On a Roll

Bart Tichelman had the button in seat 7. John Devia raised to 80,000. Action folded around to Tichelman who reraised to 240,000. Devia made the call and it was heads-up to the flop of {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Devia led out for 160,000 and Tichelman moved all in. Devia folded and Tichelman took down the pot.

Mark Garner Eliminated in 6th Place ($64,880)

Bart Tichelman had the button in seat 7. John Devia made a raise to 85,000 from under the gun. Mark Garner reraised all in for 230,000 from the cutoff seat. Devia insta-called and the players showed:

Devia: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Garner: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}

Garner was quite dominated and would need serious help to stay alive. The community cards missed Garner as they came {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and he was eliminated in sixth place. Garner will walk away with $64,880 for his strong finish here today.

Mark Garner had the button in seat 6. Action folded around to Bart Tichelman in the small blind who raised to 90,000. Donald Nicholson reraised all in from the big blind and Tichelman made the call for his remaining 446,000. The players showed:

Tichelman: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Nicholson: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The board missed Nicholson as it filled out {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Bart Tichelman doubled up to just over 900,000 and is now the chip leader.

An Interesting Observation

In slightly over 100 hands of play, not a single player has limped into a pot from a non-blind position. Every player who had entered a pot from a non-blind position has done so with a raise or a re-raise.
