Kerstetter Shoves

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jamie Kerstetter opened to 1,400 from early position, and the next player called. On the {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Kerstetter led out for 1,500, was raised to 3,500, and called. Both players checked the {4-Spades} turn, and on the {6-Hearts} river, Kerstetter moved all in. Her opponent quickly folded, and Kerstetter took down the pot.

Weisner Out

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Melanie Weisner
Melanie Weisner

It was folded to Melanie Weisner on the button, who went all in for around 7,000 total, and the big blind called. Weisner turned over the {4-Diamonds}, the big blind {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Weisner asked if she could keep her other card hidden. She was forced to turn over her other card which was the {A-Clubs} and no help to her, as the board ran out {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Weisner was eliminated.

Klein Chops it Up

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On a {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, the hijack seat check-called a bet from Loren Klein on the button. The action was the same on the {K-Clubs} turn, where the bet was for 12,000. On the {9-Spades} river, both players checked. The hijack announced, "Ace high," and turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Klein slowly showed his {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the same hand, and the players chopped the pot.
