Action on Table 386!

Chips have been flying early on here at the Amazon Room.

In a recent hand, after a series of preflop raises and re-raises, Chris Kahlie went all-in for his tournament life against James Blaszkiewizz. Blaszkiewizz, who made a deep run last year in this event, pondered for a bit but eventually made the call.

Kahlie: {Q-}{Q-}
Blaszkiewizz: {J-}{J-}

The board ran safe for Kahlie and he doubled up to about 5,700, leaving Blaszkiewizz with just over 1,000.

Soon after, Blaszkiewizz went all in preflop from the cutoff in late position and Drake called from the button.

Drake: {K-}{Q-}
Blaszkiewizz: {4-}{4-}

Board: {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} giving quads and the double up to Blaszkiewizz.

A while later, the player on the button limped and Drake raised to 400 from the small blind, which was enough to put the button player all in.

Drake: {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Button: {J-}{7-}

This time, it would be Drake who ended up quads as the board came {2-}{10-}{A-}{2-}{6-} eliminating the button player and chipping Drake up.
