Kinealy Leaves Obe Short With Call

Jeff McMillan

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The board read 10♠K♠2♦6♦Q♠ on the river. Jeremiah Kinealy was put to the test as he had to make a choice for his final 26,500 as Al-Farouk Obe had jammed all in into a pot of about 40,000.

Kinealy thought about it for quite a while before eventually tossing in a one-chip call. Obe tabled the A♥10♥, and Kinealy tabled the A♣J♣ for broadway.

Obe laughed when he saw the strength of Kinealy's hand and shook his head as he was left with a few big blinds.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Marshall raised to 1,800 in middle position before Luis Rodas moved all in for around 25,000 in the cutoff. Marshall quickly called once action folded back to him.

Luis Rodas: J♥J♣ All in
David Marshall: A♠K♠

Rodas needed to win the coin flip to stay alive, but the 9♠8♣K♥ flop gave Marshall top pair and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 7♥3♠ to end Rodas' Main Event.

After the hand, Rodas handed table neighbor Tom Dwan, who had only just taken his seat at this table, a miniature waving cat figurine as a parting gift.

Keanon Simon opened the action with a raise to 2,000 from the cutoff before Alexandre Barbarabelli three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff. Simon came along to see a flop.

The dealer put out K♠J♦10♦ and Barbarabelli fired 4,000. Simon called.

Action went check-check on the K♣ turn and 3♦ river. Simon flipped over A♣10♥ and it was good enough to scoop the pot, adding to his table leading stack.

Becker Chipping Up

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three players saw the flop of 3♦A♥6♣ come down. They all checked it to the turn where the 10♥ came off. It was checked again to the river which paired the board with the 10♣.

Last year's Main Event fourth place finisher Jan-Peter Jachtmann bet 4,000 from the small blind. Jeremy Becker raised to 11,800 from the big blind, which got Kazuomi Furusa to fold in the cutoff. Jachtmann also gave it up quickly to send the pot over to Becker, who has chipped up in the first half of Level 6.

Jeremy Becker	137,000 50,000	50,000
