Level 19:  8,000/16,000 Limits
Players Remaining:  6 of 88

Three players made it to the river with a fairly big pot and the board showing . Chris Kennedy checked the big blind, and James Toole bet 16,000 from under the gun.

Andy Edgington was in the cutoff with only 4,000 left in his stack, but he went into the tank.

“I know I’m beat,” said Edgington.

Edgington thought for a while before he folded, preferring to be forced all in on the next hand rather than calling in this spot. Kennedy called, saying there was too much in the pot for him to lay down his hand.

James Toole:    (nine-high straight, 8-7 low)
Chris Kennedy:    (queen-high flush, no low)

Toole and Kennedy split the pot, and Edgington said he couldn’t beat either the high or the low, so he would have been eliminated if he had called.

Andy Edgington  –  4,000  (<1 BB)

The next hand, Edgington was forced all in from the small blind for 4,000, and he didn’t bother looking at his cards. Amie Martini limped under the gun for 8,000 (the blinds were 4,000-8,000), Chris Kennedy limped from the cutoff, and Anthony Angerami completed the small blind.

The flop came , and it checked to Kennedy, who bet 8,000. Angerami folded, and Martini called.

The turn card was the , and both players checked.

The river card was the , Martini checked, Kennedy bet 16,000, and Martini called.

Chris Kennedy:    (ace-high straight, no low)
Amie Martini:    (two pair, 8-5 low)

Kennedy and Martini split the side pot, and looking at the board, Edgington told the players on his side of the table he’d love to have “queen-ten-four-five” in this spot.

Edgington slowly turned over his cards one at a time, seeing his own hand for the first time — the , the , and the . At this point, Edgington was thrilled to have a wheel, so he clinched the low side of the pot to stay alive.

Almost as an afterthought, Edgington turned over his final card — the !

Andy Edgington:    (ace-high straight, wheel low)

Edgington ended up with the perfect hand, just as he requested — the nut high and the nut low. So he won 3/4 of the main pot, splitting the high side with Kennedy.

Andy Edgington  –  12,000  (<1 BB)

Edgington got it all in preflop from the small blind on the next hand in a multiway pot, watching the final board come . There were no possible lows, and Edgington turned over to win the entire pot with a flopped full house, eights full of threes.

Andy Edgington  –  36,000  (2 BB)

Edgington went on to slowly build up his chip stack from there, and while he’s short, he’s been treading water for nearly half an hour as he stays alive.

With six players remaining, the average chip stack is about 176,000 (11 big bets). The next player to bust will earn $1,515.

Todd Wilkins was short-stacked and all in preflop from the hijack in a four-way pot.

The three other players checked to the turn on a board of , and it checked to Anthony Angerami, who bet 12,000 from under the gun. Chris Kennedy called from the small blind, and James Toole called from the big blind.

The river card was the , so there would be no possible lows. Kennedy checked, and Toole bet 12,000. Angerami and Kennedy both folded. Toole took the side pot.

James Toole:    (ace-high flush)
Todd Wilkins:    (king-high straight, no low)

Wilkins finished with a king-high straight, but it wasn’t enough against Toole’s nut flush. Toole won the pot to eliminate Wilkins in seventh place.

Todd Wilkins  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($1,218)

With six players remaining, the average chip stack is about 176,000 (15 big bets). The next player to bust will earn $1,515.

Dawn Weaver moved all in from middle position for 12,000, James Toole called from the hijack, Todd Wilkins called from the small blind, and Amie Martini called from the big blind. Any further betting would create a side pot.
