Glantz's Tournament Life at Stake

Jennifer Harman raised from the cutoff only to have Matt Glantz three-bet all in from the button for his last 1,800. The big blind call, as did Harman, and the flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. Both active players checked, as they did on the {10-Hearts} turn and {7-Clubs} river.

Harman showed {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, the big blind flipped {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Glantz revealed his {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. It was a three-way chop, but it did bumped Glantz up a little to 2,000.

Three Players and a lot of Betting

We just happened to be walking past Table 290 when we noticed that the betting had been maxed preflop between Shannon Shorr in the cut-off, the Button, and Isaac Haxton in the small blind.

{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} all made for a scary flop, but none of the players seemed to be afraid. After Haxton checked, Shorr bet, the Button raised, and then Haxton re-raised, Shorr flat called, the Button then raised again maxing out the betting. Shorr and Haxton both made the call to see a turn.

The {3-Hearts} didn't slow anyone down as Haxton bet, Shorr made the call, the Button raised, and Haxton flatted. When the action got back to Shorr, he raised and both other players called.

A river {5-Spades} came with a bet from Shorr, a fold from Haxton, and a call from the Button. Shorr flipped over {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the nut flush and the winning hand.

Mueller Headed in the Wrong Direction

In a blind-versus-blind confrontation, Greg Mueller raised from the small and received a call from the player in the big. Both players checked the {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, inspiring Mueller to bet out when the dealer burned and turned the {J-Hearts}. The big blind called the bet, as he did on the {8-Diamonds} turn.

Mueller showed {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} for jacks and eights, but it was no good against the {K-Spades}{2-Clubs} of his opponent.

Alaei Out

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

When we reached Table 282, the board read {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and Daniel Alaei was heads up with an opponent. The two got three bets in, and the turn brought the {10-Spades}. Alaei checked to his opponent who bet, and Alaei folded, dropping his stack to just 4,800 chips.

Alaei couldn't bring his stack back up, busting a few hands later.

Martin Moving On Up

After a series of bets Jesse Martin had his opponent all-in on a flop of {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Martin was behind as his {Q-}{9-} was just a pair of nines compared to his opponent's {J-}{10-} for a pair of tens.

There were still two more cards to go, the first one was great for Martin's opponent as it came off a {7-Clubs} giving him a straight, and taking away some of Mueller's outs. The river however was devastating as a {10-Diamonds} hit giving Martin a higher straight.

Kings are Good

We found our way to Table 278 as a large pot of chips was brewing. Brain Tate from the under the gun position fired out 2,000 into his opponent with a board reading {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Tate's opponent quickly made the call and both players saw a {5-Hearts} peel off the deck for the river.

Tate again bet out 2,000 and his opponent called. Tate showed {K-}{K-} and his opponent threw his cards in the muck, and was quite unhappy with the hand's result as he put his hands on his head in disbelief.
