Jeff “jeffboski” Sluzinski got involved in a battle of words with a player at his $2,000 No Limit Hold’em table, and ended up being an unfortunate victim of a cooler against the same player. Sluzinski (pictured left) and his nemesis built a pot of nearly 24K preflop, Sluzinski having him covered but his A
K
trailing KK
. The J52
flop looked bleak for Jeff but he picked up a flush draw when the 6 landed on the turn. Adam “akat11″ Katz and a few others walked over to watch the 7 fall on the river, leaving Sluzinski with a mere 2K at the 150/300 level.
A couple tables over, Dan “Wretchy” Martin tripled his stack to 18K when won a three-way all in preflop. With the blinds at 150/300, a player raised to 1,500 under the gun and the button flat called. Martin moved in for 4,600 more and both players called, with the under-the-gun player showing 9-9 and the button 6-6. Martin’s hand managed to hold up as he made a flush on the river and he is now well above the average stack.
With 650 players still alive and the average stack at 12K in Level 6, here are some notable chip counts in Event #48:
Eric “jakz101″ Crain - 50.5K (pictured right)
Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson - 40K
Dan “voff” Deveau - 31K
Jason “JCarver” Somerville - 25K
Danny “MrRadditz” Radditz - 24K
Scott “ssitron” Sitron - 15K
Peter “Nordberg” Feldman - 14K
David “DavidP18″ Peters - 13K
Thayer Rasmussen - 12.5K
Jeremy “Chipsteela” Menard - 12K
Adam “akat11″ Katz - 12K
Stu “thedonator” Paterson -11K
Garrett “GBecks” Beckman - 10K
Bryan Micon - 10K
Eric “basebaldy” Baldwin - 10K
Jeff “YoungSupremacy” Hakim - 9.5K
Carter “ckingusc” King - 7.5K
Noah “fouruhaterz” Schwartz - 7K
Steven “MrTimCaum” O’Dwyer - 7K
Jon Wein - 6.5K
Jeff “crzysavage” Gressard - 4K
Tim “TMay420″ West - 3.7K
Brent “bhanks11″ Hanks - 2K
Scott “SCTrojans” Freeman finished fourth in the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em w/Rebuys event for $223,572. Freeman was eliminated by Rene Mouritsen when he re-shoved a button raise by Mouritsen from the big blind with A7 and walked right into Rene’s AK. The board didn’t help Freeman, who was somewhat disappointed with his fourth-place finish but overall happy with his play during the three days.
