Ryan Sent Packing

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

TJ Ryan shoved all in for 7,225 from the small blind after Roberto Delarmente opened to 1,275 on the button. Delarmente called, and he was slightly ahead with {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} against {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Ryan was unable to improve as the board came {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, leaving ace-high as the winning hand.

Ryan was attempting to win his second Mid-States Poker Tour event, but that will have to wait. He pocketed $39,243 for winning an event in 2013.

Richard Idrovo just bought in and was given a seating assignment. Moments later, we found him all in for just under the starting stack of 20,000 on a board of {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. A player had bet 2,800 from middle position and been called by the big blind, and that's when Idrovo shoved from under the gun. The middle player jammed as well, and the third player folded.

Idrovo: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

Idrovo was fading spades, but the {10-Hearts} gave his opponent a few extra outs. A red {2-Hearts} was a harmless river though, and Idrovo couldn't have asked for a better start.

Poignant Doubles on River

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Harold Poignant shoved all in for 5,625 after an under-the-gun raise to 1,200 and a call. The raiser folded, but the caller looked Poignant up.

Poignant: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Poignant got out of his seat as the flop came {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, but the {7-Hearts} gave him extra outs with a straight draw. The {9-Spades} river did gave him a pair of nines to double up.

Bill Romer was in the big blind when he check-called 3,000 from David Snitkin on a flop of {5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Romer check-called another 10,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn, and Snitkin put him all in on the {a-Hearts} river for about 13,000. Romer mucked at that point.

Snitkin Boots Shorty

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

A player with only about 6,500 shoved all in from the big blind on a {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. David Snitkin was under the gun, and he put 20,000 in the pot, forcing the player behind them to fold.

Snitkin: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Big blind: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Snitkin had total control with a better top pair and a nut flush draw. The {7-Diamonds} and {5-Diamonds} completed the board, and he took the pot.

Tan Nguyen opened for 1,250 in the cutoff, and Jason Martens reraised to approximately 2,800 in the small blind. Nguyen shoved all in, and Martens called for about 10,000.

Nguyen: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Martens: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

It was Marten grabbing the lead as the flop came {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and his aces stood as the turn was a {7-Diamonds} and the river a {6-Hearts}.
