Bogus Atop Counts

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Steele Sinking

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Patrick Steele can't seem to get any traction today. In one recent pot, he check-called a bet on the turn from Jarrett Jones on a board of {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Both players checked the {10-Diamonds} river.

"I have a ten," Steele said.

"So do I," Jones replied.

Jones had the better kicker with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} though, and Steele's {10-}{9-} was no good.

Gardner Harvests Some Chips

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Mike Gardner bet approximately 3,000 on a board of {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} against two opponents, one of whom had checked. Both players called, and Gardner bet 4,000 on the {6-Clubs} river when checked to. The player behind him folded immediately, but the small blind made the call. Gardner showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and dragged the sizable pot when his opponent couldn't beat it.

Gardner appears to be one of the early leaders here on Day 1b.

Weber Doubles

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Michael Weber
Michael Weber

We didn't see the action, but the dealer was counting down Michael Weber's stack of 8,650 so his opponent could double him up on a board of {k-}{7-}{7-}{9-}{3-}. That flop was a dream for Weber, since he had {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for trips against an opponent holding {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for top pair.

"That's Why They Call Me 'Wild' Bill"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
"Wild" Bill Romer
"Wild" Bill Romer

Three players checked to the cutoff on a {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, and he bet 3,300. Two players folded, but Bill Romer shoved all in and was quickly called.

Romer: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Cutoff: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

Romer had a cinch after the {5-Diamonds} turn.

"Course, you never know where I'm at," he said as he swept up the pot. "That's why they call me 'Wild' Bill."

Wilson's Small Shove Chases Jones

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jarrett Jones bet 1,600 on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, and Greg Wilson raised it up to 3,200. Jones called, and both players checked the {2-Spades}. The {2-Diamonds} hit the river, and Jones bet 4,500. Wilson counted out his stack before shoving for 7,300 total, and Jones thought briefly before opting to fold despite the price.

"I believe you," he said. "Two pair, no diamond."

Hickey Hooks One

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Ryan Hickey won a big pot with jacks.
Ryan Hickey won a big pot with jacks.

Ryan Hickey had 1,700 in front of him in middle position preflop, and a Mike Holm had made the call. The small blind put in about 9,000, and Hickey shoved all in. Holm folded, and the small blind quickly jammed as well.

"You have aces?" Hickey asked, concern in his voice.

The player showed {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

"That's what I thought you had," Hickey said, tabling {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}.

The jacks held when the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.
