Let 'Em Know in Cleveland!

Livello 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Brian Winter moved all in preflop and got defending champ Loi Hoang to fold, but then Chad Hall made the call right behind to put him at risk.

"Ahh, I need some help," the current RunGood player-of-the-year frontrunner sighed as he flipped over his cards.

Brian Winter: 8♥10♥
Chad Hall: A♥K♦

Indeed, Winter would need some help to stay alive, but the runout of J♥K♠4♠6♦A♣ failed to do so and he was sent to the rail while Hall raked in the pot.

"Let 'em know in Cleveland!" Winter told PokerNews on his way out, referring to the concurrent RunGood stop, where a certain POY contender is moving up the ranks.

Livello 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a heads-up turn of 4♣5♥7♣8♥, Preston McEwen checked to Hyun Lee who bet 22,000. McEwen made the call to see the 9♥ fall on the river and he decided to lead out for 43,000.

Lee paused for a second and then announced he was all-in, covering McEwen who went into the tank.

After several moments, McEwen decided to make the call but was then shown A♥2♥ by Lee for the backdoor stone-cold nuts while he showed 7♠9♣ for a rivered two-pair.

The pot was then shipped to Lee while McEwen exited the tournament area, vowing to return tomorrow.

Weatherly Moves Into Chip Lead

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After an open to 7,000 preflop, Truman Weatherly made the call but then the big blind three-bet to 18,000. Both players made the call and went three ways to a flop of 4♥7♦8♠. The action checked to Weatherly who led out for 50,000 and then the big blind check-raised all in for around 150,000. The other opponent hastily got out of the way but Weatherly snapped it off to put him at risk.

Big Blind: A♥K♥
Truman Weatherly: 4♣4♦

Weatherly was a massive favorite with his set of fours and the turn 8♥ left his opponent drawing stone dead as he improved to a full house. The river 7♥ gave his opponent a worthless flush as his chips were shipped over to Weatherly to make him the dominant chip leader with over half a million.

Livello 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of 7♠4♣4♠, Mick Scarbrough raised to 8,500 after another player led out for 2,000. George Younger made the call behind him while the original bettor decided to fold.

When the turn came the J♦, Scarbrough then moved all in, covering Younger, who couldn't get his chips in fast enough and proudly tabled 4♥4♦ for flopped quads.

"Wow! Nice hand," Scarbrough was stunned to see such a holding as the board completed with the 7♥ and Younger was awarded the pot for the double-up.
