"golden13" Knocks Out Two

In Level 5 with blinds of 400/800 and an ante of 100, "Tausug" jammed for 13,050 under the gun and action folded around to the big blind, where "golden13" called.

"Tausug": {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
"golden13": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} to put "golden13" out in front with a pair of kings, where they would stay as the turn {7-Spades} and river {2-Spades} completed the runout and eliminated "Tausug" from the tournament.

Moments later, another pot was shipped to "golden13" after stacks got in and they eliminated "JakeTheSnake99" to bring their stack over six figures.

"pup33" Wins With Turn Raise

In Level 4 with blinds of 300/600 and an ante of 75, five players put 1,500 each into the middle preflop to see a flop of {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

"Gohednpopoff" checked in the small blind to put action on "FooQuan" in the big blind, who bet 600. A fold was made and then "pup33" and "BigKev5422" called in the hijack and cutoff, respectively.

Four went to the turn {a-Clubs} and "Gohednpopoff" checked. "FooQuan" bet another 600 and "pup33" raised it up to 12,300. "BigKev5422" quickly folded and "Gohednpopoff" folded behind.

Action was then back on "FooQuan," who thought for a couple of moments before clicking the fold button to give up contention of the hand, resulting in "pup33" taking down the pot with their turn raise.

"mrunicorn88" Over 200,000

"mrunicorn88"
"mrunicorn88"

"mrunicorn88" quickly amassed a pile of chips more than three times the size of a starting stack as "SkRiLLAA" and "Monkee" became the first two eliminations of the tournament.

Moments later at the beginning of Level 3 as blinds became 250/500 with an ante of 60, "alwaysliquid" raised to 2,000 in the small blind over a limper and saw "mrunicorn88" three-bet to 4,800. Stacks eventually got in between the two and hands were shown.

"alwaysliquid": {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
"mrunicorn88": {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

No sweat came for "mrunicorn88" as the board ran out {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to result in their queens up scoring another knockout to take their stack over 200,000 before the first break of the tournament.

In 2001, he finished third in the WPT Borgata Poker Open for $335,433, and last year he finished fifth in the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open Main Event for $202,942. He also finished fourth in the 2012 WPT bestbet Jacksonville for $94,624.
