Randall Routs Rahme

Raymond Rahme- Early Casualty
Raymond Rahme- Early Casualty

Our first player over 100,000 is David Randall. We just caught him scoop a big pot where he busted Raymond Rahme, who finished 3rd in the 2007 Main Event.

There was already 4,500 in the middle when we arrived to see the dealer fan out a flop of {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Rahme checked to Randall, who fired out 3,200. Rahme thought for about 15 seconds before tossing out three orange T,5000 chips, a raise to 15,000 total. It was back to Randall, and he grabbed his stack of oranges and dropped it into the middle, moving Rahme all in. He quickly made the call, and asked Randall if he had the eight. Randall shook his head, because he had something better.

Randall: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Rahme: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Randall had flopped a monster, and Rahme would need a miracle to catch back up. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds}, and the river came the {3-Clubs}. Rahme shook his head as he left the table, while Randall added to his already impressive stack. He is now easily the biggest stack in the room, sitting on a whopping 135,000.

Jacks For Black

With a raise to 600 from the cutoff and a three-bet from the button to 1,600 in front of him, Andy Black called from the small blind. The player in the cutoff called as well and the flop came down {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The action was checked around, landing the {10-Clubs} on the turn. Black bet 1,700, only one of his opponents called, and the {A-Hearts} hit the river. Both players quickly checked and Black tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, besting his opponent's holdings to win the pot.

Glazier's Comeback in Tan

We don't know how the action went preflop, but we do know Jackie Glazier was heads up against an unknown opponent with a {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop spread. Glazier checked and her later positioned opponent bet out 4,100. Action went back to Glazier who took her time before throwing out two orange chips for a raise, making it 10,000. It was the later positioned player's turn again and he took a minute or two measuring out his chips.

Eventually Glazier's opponent grabbed a stack of orange and yellow chips and place it in the middle. The bet was for all of Glazier's chips, and she snap called. Cards were turned over and things were deeply in Glazier's favor.

Glazier: {J-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Both players possessed sets, but it was Glazier's jacks that were superior. As long as Glazier could avoid a seven on the turn or the river she would get her double up.

The {k-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing, and neither did the {4-Spades} on the river. Glazier received her double up and is back up to a healthy stack early here at the Main Event.

David Williams Doubles

David Williams has just managed to double his short stack. The hand saw Williams three-bet all in after an opponent opened to 725. The player called and the cards were turned over.

Williams: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Williams was way ahead and it stayed that way as a {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} board was dealt on the felt. Despite doubling his stack, Williams is still in the need for some more chips.

Cunningham Cruising

When we arrived at Allen Cunningham's table, he was on the button and was committing 5,200 to the pot preflop, along with the player in the big blind. The dealer then turned over a {6-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop and Cunningham's opponent led for 4,700. Cunningham called and the {j-Clubs} landed on the turn.

This time Cunningham's opponent checked and then went into the tank when Cunningham bet 5,000. Eventually he opted to fold, sending the handy little pot to Cunningham.
