Action Picks Up

Jun 30, '10

White Rivered in 9th Place ($36,287)

Adam White arrived at the final table as the chip leader, but after getting involved in some big pots early he found himself short on chips and all in for his tournament life against the always dangerous Owen Crowe.

In that hand, Crowe raised from middle position to 95,000, and White decided to reraise all in for 270,000 more. Crowe made the call and they showed their hands:

White: KJ
Crowe: 59

The flop missed both players, running 762 to keep White’s king high in the lead but provide Crowe with a straight draw.

The turn brought the 4 and Crowe had even more outs. The river didn’t provide Crowe with a straight, but it gave him the 9 to make a pair. Crowe took the pot and White was the first victim of the final table, finishing in 9th for $36,287.

Crowe had 2.8 million in chips following the hand.

Baekke Loses Flip, Out in 8th ($47,379)

Allan Baekke, the 2010 EPT Snowfest Main Event winner, was the next player to go.

When action folded to him in the small blind he moved all in for around 750,000. Shawn Busse looked down at his cards from the big blind and made the call. Their hands:

Baekke: KJ
Busse: 77

It was time for a coin flip. The flop ran 6Q2 and Busse’s sevens were still ahead. The turn was the Q, giving Baekke a flush draw. The highly anticipated river was the 6, and Baekke missed his outs. Busse’s two pair were best, eliminating Baekke in 8th place for $47,379.

Busse took a nice pot and the chip lead, with 3.3 million in chips.

Mann Runs Into Big Slick, Falls in 7th ($62,553)

After Owen Crowe raised to 90,000 from middle position Jason Mann moved all in from the big blind for 600,000. Crowe was quick to call and they showed down:

Crowe: AK
Mann: KQ

Mann’s hand was dominated and he found no signs of life on the 482 flop. The 3 on the turn left him dead to a queen and the 6 sent him packing on the river. His 7th place finish earned him $62,553.

Crowe soared into the chip lead with 3.6 million.

HUGE Hand

Oct 21, '08

David Frazee in the small blind and Jason Mann in middle position built a pot up to 35,000 preflop when a flop of A3Q was dealt on the table. Both players checked and after the 4 fell on the turn things got very interesting. Frazee opened the action with a bet of 50,000 and Mann reraised all in to quickly escalate things. Frazee made the call and he had Mann covered by 1,500. They turned up their hands and Frazee held 86, but Mann held J9 for an even better flopped flush. The river brought the 9 and Mann doubled up on the hand to become a massive chip leader with 828,000. Frazee was crippled with 1,500, which he will most likely move all in on the first hand after the break.
