Big Hands:
Lasse Peterson Happy to Have the Worst Hand?
Lasse Peterson pushed his remaining 125,000 in chips all in from early position, and the action folded to the player in the big blind. He looked at one of his hole cards and reported what he saw to Peterson. “The first one’s really dirty,” he remarked, adding that there were few possibilities for his second card that would compel him to call Peterson’s all in. After looking at the mystery card, he sighed and asked the dealer for a count of Peterson’s stack. He deliberated heavily before making a decision, trying desperately to get a read out of Peterson. “I call,” he finally said and turned over A
8
. Peterson gave an excited outburst when he saw his opponent’s hand, happy to know that his 97 consisted of entirely live cards. The KJ
2
flop didn’t help Peterson, but the 7 on the turn gave him a pair and the lead. The meaningless 9 on the river meant that Peterson remains alive in the event.
Dan Bowman Outdraws Against Big Slick, Eliminates Opponent
After opponent Kirk Danna pushed all in from early position, Dan Bowman was put to the test in the big blind. Feeling that he was pot committed, Bowman made the call with K2 and was highly disappointed to see Danna turn over AK. The 1082 flop was favorable to both, giving Bowman a pair of deuces and Danna the nut flush draw. Danna was the favorite at that point, but the 3 on the turn and 2 on the river sent Danna to the rail in 28th place.
The remaining 27 players redrew for new seat assignments and continued the level.
