."
