Hand #208 - Nathan Templeton

Nathan Templeton has the button in Seat 6. He raises to 85,000. Devin Porter calls all in for his last 33,000 and Rep Porter makes the call. Three players to the flop of {2-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {4-Clubs}, with Devin all in. Rep and Templeton check to the turn {Q-Clubs}. Both check again. On the river {7-Spades}, Rep checks to Templeton who bets 100,000. Rep folds. Nathan opens his hand to show {7-?} {4-?} for a rivered two pair; Devin has {A-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for one pair, aces. He is eliminated from the tournament and will earn $151,842 for all of his work the last three days.

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3 and he raises to 85,000. Nathan Templeton announces a reraise from the small blind. As required, he does indeed push out a stack of 245,000. With action now on Devin Porter, he announces "all in." Rep Porter seems unimpressed. It seems he has a real hand. Instead of carefully studying his opponents like he usually does, he is staring at his chips and the felt. It seems he doesn't so much need a read on his opponents, but on the situation itself. Porter continues to stare at his chips, then over to Templeton's then back to Devin Porter's all the while shuffling a stack of ten yellow chips. Porter finally calls. Templeton folds instantly. Devin's bet is roughly 1,300,000 and he has Rep barely covered. The players show:

Rep Porter: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Devin Porter: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

The flop comes {9-Spades} {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts}. The crowd is on it's feet as the turn falls the {5-Clubs}. The spectators grow even more excited and uneasy. The river card is the {3-Spades}. Devin Porter misses and his hand is second best. He is crippled with under 100,000 chips. Rep Porter doubles through Devin Porter.

Nathan Templeton has the button in seat 6 and he raises to 90,000. Devin Porter slowly peeks at his hole cards and then reraises to 260,000. Rep Porter gets out of the way and action is back to Templeton. He asks for a count on Devin Porter's stack. After a minute or two of deliberation, Templeton gives it up. Devin Porter wins the pot.

Devin Porter has the button in seat 1 and he passes. Rep Porter raises to 90,000 from the small blind. Nathan Templeton calls the raise and it's heads up to the flop.

The flop comes {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Porter leads out for 130,000 and Templeton sits motionless for a bit, but eventually calls.

The {9-Clubs} hits the turn and Porter slows down and checks. Templeton checks behind.

The {8-Spades} on the river has Porter checking again. Templeton uses both hands to push out his bet of 200,000. Porter thinks for about 15 seconds and then makes the call. Templeton shows {J-Hearts} {7-Spades} for the straight and Porter mucks. Nathan Templeton wins the pot.
