Farrell Doubles into the Chip Lead

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Shannon Farrell
Shannon Farrell

Shannon Farrell limped in from the cutoff and Maria Parlatore raised to 29,000 in the small blind. The player in the big blind flatted and Farrell tagged along as well.

The flop came down {6-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} and Parlatore continued for 60,000. The player in the big blind folded but Farrell raised all in for 285,000.

Parlatore went into the tank agonizing over her decision. She would eventually call and be shown the bad news.

Shannon Farrell: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}
Maria Parlatore: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

A {q-Spades}{10-Spades} run out would secure the double up for Farrell who leaped into the chip lead leaving Parlatore with just four bigs.

Monster Pot Rockets Herberger up the Leaderboard

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Three players all got their chips in preflop with Rob Zaenglein having Paul Herberger and another tablemate at risk.

Zaenglein was in great shape to scoop a massive pot having {a-}{a-} against the {k-}{k-} of Herberger and {a-}{k-} for the third player in the hand.

Unfortunately for Zaenglein, the case king landed on the river and Herberge raked in the 450,000 chip pot.

Gras Busts Bullard on the Bubble

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

On the second hand of hand-for-hand play, the bubble was popped.

Chris Gras opened to 12,000 with {q-}{8-Spades} suited and then called a three-bet worth 27,000 from Stephen Bullard on the button. The flop came down {q-}{8-}{5-} and Gras check-called Bullard's all in jam for about 70,000.

Bullard had {k-}{k-} and no help came as he was eliminated on the money bubble.
