Momentum with McCormick
Low Card: 2000
Completion: 5000
Limits: 5000-10000
Tom McCormick: K♠7♠3x / 3♠3♥K♥2♠
Eric Wasserson: XxXx / J♥Q♠9♣ - folded on fifth street
Jon Turner: XxXxXx / 7♦7♥10♥8♠
Action was caught on fifth street, with around 30,000 in the middle.
Jon Turner, with a pair of sevens on his board, bet. Tom McCormick, who had threes showing called. Eric Wasserson was the third player in the hand, and after some thought, returned his cards to the dealer.
Turner bet on sixth street, and then called when McCormick raised. Turner checked on seventh street, and then had a pained looked on his face when McCormick threw in another 10,000 into the pot. Turner couldn't let his hand go, and put in calling chips.
"Three's full," announced McCormick, who tabled his K♠7♠3x down cards. Turner couldn't beat that, and the pot went to his opponent.
Aaron Kupin: K♥J♥10♥ / 5♥9♠8♣9♣
Tom McCormick: J♦9♥3♦ / J♣4♠7♥5♣
On the next hand, Aaron Kupin called before McCormick raised. The action folded back to Kupin, who called.
Kupin called a bet on fourth street, before raising on fifth street. McCormick stuck around and called Kupin's bet on sixth street. Once the final down cards had been dealt, Kupin put in his last 1,000 and was quickly called.
Kupin could only show the pair of nines on his board, while McCormick had a pair of jacks, which was enough to seal the pot and eliminate Kupin.
