Miracle River for Alibay

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Ami Alibay pushed his last 5,000 in the middle and the player on the button raised to 10,000. The blinds folded and the players tabled their cards:

Ami Alibay: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
His opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Alibay's hand was dominated and he started to walk away from the table after the board first fell {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but a {j-Diamonds} fell on the river, giving two pair to Alibay who came back to his seat after the table told him he won the hand.

Rodgers Plays for the Love of Poker and People

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Todd Rodgers, a self-described amateur living in Las Vegas, plays at the WSOP every year for the love of the game and to play tournaments between $1,000 and $1,500, but also to raise awareness about the difficulties facing families where a member is suffering from cancer, including all the financial, emotional and medical costs that it takes.

Rodgers runs a charity at sendmeonvacation.org, a company that organizes trips and vacations for breast cancer survivors and their families. He sat down next to Phill Hellmuth at the Double Stack event last week and got him to help his organization. For the last seven years, Rodgers’ organization has sent people on vacation to many countries and cruise ships.

Rodgers has now taken his seat in this event and we will continue to monitor his progress.
