Harrison's Snowmen Stand Firm

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Corey Harrison opened to 6,500 under the gun and received an all-in shove for 39,000 from the player on his immediate left, David Evans. When action returned to him, Harrison called putting Evans at risk.

David Evans: 7♥7♣ All in
Corey Harrison: 8♣8♦

Evans started packing his things when he saw Harrison with the higher pair. The board ran 6♣2♦A♠3♣Q♦ and with nothing there to help Evans, he continued to head out the floor.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

David Childs raised from late position to 10,000 only for Damon Kroupa to three-bet to 30,000 from the button. Childs called, and the players saw the flop of A♠K♥A♣.

Childs checked and Kroupa continued for 20,000. Childs called, and the dealer rolled off the 9♥ as the turn card. Childs checked again, and now Kroupa pushed out a bet of 80,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Childs raised the additional 5,000 to put Kroupa all-in, and Kroupa snap called.

Damon Kroupa: A♦J♣ All in
David Childs: A♥K♦

Kroupa was drawing dead and sent packing when the irrelevant 8♥ came on the river.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Changliang Deng opened to 10,000 from the cutoff. The small blind called, and John Ciccarelli defended from the big blind.

Deng continued for 17,000 on the 9♠6♦2♥ but Ciccarelli was the only one to call.

Both of them checked the 9♣ turn leading to the 8♦ river where Deng bet 27,000. Ciccarelli check-raised all-in for 122,000 with A♣6♠ for two pair, but Deng called with Q♥9♥ for trips and eliminated Ciccarelli.
