Baker Gets A Fold

Chris Land

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

David "ODB" Baker raised to 12,000 from the button. The small blind called before seeing Rami Boukai three-bet to 55,000 out of the big blind.

Baker thought briefly before putting in the call and the small blind folded, sending Baker and Boukai to the draw.

Boukai stood pat and Baker did the same after a brief moment of thought.

Boukai checked over to Baker who paused before counting out a bet of 85,000.

Boukai tanked for about a minute before tossing his cards into the muck and sending the pot to Baker.

Ramos Draws an Ace, Still Wins

Chris Land

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

Felipe Ramos raised to 10,000 from the button and got called by Chris Brewer in the big blind leading to the draw.

Brewer drew one while Ramos opted to take two.

Brewer checked over to Ramos who squeezed his two new cards and checked behind, first showing only the A♠ which was good enough to get a fold from Brewer as he had apparently paired one of his hole cards.

Ramos then turned over 7♦6♦5♣2♥ to show his completed hand before collecting the pot.

Felipe Ramos	187,000 72,000	72,000

Chris Brewer	160,000

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Galen Hall defended out of the big blind.

Both players took two cards after which Hall led out for 11,000. Brewer thought for some time as he appeared to consider making a move but ultimately chose the cautious route and tossed his cards away.

Galen Hall	510,000 86,500	86,500

Scheduling Change

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 13 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 7,500 ante

Due to the delayed start, the dinner break has been moved up to the end of this level rather than at the conclusion of Level 14. In addition, while the plan had been to whittle the field down to five players, that never appeared to be a realistic outcome and, as expected, the tournament director has announced that the day will end after Level 17.
