Obrestad and Wheeler Tangle

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We picked up the action after a {k-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop and Annette Obrestad was heads up with Jason Wheeler. Obrestad bet 4,300 and Wheeler made the call. The turn was the {2-Clubs} and Wheeler called a bet of 7,200 from Obrestad.

The {j-Diamonds} fell on the river and Obrestad didn't slow down, betting 11,600. Wheeler contemplated for a few minutes, before eventually throwing out chips for the call. Obrestad tabled {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trip kings and Wheeler mucked.

Helder Busts Two

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jason Helder opened to 1,700 from early position and two short-stacked players moved all in from late postion. After getting the largest count of 5,600 from the dealer, Helder made the call.

Helder {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}
1st Opponent: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
2nd Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-}{q-}{6-}{3-}{k-} and Helder's flopped two pair held to send a couple more players to the rail.

"All My Career"

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jason Wheeler
Jason Wheeler

Jason Wheeler saw his stack reduced in a couple of hands against Stephen Happas and he was ultimately all in for what looked like 27,000 chips with {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Once again it was Happas who looked him up with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and the {10-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board knocked Wheeler out. Happas is now among the biggest stacks in the room.

Upon leaving, Wheeler glanced at us and said "all my career," shrugged his shoulders, and left the tournament area.

Busting Again at Hyper Speed

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The first two levels of play are not complete yet and we have already lost more than 300 players. Less than 100 spots away from the money, all participants are now in the Amazon Orange and Purple section and soon the tables will be checked more carefully to see how many are remaining to ensure a fair bubble.

Danny Nguyen Doubles

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in the Hijack opened and then called a three bet shove from Danny Nguyen, putting Nguyen at risk.

Nguyen: {q-Spades}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and Nguyen hit a straight on the river to survive and double up.
