Cate Hall Five-Bet Shoves to Add to Her Growing Stack

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 525, and Cate Hall three-bet to 2,000 from the small blind. The cutoff four-bet to 5,600, and Hall thought for about a minute before five-bet shoving her stack in the middle. Her opponent quickly folded, and Hall raked in a nice pot without even seeing a flop.

Hall registered late today but has already more than doubled the starting stack.

Another Break

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The tournament clock now says entries have jumped up to 1,112, and the remaining players are on another 20-minute break.

Level: 5

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 50

Triple Starting Stack For the Triple Crown Winner Mohsin Charania

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The player in the hijack was all in before the flop, as was Mohsin Charania, in the cutoff. Charania held the best of it with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}, up against {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and Charania was still well ahead with a pair of aces. The turn was the {a-Clubs}, and his opponent was drawing dead to the {7-Spades} on the river.

After earning the Triple Crown by winning a WSOP bracelet just last week, adding to his WPT and EPT wins, Charania is back at it and has built up to triple the starting stack in this event already.
