Big Hands:
Lasse Peterson Eliminates Another
Lasse Peterson raised from middle position and faced a reraise from the Matt Tully in the small blind. The big blind moved all in for around 70,000 in chips. After deliberating, Peterson reraised enough to put Tully all in as well. After deliberating heavily, Tully released his hand. “Jacks,” Peterson told the all in player from the big blind as he turned over J
J
. The big blind showed 44
, and the board failed to improve his hand. Peterson finished the hand with over 470,000 in chips.
Nadim Shabou Stays Alive, Enjoys a Massage
While receiving a the services of one of the Rio’s table masseuses, Nadim Shabou pushed his remaining 25,000 in chips into the pot from middle position pre-flop. The action folded to the big blind who quickly called and turned over K
Q. It was a coin flip race against Shabou’s 44, but the 96532 board brought a straight for Shabou who doubled up to stay alive.
Dan Bowman’s Cowboys Good For an Elimination
After putting his opponent all in pre-flop, Dan Bowman turned over KK, a strong favorite over his opponent’s 1010. The board ran KQ863, and Bowman’s set of kings was good for a large pot. Although Bowman started the day with only 41,300 in chips, that hand increased his stack to just around 200,000.
Matt Tully Survives Being Dominated
After getting the last of his chips into the pot pre-flop against an opponent, Matt Tully turned over A6 and was disappointed to see his opponent flip over AQ. Fortunately for Tully, the board came A7623, and Tully’s two pair won the pot.
