Make that seven left. [yikes emoji?] Anthony Harris 1.1MMRuss Felter 1.5MMBruce Whitcomb 1.0MMChris Rutowski 1.5MMAaron Pinson 3.5MMMatthew Dillon 925KSteven Kaslov 1.1MMDaniel Bailey 1.6MMNoah Abramson 975K As I was gathering the above info and typing it… Rough counts with 9 left
Pinson’s pocket tens win flip against Angelo Rossi’s KQ to take us to the FT. Aaron has over a quarter of the chips in play, approx 3.55MM (59 BBs / 1.51MM avg)
Denise Allen did everything she could to ladder-up her short stack. Her last single big blind went in UTG+1 on the six-handed table with 11 left. Pinson tops off small and Bruce Whitcomb checks back… Bruce Whitcomb has Denise Allen drawing dead on turn
Chris Rutowski opens for a min-raise UTG in bb50K w/ 695K back. Denise Allen flats button and Matthew Dillon comes along from the small. Chris tanks hard before calling it off, covered after Thomas Curry… Rutowski takes stand, wins flip
Angelo Rossi moved in on the button for barely 6 BBs in bb40K. Very next hand he’s all in again and Denise Allen, also one of the shorter stacks remaining, covering, goes into the tank.… Rossi chips up
Nathan Bomey had AQ UTG and Dan Bailey made a set of fours from the small blind on an Ace-Hi flop. When I got to the table, I saw Nathan packing up to get paid… Dan Bailey makes a set, 13 left
Less than a week after a strong finish in the $600 NL, Russ Felter has almost double an average stack at 1.4MM in the bb30K level (~45 BBs). 15 players left on two tables. $16,150… Felter back at it with 1.4MM
Thirty minutes of 15K/25K/25K BBA to play before the break comes up.
I asked him what he did and he blamed the dealer. Dealer said something about 185K pre 3-ways. Sounds like Aaron flopped a set of Jacks and may or may not have been up against… Pinson nearly 3x avg at 1.5MM
Folds to Aaron Pinson in the small and he makes standard shove vs Thomas Karle in the big. Tommy has about 200K in bb20K after he reluctantly finds a fold. He plays enough tournaments here… Karle declines race against Pinson
