Event 1 - Level 25 - All-In Always Wins 1 year ago

It seems we may be destined for an extended period of four-handed play at this final table. While there's no shortage of all-ins, so far at least the players at risk have managed to stay alive.

Gimme Four!

Here's a look at the stacks of the final four, courtesy of www.worldseriesofpoker.com.

Andy Bloch $2,750,000
Nenad Medic
$2,720,000
Kathy Liebert
$1,200,000
Mike Sexton
$360,000


PokerKat Must be Running Out of Lives

Kathy Liebert got very lucky yesterday to make it to this final table and it seems her run of good fortune will continue. A moment ago we saw her all-in bad, at risk of elimination, before catching the cards she needed to stay alive and take a bite out of Andy Bloch’s chip lead.

The hand began with Bloch opening to $200,000 and Liebert moving all-in from the big blind for around $600,000. Bloch made the call and saw he was in great shape with Ah Qc against Kat’s Ac 7d. The flop gave Liebert some hope, coming 6d 5h 3h, and the turn completed the miracle with the 4h but gave Andy the nut flush draw.

The redraw wasn’t in the cards, however, and Liebert doubles to around $1.2 million.

Medic!

Canadian Nenad Medic , who took down a World Poker Tour title on Season 6, just got himself back in this thing with a well-timed double-up.

Mike Sexton opened the hand in question to $215,000 from the button and Medic re-popped to $765,000. Sexton moved all-in and Medic made the call. When the cards were on their backs we saw it was a race between Sexton’s pocket tens and the Canuck’s Ac Js.

The board came down Ah 6s 3c and Medic took a big lead. The Ad on the turn didn’t change much but the Qs on the river sealed the deal. Medic is now on $2.7 million while Sexton is down below $500,000.

Event 1 Final Table - PokerKat Moves Up! 1 year ago

Kathy Liebert raises to $150,000 from the small blind and Andy Bloch re-raises to $245,000 in the big blind, enough to put Liebert all-in. The PokerKat makes the call and shows Ah Tc to Bloch’s Qs 3c, and the board comes Ac 8s 4s 6d 9h and Liebert doubles to $465,000.

Liebert Doubles Through Medic

Kathy Liebert raises to $175,000 and Nenad Medic re-raises to $375,000. Liebert calls all-in and turns up Kc Th to Medic’s Ac 8s. The flop comes Qs 7h 5h and Medic retains the lead, but after the turn card is the 5c the river is the Ts and the PokerKat spikes a miracle ten to double through Medic and boost her stack to over $1 million.

Bloch Takes a Bigun!

Andy Bloch raises to $180,000 and Mike Sexton makes the call in the big blind. The flop comes Kh Jd 7c and both players check. The turn is the 5d and Bloch bets out $250,000. Sexton flat-calls and the river is the 5s, prompting another $250,000 from Bloch and another call from Sexton. The Full Tilt Poker pro shows Ks 9h for kings-up and it’s good for the pot.
