Andemichael Predicts a Short Winter

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sean Winter is down to less than two big blinds after losing the majority of his stack in an all-in confrontation against Robel Andemichael.

While the board had already been washed, Winter was in the small blind with AQ, which clearly hadn't been able to get there against Andemichael's QQ as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Seidel Takes From Hall

Level 4 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 11,000 from the hijack and Galen Hall called from the big blind.

Hall check-called a 15,000 bet from Seidel on the AJK flop. Both players checked the 10 turn.

When the 6 fell on the river Hall fired a small bet of 13,000. Seidel called and showed AJ for two pair which was enough to beat the 10J that Hall had for a lower two pair.

Rabichow Finds a Double

Level 4 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Hunichen raised to 11,000 from late position and received a call from a player on the button before Kevin Rabichow moved all in for his remaining 59,000. Hunichen got out of the way and the player on the button called to put Rabichow at risk.

Button: 66
Kevin Rabichow: A10

Rabichow flopped two-pair on the A107 flop and remained ahead on the 7 turn and 9 river to secure the double up and scoop a healthy pot.

Foxen Makes Huge Hero Call for Tournament Life

Level 4 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kristen Foxen

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 986 and about 150,000 already in the pot. Kristen Foxen bet 45,000 and called when Yang Wang raised to 90,000.

Both players checked the 4 turn. On the Q river Foxen checked again and Wang moved all in with a covering stack.

Foxen thought about her decision for about 30 seconds before making the call.

Wang showed A7 for a missed straight draw turned river bluff while Foxen showed K9 for just second pair which was enough to take down a huge pot and secure a full double up.

"Better than watching on tv," Sam Snead, who was also at the table said. "That was amazing."
