Small Pots

Redraw

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With Viacheslav Buldygin signing up, the tournament now has 16 players. Because they don't want a player to be certain which seat they get upon signing up, a redraw is being done so Buldygin gets a random seat assigned. A short break to facilitate the redraw is in progress now, the tournament continues right after the players have taken their new seat.

Run It Once

"Bad River?" - "Terrible!"

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a board of {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} we saw Justin Bonomo bet 14,000 from first position. Paul Newey on the button, who's going for his fifth final table in a (Super) High Roller event in a row, raised to 38,000. Bonomo contemplated what to do for just a bit before he called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board and Bonomo pushed all in. Instantly, Newey tossed his cards into the muck.

"Bad river?" Charlie Carrel asked.

"Terrible!" said Newey with a big smile and a huge laugh.
