Rockets Good for Nelligan

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Steven Sobel raised to 2,300 from early position before being greeted by a three-bet from Christopher Nelligan to 7,300 in the small blind. Sobel made the call.

The dealer spread a K2J flop, and Nelligan decided to bet 8,500, which got a fold from Sobel. Nelligan tabled AA. "I was hoping you had Ace-King," commented Nelligan.

"I really wanted to have King-Jack there," was Sobel's response.

Ostrander Rues Fold

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

James Mullaly went all in preflop from the button, and Peter Kiem made the call. Greg Ostrander had a decision, but ultimately folded his hand.

James Mullaly: 1010 All in
Peter Kiem: 55

Mullaly's hand held on a board of 4284J and he received a very important double up to keep himself afloat. Ostrander wasn't best pleased about having folded his pocket sixes, citing the side pot he could've won against Kiem.

Hicks Stays Alive....Just

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

David Metzger made a preflop raise from the hijack, and Eric Hicks made the call on the button, putting himself all in as he had only two big blinds left in his stack. The blinds got out of the way, and the cards were placed on their backs.

Eric Hicks: JJ All in
David Metzger: QQ

Hicks couldn't believe his luck as he had ran right into it at the point of elimination, but the flop 85J brought him hopes of staying alive in the tournament. The A7 runout secured him a more than triple up, as he picked up the blinds and ante, but with less than ten big blinds he will need to keep on spinning up to make a deeper run in this event.

King-High Good

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Reginald Roberts opened for 2,000 in the cutoff and got called by the button player, David Gonzalez, to see a flop.

The dealer fanned out A54. Both players checked. The turn 10 fell and Roberts led out with 3,000 and got called once again.

The river 8 went check-check. Roberts showed KJ for king-high. Gonzalez mucked conceding the pot to Roberts.

Vedat Deviren: JJ All in
Danette Smith: QQ

The board ran favorably for Smith with 9K8Q2, and Smith won with her set of queens.
