Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em

Day 4 Started

Yesterday, Day 3 of Event: 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em came and went as the final 30 players of a 1,394 field was reduced down to just two—Greg Ostrander and Jackie Glazier. Both players will return today with Glazier holding a 9,480,000 to 3,070,000 chip lead over Ostrander.

Last night’s final elimination occurred after Paul Vas Nunes got into a preflop raising war with Glazier. Vas Nunes called an all-in shove of Glazier and his {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} was bested by Glazier's {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} after she turned an unbeatable flush for the knockout.

Will Australia’s Glazier become the first woman to win an open World Series of Poker Event since Vanessa Selbst, who took down a $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event back in 2008? Or will Ostrander come from behind and claim his first WSOP gold bracelet?

First Blood to Glazier

Greg Ostrander raised to 250,000 from the button and received a call from Jackie Glazier in the big blind. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet of 400,000 on the {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Diamonds} flop before both players checked the {K-Spades} turn.

When the {5-Spades} appeared on the river, Glazier led out for 600,000 and Ostrander called. Glazier rolled over {K-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for two pair, which was good as Ostrander simply mucked.

Ostrander Moves All In

Greg Ostrander
Greg Ostrander

Jackie Glazier raised to 250,000 on the button and Greg Ostrander called from the big blind. The {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop saw Ostrander checked, Glazier bet 500,000, and Ostrander move all in for 1,595,000 total. Glazier made the call and didn't like what she saw.

Showdown
Glazier: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Ostrander: {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}

Glazier's pocket pair had been cracked as Ostrander flopped trip sixes. Neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor {K-Hearts} river would change a thing, and Ostrander received a much-needed double.

Three for Ostrander; One for Glazier

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

In the last four hand, Greg Ostrander won three in a row. In the first, he raised to 250,000 on the button and Glazier folded. In the second, Glazier gave him a walk, and in the third, Ostrander raised to 300,000 on the button and Glazier gave it up.

In the next hand, Glazier raised to 250,000 on the button, Ostrander called, and the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Ostrander checked and then folded when Glazier bet 350,000.

Glazier's Lead Disappearing

Jackie Glazier was on the button and she raised to 250,000. Greg Ostrander responded by three-betting 600,000, Glazier pushed back to the tune of 1.5 million, and Ostrander simply moved all in for 2,665,000 more.

Glazier seemed a bit stressed by the push and considered it for a bit before finally releasing her hand.

Glazier Gets Some Back

After Greg Ostrander raised to 250,000 on the button, Jackie Glazier called and then checked the {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop. Ostrander kept the pressure on with a bet of 350,000, but Glazier responded by check-raising to 800,000. Ostrander contemplated the decision for a brief moment and then released his hand.
