Roxanne Johnson

Level 17 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

David Hellmold raised from late position with a short stack and Nick Guagenti called from the small blind and Jesse Katz from the big blind also made the call.

The flop came out 9♠2♦8♦ and Guagenti bet and Katz called before Hellmold three-bet. Both players called.

On the turn 6♦, Hellmold put in his last 5,000 chips and Guangenti raised but Katz folded.

There was a delay and Hellmold said, "Do you have anything?"

Guangenti replied, "Yes I have a straight."

David Hellmold: A♣A♠ All in
Nick Guagenti: 7♦5♠

The river Q♥ was inconsequential and Hellmond went out on the bubble with pocket aces.

Level 17 : Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Blaise Ingoglia was visibly concerned to see a river bet from Teresa Chang on the board of K♣8♥K♥Q♦K♦. The pot between the two had ballooned to over 75,000 on the river, with Ingoglia having only 32,000 left behind. He checked the river on the small blind, and Change bet in middle position. Ingoglia muttered to himself, but still quickly called.

He showed 8♣8♠ for a flopped full house, while Chang flipped over A♠Q♠ for the runner-runner better full house.

Ingoglia was unhappy, but was luckier on the next hand he played, which started with a raise from JJ Liu and a call by himself. Next to act was Mark Gregorich, who was on the short stack and went all in for 13,500. Liu called and Ingoglia called.

The flop was 8♣6♠4♦, Liu checked and Ingoglia put in his last 500 chip. Liu called and the three players flipped over their cards.

Blaise Ingoglia: A♦4♣ All in
JJ Liu: J♦10♦
Mark Gregorich: A♥10♥ All in

Ingoglia was ahead with his pair of fours and the 2♠ and the 7♦, which came on the turn and river respectively, changed nothing, sending around 60,000 chips Ingoglia’s way and ending Gregorich’s tournament.

JJ Liu	97,000 38,500	38,500
