Rho, Rho, Rho Your Boat

Peter Rho and Jim Geary got involved, making it all the way down an {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} board. Rho bet 320,000 in the river and Geary made a tentative call -- but mucked when Rho turned over {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for a full house.

All Friendly, Like

Our first family pot -- no raising at all before all three players saw the {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} flop. Peter Rho checked to Geary who bet 125,000, and he was called by Anthony Harb. Rho passed.

Geary checked the {9-Clubs} turn, but then moved all in to a 200,000 bet from Harb. A swift pass, and the chips were his.

Adler Takes a Hit

Anthony Harb has taken down a 1.6 million pot -- Adler called his 400,000 bet on the river of the {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} board, and then mucked when Harb turned over {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}. Adler down to perhaps 1,800,000.

Rho's Awake!

Peter Rho's perked up. After taking down a pot a few minutes ago, reraising Jim Geary and making him fold preflop, he saw a {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} flop with Anthony Harb. They both checked it, and Harb checked the {3-Spades} turn too, then called 160,000 from Rho. Harb checked the {9-Hearts} river too, and then passed when Rho bet 200,000.

Geary Doubles Through Adler

Nice hat
Nice hat
Down to 545,000, Geary shoved from the small blind to a button raise from Adam Adler. A moment's thought, a call, and a showdown for Geary's tournament life.

Geary: {K-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Adler: {A-Spades} {6-Spades}

Board: {3-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Thus Geary is back up to over a million. It's become a real rollercoaster for him...
