Mike Newman

A short-stacked Mike Newman got his last 68,000 all in from early position and Jerry Humphrey, who was next to act, looked him up.

Humphrey: Ad10d
Newman: QdJs

Newman was behind but was drawing to two live cards, one of which he found when the flop came down 3c5hJc. Neither the 5c turn nor 7s river changed a thing and Newman doubled up.

Mike Newman – 150,000 (13 bb)
Jerry Humphrey – 670,000 (56 bb)

Jerry Humphrey

Mike Newman moved all in from the hijack and Jerry Humphrey called off for 180,000 from the cutoff. The button and blinds all folded and the hands were turned up.

Humphrey: AsJh
Newman: 3d3h

It was a flip but not after the flop came down 4s5sJs to give Humphrey a pair of jacks. The Jd turn made it trips and he scored the double after the Qh was run out on the river.

Humphrey then turned that 360,000 into twice as much doubling through Chance Kornuth a short time later.

Jerry Humphrey – 750,000 (63 bb)
Mike Newman – 68,000 (6 bb)

Scott Robbins limped under the gun and James Manis raised all in for 48,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Robbins and he called.

Robbins: AhJd
Manis: Ad10s

Manis said he wanted to use his “one time” but it fell on deaf ears as the board ran out 3cQh5c5dJh.

Scott Robbins – 170,000 (17 bb)
James Manis – Eliminated in 38th place for $2,771

Kornuth: Kd4d
Robbins: As7d

Robbins got it in good and was rewarded with a double when the board ran out Jc5d5s9cQc.

Stanley Lee

Marvin Rettenmaier opened for 17,000 under the gun and Mike Hallen, who was next to act, moved in for around 95,000. Stanley Lee then jammed over the top from the button for 240,000, both blinds folded, and Marvin Rettenmaier got out of the way.

Hallen: AcKc
Lee: 10s10d

It was a flip but Hallen, who was the at-risk player, needed to improve to stay alive. That proved easier said than done as the board ran out an unhelpful 8hJd5d9d4c.

Stanley Lee – 360,000 (45 bb)
Mike Hallen – Eliminated in 59th place for $2,195
