Kaczka Misses

Harry Kaczka has just been eliminated. We caught him all in for right around 2,700 against the player to his left who had opted to stay pat.

Kaczka's opponent showed {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-} and he was drawing live with {7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Kazcka drew a {J-} and missed his draw, and he got up and left the tournament.

Short Stacked Lindgren Doubles

In a blind battle Erick Lindgren just managed to double up. He was all in for his final 1,375 and the action went down like this.

The player in the small blind drew one, and after checking his cards again Lindgren also decided to take one new card.

Erick Lindgren{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Opponent{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The small blind caught the {A-Spades} giving Lindgren a huge amount of outs to stay alive. Any ace, king, queen, jack, nine, eight, seven, six and three would improve his hand and he caught the {5-Diamonds}. Lindgren ended with a ten-perfect and doubled up.

Jacks and Tens

Ted Forrest three-bet to 2,300 from mid position after Brian Devonshire opened to 775 from early position. Devonshire called and drew one as Forrest stood pat. Both players checked and Forrest announced and opened {10-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}. It was good as Devonshire mucked.

One table over and one minute later, Greg Mueller was in a tricky spot. He raised from the button and called when the big blind shoved for another 6,275. The big blind stood pat and Mueller didn't know what to do.

"I have jack, ten, nine, eight; how bad is my situation?" asked Mueller.

"Do I draw one or two?" he continued.

Eventually he stood pat and opened {j-}{10-}{9-}{8-}{6-} and lost out to {j-}{10-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

"God, I knew it was close!" commented Mueller.

Two players at the same said they would've stood pat too.

Double For Donnie

Donnie Peters isn't having the fun day he was hoping for, but at least he's still alive. Peters has been fighting a nasty headache for most of the day, but he just found a way to double up and delay his bedtime some more.

After a raise to 625 Peters decided to move all in for his final 1,750 and his opponent quickly called.

"I'm gonna take a card," Peters' opponent said as he flashed a red jack.

Peters also took a card and we got to see the following showdown.

Donnie Peters{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
Opponent{7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}

Peters was in great shape when his opponent drew a {5-} and he flipped over his {4-} to win the pot. Both players paired up, but Peters' hand was still best.
