A Few More Notable Stacks

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

O'Mera Finds A Double

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bob O'Mera raised to 7,000 from under the gun, leaving only 1,500 chips behind. A player in middle position made the call, leaving the players heads up to the flop.

The flop came AJQ and O'Mera went all in and was called by his opponent.

Bob O'Mera: KK All in
Middle Position; 1010

O'Mera was relived to avoid seeing his opponent have an ace and would just need to fade a king to give his opponent a straight. The board ran out 7 on the turn and J on the river, and his pocket kings were still best, securing the double up.

Faber’s Elimination Escorted with Applause

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was caught on the flop of Q93. Bracelet-winner Susan Faber was first to act, putting in the last of her chips. She was quickly called by her opponent in the hand, Dennis Stevermer, who was in middle position.

Susan Faber: 98All in
Dennis Stevermer: KK

Faber’s good-looking hand was good for second pair, but she needed help against Stevermer’s kings. However, the turn came the 6 and the 7, respectively, and Faber did not improve. Faber had made quite an impression with her table mates, who made it clear it was a pleasure playing with her and even gave her a round of applause as she left the tournament area.

Every Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was picked up on the flop of K35 and the early position player bet out 11,000 and Larry Rider moved all in for effective 24,000 and the early position player called.

Early position: KQ All in
Larry Rider: 33

Rider was well ahead with his trips and the turn J and river A kept him ahead and as he stated, "I got lucky".

Piotrowski Gets Tricky

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

When it folded to John Piotrowski in the hijack, he raised to 2,300, and was called by the big blind.

The flop came 8J2 and both players checked to the turn.

After the 9 on the turn, the big blind bet out 4,100 before being raised to 9,500 by Piotrowski. The big blind elected to make the call and see a river.

The river was the A and once the big checked, Piotrowski bet 13,500. After thinking over his decision, the big blind folded his hand and gave the pot to Piotrowski.

Blickenstaff with Big Blind Special

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The player on the button limped, as did the small blind and David Blickenstaff checked from the big blind. The flop came out with 923 and the blinds both checked to the button who bet out 3,600. The small blind folded and Blickenstaff made the call.

Both players checked the 5 on the turn.

The river 2 had Blickenstaff betting 4,300 and the button called.

The button hesitated as Blickenstaff showed K2 for trips and announced, "It was the big blind special". The button mucked and indicated he was coming for Blickenstaff.
