Litt Rivers a Double

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David Litt was all in for his last few chips from the big blind against Danny Lindsey.

David Litt: 9♥6♦ All in
Danny Lindsey: J♥J♦

Litt looked likely to bust as he was up against an overpair. The 6♠7♣8♦ flop gave Litt a lot of outs with two cards to come. The 4♠ turn didn't change anything, but the 9♠ river improved Litt to two pair, keeping him in the tournament on the money bubble.

Player	Chips	Progress
Danny Lindsey	210,000 167,500	167,500
David Litt	13,000 109,000	109,000

With Tom McCormick all in for his last 500 chip from the small blind, Marcel Luske limped under the gun. Marsha Wolak called from middle position and David Scheunemann checked out of the big blind.

The three players checked the 5♥2♠7♥ flop to see the 9♥ turn. After Scheunemann checked, Luske bet 6,000, which only Wolak called.

Luske bet 15,000 when the 6♦ came on the river. Wolak quickly called and the cards were revealed.

Tom McCormick: 6♥2♥ All in
Marsha Wolak: 9♦8♠
Marcel Luske :K♣J♥

Luske had a total airball with king-high, while Wolak rivered a straight. However, McCormick revealed a flush to win the hand and remain in the tournament.

Tales From the Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With only 26,000 in chips on the direct bubble, Cheryl Catrair, says she's been getting all her good hands at the exact wrong time, as she's folded jacks and queens during hand-for-hand.

With an all being called over the microphone, the floor announced that Aces had Aces at risk and a collective moan was release from the field. They chopped.

Katherine Ziemer was good-naturedly folding with only 1,500 in her stack as hand-for-hand began when she was on the button but with each hand advancing, she was eventually forced all in blind vs blind. She caught the jack she needed to double and the bubble continues.

Player	Chips	Progress
Cheryl Catrair	26,000 35,000	35,000
Katherine Ziemer	3,000 67,100	67,100

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of 9♦2♦A♣, Thomas Gibbons checked from the small blind and John Therrell bet 6,000 from the big blind. Gibbons check-jammed for around 21,000, causing Therrell to go into the tank.

After thinking for a while, Therrell tossed his cards into the muck. Gibbons flipped over A♠8♥ for top pair as the pot was sent over to him.
