Meehan Meets the End after Inspiring Run

Brett Slezak

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action of the hand was recounted by the table after the fact.

Thomas Meehan and Justin Gardenhire saw the 8x7x4x flop before the rest of Meehan's chips found their way into the middle, at risk against Gardenhire.

Thomas Meehan: 9x9x All in
Justin Gardenhire: 8x8x

Meehan held on overpair to the board but Gardenhire flopped top set. The JxQx runout could not save Meehan, and he was sent to the exit, but not without the support of his Michigan poker club and many others after an inspiring run.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Niall Farrell and David Van Noy were battling in the blinds when Farrell bet 4,200 into the 6,400 pot on the A♣7♠6♠ flop. Van Noy called to the 4♠ turn, where Farrell sized up to 7,300.

Van Noy flicked in another call. The river fell the K♣, and Farrell spent some time in the tank before electing to make another bet of 7,300.

Van Noy quickly grabbed a raise of 33,000, and Farrell instantly picked up his cards to toss them into the muck.

Apostolov came over the top all in, and Mehmood was quick to call.

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Heads-up on a board of 2♣2♥10♦2♦ with approximately 15,000 already in the middle, Cliff Josephy checked from early position and Aaron Delabays bet 10,000 on the button. Josephy called.

The A♥ completed the board and both players checked. Josephy tabled K♣10♥ for deuces-full of tens, but Delabays turned over Q♣Q♠ for deuces-full of queens to claim the pot.

Foxen Out, Wolfgang In

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrew McIlvain raised from the hijack to 2,000, the player on the button called before Kristen Foxen raised to 10,000 in the big blind.

McIlvain responded by moving all in for roughly 65,000. The button player folded, but Foxen made the call.

As the shorter stack, with roughly 59,000, Foxen was the player at risk.

Kristen Foxen: Q♣Q♦ All in
Andrew Mcilvain: A♠K♥

It was a bad start for Foxen on the K♣9♦8♥ flop, as McIlvain improved to top pair.

There was no saving grace on the 2♦ turn, nor the 6♥ river, and Foxen said her goodbyes to the table.

On a nearby table, Alexander 'Wolfgang' Seibt has just bought in and taken his seat.

Gary Thompson raised it up from under the gun and Chaklam Tsang defended from the big blind. The flop came K♦Q♣2♥ and Tsang check-called a bet of 2,200 from Thompson.

The turn brought the 8♣ and Tsang checked again. Thompson fired out a bet of 9,000 and Tsang deliberated for a moment before making the call. The J♠ hit the river and Tsang checked for the third time. Thompson put together a bet of 16,000 and Tsang quickly called. Thompson turned over A♣K♣ for top pair but Tsang showed Q♦8♠ for two pair to win the pot.

Martin Uses His One Time Early

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Serge Chechin limped in from under the gun before Cory Martin shoved for roughly 6,600 from the cutoff. Only Chechin called.

Cory Martin: A♦5♣ All in
Serge Chechin: K♥8♥

Martin got out of his chair and was calling for his "one time" to keep him in the event. The poker gods complied as the board came 10♥J♦3♦3♣7♥, helping neither player, meaning Mortin's ace-high earned him the much needed double-up.
