Eddlemon Runs Out of Blinds

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jason Eddlemon
Jason Eddlemon

Jason Eddlemon had been nursing a short stack for a little while and couldn't pick up a hand for the longest time. He finally found a spot to get it all in from the hijack but was quickly called by Jayachandra Gangaiah in the small blind.

Jayachandra Gangaiah: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Eddlemon: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The flop of {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs} was not a kind one for Eddlemon and he knew it. "That's not a good flop for me," he muttered. The {7-Spades} on the turn gave Eddlemon some life but the {2-Diamonds} on the river ensured Gangaiah's pocket jacks would hold up.

Alley Doubles Up

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

The player on the cutoff opened to 100,000. Derek Alley, in the small blind, three-bet shoved for around 500,000. The original raiser made the call.

Derek Alley: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}

Alley hit a pretty favourable flop of {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The {5-Spades} turn and {8-Diamonds} river completed the board and Alley got his double up.

Tambouras Flops the Joint to Double Up

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Tambouras moved all in for his last 620,000 from the hijack and Geoffrey Rasmussen announced all in over the top from the cutoff. The button and blinds folded and the two hands were tabled.

Stephen Tambouras: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Geoffrey Rasmussen: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Tambouras flopped the nut straight to take a stranglehold in the hand. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} which left Rasmussen drawing dead to the {7-Spades} on the river. The two players virtually swapped stacks as Tambouras moved into the seven-figure club.

Berkey Finishes Off Rasmussen

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Keith Ferrera raised to 100,000 from middle position and Geoffrey Rasmussen jammed all in for around 500,000 out of the small blind. Matt Berkey was in the big blind and thought for a moment before shoving all in over the top. Ferrera quickly disposed of his cards and the remaining two hands were tabled.

Matt Berkey: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Geoffrey Rasmussen: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Berkey's aces held on to eliminate Rasmussen.

"I hate that spot. There's a 1% chance you're calling," Berkey said to Ferrera. "I have to make it look like I'm thinking and make this poor bastard suffer."

Wong and Sammer Duel for the Lead

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Jacky Wong limped in from early position and Harald Sammer bumped it up to 165,000 on the button. The action folded back to Wong who shipped all in for 1,870,000. Sammer thought for a minute and then tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Jacky Wong: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Harald Sammer: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

It was a classic coin flip and the winner would come out as the chip leader. The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Wong paired his king to take the lead.

"I guess this is where I use my one time," Sammer pleaded.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and the river brought the {9-Clubs} as Sammer was unable to catch back up. Wong got a full double up and moved into the chip lead while Sammer was left with less than two big blinds.
