Richard “Lee Nickel” Fohrenbach raised to 250 on the button and Alex Jacob called from the big blind. The flop came Q 4 3 with two clubs, Jacob checked, and Fohrenbach bet out 325. Jacob, who had just less than 2K left in chips repotted and Richard reraised enough to put him all in. Jacob called and showed A
A
while Fohrenbach held 4
4 for a set. The turn and river were no help to Jacob and he was eliminated. Richard is now up to 4.5K.
Steve Paul-Ambrose also took down a big pot in Level 2 when he moved all-in for 3.8K on a board of 2
5 5 Q T. His opponent made the call and mucked when Ambrose showed Q Q for the full house. He now has around 9K in chips.
Some other players who have been increasing their stacks during this level include:
Dan “Stainley88″ Adams (pictured at right) - 10K
Michael “BOBCATSPEGAL” Spegal - 8K
Leo “Superfluous Man” Wolpert - 7K
