Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad opened to 1,400 from middle position, and an opponent three-bet to 3,700. She grabbed a stack of yellow T1,000 chips and shove them in the middle, essentially putting her opponent all-in. He quickly called tabling and she turned over .
Obrestad flopped a gut-shot and a backdoor flush draw when the dealer fanned , but couldn't find running hearts or a jack on the turn or river.
Jason Gray opened to 1,350 from early position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who three-bet to 4,100. The action went back to Gray who paused for a bit before four-betting all-in. His opponent quickly called and the hands were tabled:
Gray:
Opponent:
The flop fell and Gray sadly shrugged, not knowing that the would spike on the turn.
"Whoa!" Gray exclaimed.
The on the river gave Gray a full house for kicks and grins and he eliminated his opponent while also chipping up to 40,000.
At dinner break, there were over 800 people left. With 15 minutes to go in Level 8, the board reads 540 remaining. Can we get down to 270 from 2,563 in just 10 levels? It could very well happen...
Liv Boeree raised to 1,500 under the gun and action folded to the player on the button. He made it 5,500 to go and both blinds folded. Boeree called and the flop ran out .
Boeree checked and her opponent shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, and after a little while bet 6,000. Boeree thought momentarily, before folding face up.
Her opponent tabled and said, "I just had to see where you heart was."
Andrew "luckychewy" Lichtenberger raised to 1,500 in middile position and the next player to act went all in for 7,175. Lichtenberger wasn't thrilled, but made the call and tabled .
His opponent flipped over and won the hand when the board came down . Lichtenberger slipped to just under 9,000.
Action folded to a short-stacked player on the button who moved all-in for his remaining 6,575. Eugene Todd "Bro" threw his hands up and slipped his Beats By Dre off of his ears.
He thought for a moment or two, chomping on the unlit cigarette in his mouth, before re-shoving all-in. The big blind quickly released and the hands were tabled:
Todd Bro:
Shorty:
The board ran and Todd Bro won the race, chipping up to 28,000.
"I can't say I was rooting for you," tablemate Bryan Micon needled. "But it's out of respect."
