Overpair Folds Out Overpair

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

A player in early position opened with a min-raise and Bart Lybaert three-bet to 55,000. The original raiser called and the flop came {3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. It was checked to Lybaert and he quickly announced all in with his massive stack of over 800,000, easily covering the 390,000 remaining in front of his opponent.

Action stalled for a couple minutes while the player thought about the call and another player called the clock. He eventually made the fold and said, "I put you on ace-queen." Lybaert flipped over {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and his opponent said that he had jacks.

The Same Battlefield Again

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

In the very last hand of the previous level, Jonathan Dimmig and Christopher Keller were at it and they just knocked heads again. Even before the {7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop there was already 250,000 in the middle of the table, then Keller led for 105,000 out of the small blind. Dimmig made a raise just above the minimum and his opponent tank-folded.

Shimelfarb into Seven Figures

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With the board reading {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on fourth street, Gennady Shimelfarb checked out of the big blind. Maurice Hawkins did likewise in middle position, and a player in the hijack bet 110,000. Shimelfarb called and Hawkins folded. A {j-Diamonds} hit the river and Shimelfarb thought for a minute before sliding forward all of his red T5000 chips: 275,000. The hijack quickly folded and Shimelfarb dragged the huge pot to pass the 1 million-mark.

Good Read (Not Really)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With 143,000 in chips in front of Bradley Anderson in what looked to be an apparent four-bet and an all-in wager in front of Jeff Sluzinski, the action was back on Anderson who would be at risk if he made the call. After a few moments of thought, Anderson made the call and turned over {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. He was in trouble as Sluzinski had {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

"Come on jack, come on jack," Anderson begged as the dealer put out the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. "Come on jack," Anderson said again as the {7-Clubs} turn was placed on the felt. The dealer burned a card and Anderson gave one last plea for a miracle. "Jack ball, jack ball."

Jack ball it was: The {J-Diamonds}. "Whew," sighed Anderson. Sluzinski's reaction was understandably one of frustration. "Good call. Good read," he said to Anderson. "Thought you were making a move on me," Anderson replied.

Racking Up Chips

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

There are still so many small denominations in play that the dealers take out some of the yellow T1000 stacks to facilitate the upcoming levels for their colleagues. We are now down to 89 players and only 80 away from an early night for us bloggers. Just kidding, this is gonna take a while. In the next few minutes we will collect some of the bigger and well known chip counts.

John Moore Nearing a Million

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

John Moore opened to 24,000 and was reraised by the player in Seat 9 to 56,000. Moore didn't react right away as he sat there in thought. After close to a minute of deliberation he announced that he was all in. His opponent looked one more time at his cards and then called with {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for approximately 350,000. He would need to hit something, however, as Moore had {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to give Moore's opponent the nut flush draw. Moore was able to fade the draw and ace, however, as the turn came {6-Hearts} and the river was the {5-Diamonds}, and Moore is up to 915,000.
