From Halfway out the Door to 100k

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Two players limped in early position, and a player in the hijack raised to 6,000. Alex Cameron pushed all in for about 50,000 from the small blind, and the second limper ended up making the call, while everyone else folded.

Cameron: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and Cameron eliminated his shorter-stacked opponent. Cameron, who just had a baby boy named Seamus with his wife, is over the 100,000 mark after he said he was down to 12,000 and considering going to play in a satellite.

Eng Induces a Bluff

Gordon Eng three-bet to 7,700 from the cutoff after a player opened in early position for 3,600. The early-position player made the call, and the two took in a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The early player check-called 8,200, and both players checked the {k-Diamonds}. On the end, the early player fired 17,300, and Eng immediately announced a call.

The early-position player tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

"What's that?" Eng asked, squinting across the table.

"Jack-high," the player said.

Eng tossed {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} into the middle, and he scooped a pot to go to about 126,000.
