Clocktails Over at Table #654

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 0/0, 20,000 ante

8♦4♥3♣8♠10♣
2♣9♦8♥J♠4♦

Kevin Ordet had fired 25,000 on the flop, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Jacob Baumgartner put in a raise, which sent Ordet into the tank to try and make a pay jump.

"Do I have time to go and pee?" asked Danny Wong. "Sure, if you guys don't call the clock,", replied Ordet.

The jump was worth around $1,300 and Ordet's table were far too nice to him, allowing him to tank for around ten minutes before another play eventually busted. When that happened, Ordet put in his last chip.

Kevin Ordet: Q♠8♣2♠2♥ All in
Jacob Baumgartner: A♥Q♦10♥4♠

Ordet ended with trips on the top and a set on the bottom, but Baumgartner hit a straight on the bottom, meaning they chopped it up.

At the same time the pot was chopped, the cocktail server came over to ask if the table wanted any drinks.

"Cocktails? You mean CLOCKtails!" said one of the table.

Shortly after that hand, Ordet was eliminated as he unable to spin up his short stack, though he was a little richer.

Level 20 : Blinds 0/0, 15,000 ante

A♥8♣9♥3♣10♥
5♠7♥Q♦4♠Q♣

The flop checked around and when it got to Matthew Tamura in middle position, he fired 100,000 on the turn. Christian Harder called from the hijack, and Paul Phillips called in the small blind.

Phillips decided to lead out for 165,000 when the rivers hit, which got a quick fold out of Tamura. Harder seemed to have a tough spot as he exhaled a huge puff of air and leant back to mull it over. Eventually, Harder called.

Phillips then showed J♥9♠5♥5♦ for a flush on the top and a full house on the bottom, which meant he scooped as Harder mucked.

Level 19 : Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante

4♦2♠3♠4♣7♥
K♦7♠6♥5♠10♦

Kharlin Sued stuck in his last 88,000 on the flop and Jacob Baumgartner potted to 360,000. Sridhar Kandukuri also committed his stack of 220,000.

Kharlin Sued: 9♥6♣6♦3♦ All in
Sridhar Kandukuri: K♥K♣J♠10♠ All in
Jacob Baumgartner: 8♥7♣6♠5♦

Sued was already calling for a payout as he was beat on both boards when the chips went in on the flop. The runout gave Baumgartner a straight on the top, but Kandukuri's set of kings held on the bottom, which left Sued on the sidelines as the other two players chopped up his chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jacob Baumgartner	1,150,000 41,000	41,000
Sridhar Kandukuri	330,000 128,000	128,000

Side Pots Galore!

Jacob Wilson

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

J♠10♠5♣10♣6♣
8♣6♠10♥Q♦A♣

Seven players placed in their 10,000 ante to see two flops, and over half of them ended up with their stacks in the middle. Once they had been dealt, Ryan Haas wasted no time in open-shoving his remaining 52,000 into the middle, as the first player to act. Rick Ngo then announced "pot", and the dealer told him to place in 226,000. Jacob Baumgartner made the call, and Alessandro De Michele decided he also wanted some of the action, as he went all in for 70,000, and the players were off to a turn.

After a check from Ngo, Baumgartner shoved to put him at risk, and Ngo called, making him the fourth player to be playing for it all in this hand. Showdown took place once the completed boards were out, and the first pot to be decided was that between Ngo and Baumgartner, as the latter tabled K♠Q♣J♥9♠ for the scoop against Q♠7♠9♦3♥. His pair of jacks was good enough on top as Ngo's draws had missed, and he went runner-runner for Broadway on the bottom board, rendering Ngo's flopped straight irrelevant; sending him home and awarding the lion's share of the pot to Baumgartner

It was then De Michele's turn to table his cards, as he had K♣9♣7♣7♥. Unable to match Baumgartner's Broadway, he split the sidepot with him after backing into a king-high flush on the top board.

A third chop was in order, as Haas froze De Michele out of the final pot as his 5♥5♦4♥3♠ meant his boat also split a pot with Broadway
