Force, Rosenberg Bust to Force Redraw

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Jason Rosenberg check-raised pot after a bet from Andrew Paterson on a {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop. Paterson pushed all in, and Rosenberg called.

Rosenberg: {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Paterson: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}

It was a classic Pot-Limit Omaha spot, as Rosenberg had top set but Paterson had heaps of outs with a combo draw to the nuts and a draw to a higher set. He hit two of his outs as the {7-Hearts} was followed by the {a-Diamonds}.

"Whaddya gonna do?" Rosenberg asked rhetorically before wishing the other players good luck.

With the concurrent elimination of Leif Force at a neighboring table, the players are redrawing for the final three tables.

"I Have Quads"

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that Nick Kallenbach got his short stack all in while Greg Merson and Allan Le created a side pot.

When the flop came down {7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, Merson bet the pot and Le shook his head before folding.

"I have quads," Merson joked and tabled his hand — {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}. If he could use three cards from his hand he would have had quads, but as it stood he found the case ace to make top set. Merson took down the side pot, but there was still 40,000 or so in the main. Kallenbach tabled the {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a flush draw, and he actually hit it on the {Q-Diamonds} turn.

Kallenbach just needed to avoid the board pairing on the river to more than triple, which he did when the {9-Diamonds} peeled off.

New Leader

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Matt Ryan just wrested the chip lead from Joe Monro in a massive pot. After Ryan bet out on a {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop, Monro raised him. Ryan repotted, and the two got it all in.

Ryan: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Monro: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Ryan had flopped a monster with two nut draws and bottom two, but he trailed Monro's set of queens. Things flipped on the {10-Hearts} turn, which gave Ryan a straight. Monro's outs were slim with Ryan holding two blockers, and the {9-Clubs} left him sending the majority of his stack to Ryan.

Gorman Busts Just Before the Break

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

In a hand just before last break, Erik Gorman busted to Mark Johnson, who finished third in the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) FireKeepers in Battle Creek, Michigan for $35,745 less than two weeks ago.

We missed the action, but it appeared the two got it all in preflop. When we arrived, the board read {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} and the two had the following cards laid out in front of them.

Johnson: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Gorman: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Johnson had a set of tens, and it was good enough to send Gorman home in 36th place for $5,187.
