Sick Pot Boosts Glenn's Stack

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Andrew Seidman looks to be our chip leader, but his reign at the top is under threat from James Glenn.

Glenn beckoned us over to tell us about a hand that went down before the bubble burst, one that should have seen him exiting before the money.

"It was aces versus threes," Glenn began, "I had threes, he had the aces."

According to Glenn and the gentleman to his left, a near 90,000 pot was created when the chips went flying in on an {A-}{3-}{6-} flop, Glenn being a massive underdog. The turn bricked but the river was a three, improving Glenn to quads and sending the poor soul with a set of aces to the sidelines with a legitimate bad beat story to tell anyone within earshot.

Sometimes in poker you have to get lucky and Glenn was certainly that.

The Caveman Strikes Back

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Steven van Zadelhoff doubled up with pocket aces against pocket kings and is now above average on a table with Bart Lybaert. Loren Klein was all in with {K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} versus {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and the flop instantly delivered an ace to leave him with three antes. That would be a hell of a comeback story if he spins it up again.

The Bucket List

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

They still keep on pouring out as barely any minute actually passes without the "payout table x" announcements from the dealers. Buck Ramsay just took care of a short stack after min raising and then calling the three-bet shove for another eight bib blinds with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. His opponent had kings but the {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board gave him the nut flush.

Oh, a Big Stack

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It helps a lot when you have many chips and also get decent hands. Andrew Oh has joined the contenders for a top ten spot in the current chip counts when knocking out an opponent with {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. He is stacking a little fortress in the orange section and should be around 200,000.
