Adam Owen Takes Chip Lead in Four-Way Pot

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Adam Owen
Adam Owen

Juuso Leppanen probably had no idea what he was getting into when he opened to 6,500 from middle position. Adam Owen called in position and the small blind called as well.

Shaun Deeb was in the big blind and raised to go all in for 9,700. Leppanen raised the pot and Owen quickly went all in. The small blind got a count from Owen and it was 86,300 total. He called.

Hands:
Owen: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Leppanen: {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Deeb: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Small Blind: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Owen won both the huge side pot (240,000) and the much smaller main pot (40,000).

Kyle Montgomery Almost Doubles Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Kyle Montgomery was sitting in the small blind with about 50,000 chips. A player opened in middle position and Montgomery raised the pot. The raiser immediately raised all in and Montgomery called.

Their stack sizes were about equal, with Montgomery holding a slight advantage in chips. He was behind and in need of a perfect runout in order to continue.

He had {q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades} versus the {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs} of his opponent.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and Montgomery won the hand and basically doubled up while eliminating his opponent.

What's Going On?

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

As players near the final two levels of play for Day 1b, the knockouts are happening pretty consistently. Several notable players have been knocked out this level. Adam Owen has extended his lead and Kyle Montgomery has gone from 50,000 to 225,000. Here's what went down.

  • Adam Owen won another three-way all in against two players who both held pocket kings. Owen won the hand with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} and made aces up to earn another double KO.
  • Michelle Chin elminated former WSOP bracelet winner Lawrence Berg.
  • Kyle Montgomery, who was all in and barely had his opponent covered then pulled a miracle king on the river, has now passed 200,000 chips after knocking out Andy Philachack.
  • Kevin Napadow earned a double knockout with {a-}{a-}{4-}{5-}. He was up against {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and {k-}{k-}{3-}{3-}. The board ran out {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the player holding kings and threes cheered at making a full house. Napadow showed him the four-three that accompanied his aces and he got back up and headed to the rail.
