Breaking Things

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

That's another level behind us, and the three surviving players have stepped off the stage for a quick break.

Cullen Doubles Through Jejelowo

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Harry Cullen has patiently waited for a spot to get his chips into the middle. With a flopped full house, we'd say thats a good time to do it.

With the board reading {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}, AJ Jejelowo called Cullen's raise all in and both had nailed that flop. Jejelowo had trips with {8-Spades}{7-Spades}, but Cullen was ahead with {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Cullen faded the necessary outs on the river as the {3-Hearts} fell and is now up to about 460,000.

Jejelowo Higher

AJ Jejewolo raised to 45,000 (?) preflop, and Gary Friedlander called to see a flop from his big blind.

It came {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Spades}, and Jejelowo continued out with 50,000. Friedlander made the call, and the {5-Clubs} dropped on fourth street. Both players checked now, and the {2-Clubs} filled out the board. When Friedlander checked a third time, Jejelowo eyed up the pot and slid out a full stack worth 200,000. The call came quickly, and Jejelowo turned up {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for the flush. It was good.

It sounded like Friedlander had a straight, but we couldn't make out the full conversation. In any event, the pot goes to Jejewolo, and it opens up his lead a bit. He's up to about 1.355 million now with well over half the chips in play.

Jejelowo Takes From Friedlander

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

AJ Jejelowo raised to 32,000 on the button and Gary Friedlander three-bet to 75,000 from the big blind.

Jejelowo called and the flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}. A check from Friedlander led to a bet of 85,000 from Jejelowo. After about a minute, Friedlander called to see the {Q-Clubs} turn. Both checked, landing the {4-Clubs} on the river. Friedlander checked again and Jejelowo fired 200,000, too rich for Friedlander as he gave it up.

Jejelowo retakes the chip lead with about 1,060,000, while Friedlander slips to about 960,000.

Allie Prescott Eliminated in 4th Place ($66,202)

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Allie Prescott - 4th place
Allie Prescott - 4th place

Gary Friedlander opened to 38,000 under the gun and Allie Prescott shoved from the small blind for about 220,000. Friedlander called immediately and tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, miles ahead of Prescott's {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, ending Prescott's run here at Harrah's New Orleans with a fourth-place finish.

Friedlander, meanwhile, is up to just more than 1.1 million.

Prescott had a fine run here in New Orleans as the only player to cash in the "Big Three" events. He took 18th place in the Main Event, 3rd place in the $1,000 ring event, and now 4th place here in the Southern Regional Championship.

Cullen Gets Them In

Level 24 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Harry Cullen limped in under the gun, and both AJ Jejelowo and Allie Prescott called from their respective blinds.

The flop came {3-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades}, and Jejelowo led out with 25,000. Prescott flatted, and Cullen came along as well to see the {Q-Hearts} appear on fourth street. Jejewolo checked now, and Prescott followed suit. Cullen shoved all in, drawing a big belly laugh from Jejewolo. He folded fairly quickly, though, while Prescott tanked and folded with some hesitation.

Prescott Cut in Half

From the button, Allie Prescott made it 40,000 to play, and Gary Friedlander defended his big blind with a call.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, and Friedlander knocked the table. Prescott bet something with a "five" at the end, possibly 45,000, and Friedlander slid out a check-raise to 92,000 total. Prescott took a couple minutes to stare his opponent down before matching the raise with a call.

That led them to the innocuous looking {6-Hearts} turn, and Friedlander took pause now. After some mental gymnastics, he settled on a bet of 134,000, sliding it forward in a neatly-stacked technicolor tower. Prescott double-checked his hole cards, then spent some more time in the tank before plunking the call into the pot.

The {8-Hearts} was the last card off the deck, and Friedlander again took a few minutes to think before announcing his all in. The call represented Prescott's full stack of about 250,000 as Friedlander had him slightly covered. Prescott checked his cards one last time, chewed on it a bit more, then surrendered his cards into the muck.
