Cutting It Close

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

The players listed below have recently arrived and taken their seats for a day of poker fun. There is about 25 minutes left before registration closes, so some more familiar faces are bound to show up.

Monsacre Doubles

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We arrived at the table on the river with the board reading {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Julie Monsacre had pushed all in for 3,325, and her opponent was in the tank. After thinking for a minute, he counted out his chips and made the call. Monsacre hesitantly turned over her hand, as if she were unsure if it were good, and showed {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Her opponent mucked, and Monsacre raked in the pot and doubled up.

Coughlin Making A Statement

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We came up on a hand where they were counting out the stacks of the players. The board read {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Neil Coughlin had {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a straight while busting his opponent who had kings.

While we were getting his chip count, which was significant for this stage of the tournament, Coughlin, the small blind, called a 250 raise from the under the gun player. The middle and late position players came along as well. The flop came {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Coughlin checked to the preflop raiser who bet 550. It folded back to Coughlin, who moved all in, for 19,500. It looked like the UTG player was hesitant to fold but eventually did just that.

When asked for his name, Coughlin sort of chuckled. "I am not well known", he said. That may be the case but he sure is making his presence known at the table.

Jennifer Shahade

In the span of a couple hands, Jen Shahade went from average stack to the rail. In the first, she raised preflop to 300, and Andris Resevskis three-bet to 750. Shahade tanked for a minute, then re-raised all in. Resevskis called and tabled {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Shahade held {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and would need some help. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, and Resevskis's pocket queens won the pot. Resevskis had 3,925 in chips to start the hand, and he doubled up. Shahade had him outchipped by just a few hundred.

A few hands later, Shahade made a stand in the big blind. Resevskis opened the preflop action with a raise to 225, Shahade pushed all in, and Resevskis called. He turned over {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Shahade held {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The board ran came {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, missing Shahade, and Resevskis won the hand with a full house.

Resevskis now has double his starting stack and Shahade, noted chess expert and author of Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport, has been eliminated.
