Clisby Gets There

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Before the hand even began, big blind Chris Clisby said "I have a feeling this is going to be a big one." Sheldon Kent was second to act and he raised it up to 70,000.

"Didn't you hear me man?" Clisby joked.

"Do you want me to fold?" asked Kent.

"I don't know yet," replied Clisby as Drew Pirson called in the middle.

"I wasn't folding anyway," deadpanned Kent as the action go to Clisby.

He stopped giggling when he peeled his hand, and a few seconds later announced all in for 475,000. Kent quickly called which prompted Pirson to get out of the way.

It was pair over pair with Kent holding the rockets versus tens for Clisby, and it looked bad for Clisby all the way through the board of {4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, at least until the river when Clisby spiked his two outer to stay alive.

Ethan Ellis raised to 80,000 under the gun, Anders Prokopowich was next to act and moved all in from 465,000. The action got back around to Ellis who called.

Prokopowich: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Ellis: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Prokopowich spiked a king on the flop to take the lead {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. Ellis was unable to improve as the board ran out {8-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} to give Prokopowich the full double up.

Kent Misses the Board, Still Tanks

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

It folded to Dylan Ellis in the small blind, and he limped in. Sheldon Kent checked his option and the flop came {q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Both players checked to see the {k-Diamonds}, and they both checked again to see {3-Spades} on the river.

Ellis finally decided it was time to start betting, and he tossed 55,000 into the middle.

"I missed the board entirely," Kent said, without releasing his hand.

"You haven't folded yet though, replied Ellis with a chuckle.

Table chatter ensued as Kent finally released his hand. "Sheldon's just checking it down with top set waiting for Dyl to make a move," joked one player.

After the hand, Ellis revealed to PokerNews Canada that he rivered a set of threes.
