Gee Hangs In

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Steve Gee, who started the day with an above average stack, has dwindled down and was just allin for his last chips in a three way pot. On the river the board looked like {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs} | {A-Diamonds} | {J-Diamonds} and Tom Schneider and another player were involved in a battle for the side pot. Schneider check-called on the turn and river but had to muck when his opponent showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Gee was luckier though as he could table {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a flopped set which gave him the main pot.

Hawrilenko Walks Into Kings

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

We missed the precise preflop action but it might have been fourbetted by the player in the under-the-gun position. What we are sure of is that Hawrilenko check-called every street on a {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} | {2-Diamonds} | {Q-Clubs} board. We are also a hundred percent certain that the under-the-gun player showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} which made Hawrilenko muck.

Corkins Gives Chips to Banfield

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

On a {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop two players checked to Melanie Banfield who bet. The short stack and Corkins made the call and they saw a turn: {Q-Diamonds}. The shortstack put 2,000 of his total 2,100 stack in the middle and Corkins raised it up immediately. Banfield made the call and the short stack committed his last 100 as well. {10-Diamonds} on the river and Corkins bet out for the last time. Banfield made the call and Corkins showed his {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. That was no good, Banfield tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and scooped the pot, eliminating the short stack in the process.

Froehlich and Zipperer Trending Up

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

A short-stacked player was all in and at risk with {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} against Eric Froehlich, who held pocket fours. The board did not help the player, and he was eliminated.

Froehlich now sits with 55,000 chips, while his next-door neighbor John Zipperer appears to be our chip leader with 105,000.

Barnburner

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Sam Barnhart
Sam Barnhart

There was a raise in early position, Matt Hawrilenko three-bet in middle position, and Sam Barnhart four-bet near the button. The early position raiser tanked for a bit before calling, and Hawrilenko called as well.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}, and the action checked to Barnhart who bet. The early position player called all in for 500, Hawrilenko called, and the turn brought the {2-Diamonds}. Hawrilenko check-folded to a bet.

Barnhart showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} for a set of aces.

"I'm drawing dead," the player said, keeping his cards hidden.

The dealer shrugged, them delivered the river card - the {a-Diamonds}. The entire table erupted with laughter, even the player who was eliminated, and Barnhart was shipped the pot.
