Hand #36 - Devin Porter

[user75032]

Anatoly Shilyuk has the button in Seat 5. John Conkright raises to 35,000 from under the gun. Shilyuk makes the call before the big blind, Devin Porter, moves all in for a total of 336,000. Conkright glances to his left at Shilyuk, clearly concerned about what hand Shilyuk might be holding to have called the initial raise. He follows that with a glance at Porter, the all-in player, makes a pained face and then shakes his head slightly before making the call. He has Porter covered. Shilyuk folds and the hands are opened:

Conkright: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Porter: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

A board of {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} {J-Clubs} makes a set of jacks for Porter. He doubles up at John Conkright's expense.

An Understandable Distraction

A mild pandemonium just broke out in the area adjacent to the Milwaukee's Best Final Table area here in the corner of the giant Amazon Room. At first it was unclear as to what caused the uproar, but it soon became clear...the Belmont Stakes. It's no secret that a gambler's passions go well beyond poker. Billiards, sports betting, and or course, the occasional bet on a horse race are all part of the typical gamber's income. In case you were wondering, Da' Tara wins the Belmont Stakes, preventing Big Brown from becoming the first horse in 30 years to win the Triple Crown.

Hand #35 - Anatoly Shilyuk

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3 and he raises to 36,000. Anatoly Shilyuk moves all in from the small blind. Action folds back around to Porter who also tosses his cards in. Anatoly Shilyuk wins the pot.

Hand #34 - Rep Porter

John Conkright has the button in Seat 2. Everyone folds to Rep Porter in the small blind, who raises to 36,000. Anatoly Shilyuk makes the call from the big blind.

The flop is {Q-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Porter checks as first to act, and Shilyuk checks behind. The {5-Spades} hits the turn. Porter now bets 46,000. Shilyuk deliberates briefly before calling. On a river of {Q-Diamonds}, Porter bets 68,000. Shilyuk goes into the tank. He cuts 68,000 off of his stack and counts how much he would have left if he loses this pot. He glances at Porter, who is eyeing him suspiciously. Finally, after two minutes, Shilyuk folds.

Hand #31 - Nathan Templeton

Anatoly Shilyuk has the button in seat 5 and he raises to 35,000. The small blind, Nathan Templeton, reraises to 95,000. Action folds back around to Shilyuk and he asks for a count on Templeton's remaining chips. After inaudible chatter between the two, Shilyuk finally passes and Nathan Templeton wins the pot.
