Herderhorst Soars To The Top

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Herderhorst raised to 30,000 from first position, which saw action fold around to Ricky Waggle in the big blind who called.

On a flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Waggle checked to Herderhorst who continued for 65,000 and Waggle called.

The turn of {2-Spades} saw Waggle move all in for 198,000 which sent Herderhorst into the tank. After some time thinking, he called and the hands were turned up.

Ricky Waggle: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
James Herderhorst: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The river {10-Hearts} did not complete Waggle's flush, giving Herderhorst a massive pot to send him into a top five chip stack.

Pete Petree
Pete Petree

Jacob Lewis raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and on the button, Pete Petree three-bet to 130,000. Lewis responded by moving all in for his remaining 180,000 and Petree called.

Jacob Lewis: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Pete Petree: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and Petree's full house was good enough to eliminate Lewis.

The following hand, Petree raised to 25,000 in the cutoff and an opponent moved all in for 120,000 on the button which Petree called.

Opponent: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Pete Petree: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Petree turned two pair to best tens and pad his chip stack even more.
