Sandness Forces Kuznia to Fold

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Mark Sandness and Brett Kuznia both put in what looked like 1,300 on a board of {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Sandness fired out 3,500 on the scary {j-Hearts} river. Kuznia tanked and sighed before announcing a fold, and Sandness didn't show his hand. The Mid-States Poker Tour Running Aces champion is looking to make it two-for-two in MSPTs in his home state this year.

Jore's Cowboys Oust One

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We didn't see the action, but Matt Jore got all in preflop against a shorter stack with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} against his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Jore's kings held when the board came {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

Rooster Has Reason to Crow Early

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Taylor Tollefson shoving all in for about 11,000 after a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Rooster Oien made the call.

Oien: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}
Tollefson: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Oien had flopped a pair and a gutshot, and he wasted no time getting there when the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn.

"That works," Oien said, as a meaningless {8-Hearts} completed the board to send the Mid-States Poker Tour Ho-Chunk fourth-place finisher to the rail.

According to Oien, he had accidentally reraised Tollefson and called a four-bet before the flop.

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Rob Wazwaz found himself drawing slim.
Rob Wazwaz found himself drawing slim.

On the button, Rob Wazwaz jammed for about 9,000 over a bet of 2,100 on a {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop from George Shabatura.

"Call," Shabatura said after about 20 seconds.

Wazwaz winced.

"You got anything?"

"Yeah," Shabatura said, showing {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}.

Wazwaz turned over {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for an inferior two pair, and a {j-Diamonds} made short work of him on the turn.

"You weren't supposed to have anything," Wazwaz said with a slight smile as he exited his seat.

Greenagel Doubles His Short Stack

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Judd Greenagel all in for 7,250 in the cutoff on a {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. His opponent, who had a bet of 3,125 in front, made the call, and Greenagel flipped {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flush to have his opponent dead to runner-runner. A {2-Hearts} turn cinched it for Greenagel, but he still has work to do to get back to the starting stack.

Steele's Top Two No Good

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Sami Saad El-Dein tanking against an all-in bet from Patrick Steele on a final board of {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Almost the moment we walked over, he stacked his chips and authoritatively slapped them onto the felt past the betting line.

Steele turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top two, but Saad El-Dein had it beat with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for bottom set.

Brett Kuznia and Larry Ormson both checked the turn with the board reading {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and a {5-Clubs} prompted a bet of 550 from Kuznia. Ormson double-checked his cards before tossing out a pair of yellow T1,000 chips. Kuznia quickly called, and Ormson tossed first the {8-Clubs}...then the {7-Clubs} face up into the middle.

"Nice hand, Larry," Kuznia said with a chuckle.
