Six Levels of Fun

[user46298]

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The full complement of players has returned to the felt eager to get back to the game. Some are more antsy than others, though - several smaller stacks have already taken their shots at doubling through in the first two hands of the day. Success all round, it appears.

First up was Dwayne Stacey, British PokerStars qualifier, who took his {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} up against {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} . He had to wait all the way to the river: {4-Spades} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} ... {A-Diamonds} to receive his double up to 70,000 which he took silently with no display of emotion.

Contrast and compare, if you will, Andre Petrovic whose very short stack found its way in with {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} also vs. {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} . His board came out a flushy {J-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} ... {4-Clubs} ... {10-Clubs} which brought forth a shout of, "BOYA! BRAVO!" That represents more display of emotion than we've seen for nearly two days.
