Jameson Painter raised, and everyone folded. Over at the rail, there was cheering.
"Take it down, take it down, bravo! Pumpkiiiiiiinnnn!"
While play has been progressing at a steady pace on our final table, the Pumpkinites have been slowly trickling in.
We remember Painter's fan club from when he finaled the $2,000 Limit Hold'em event last year. Presumably they also made it out for his $2,500 2-7 final table last week, although we didn't witness that one in person. Either way, there are eight or nine avid Painter fans railing right now, all wearing orange and waving a banner that says "I Love Pumpkin". Some of them are wearing t-shirts bearing the legend "WWJRPD". Also railing, although not keeping with the color scheme, is Jimmy Fricke.
Painter raised it up the next hand as well and this time Georgios Kapalas called in the big blind to see a flop which he checked. Painter bet, Kapalas folded, and the rail got terribly excited.
"Yayyyyy!" came the chorus. "O-range, orange! Way to go, Pumpkin!"
Roberto Truijers raised under the gun and found himself facing a reraise from Matt Matros in the hijack. It folded back to Truijers who called, and they saw some more cards.
The action went Truijers check/ Matros bet/ Truijers call down every street of the board and Matros turned over some rather pretty . Truijers mucked and was down to 175,000.
Terrence Chan raised in the cutoff and Georgios Kapalas three-bet from the button. Chan called, and they were at the flop.
The action went check-bet-call all the way down the board, with various amounts of dwelling up from both players. When they turned the cards over, Kapalas' looked to be good, as Chan just mucked, dropping his chip leading stack to under 900,000.
Jason Potter must be a Star Trek fan as, despite constant threats on his tournament life, he's continuing to clingon. Just moments ago, Potter raised preflop, Terrence Chan three-bet, Potter four-bet and Chan called. Chan then check-called a bet on the flop, but folded when Potter moved all in for 23,000 on the turn.
Terrence Chan now has a monster chip lead with in excess of one million, which equates to over a third of the chips in play. Jason Potter remains the short stack with 75,000.
Jason Potter has hit some good form by winning two consecutive pots. On the first one, he raised under the gun and received one caller in Adrian Dresel-Velasquez in the big blind. On the flop, Dresel check-called one bet before checking down the turn. The river was also checked down (although hesitantly), allowing Potter to pick up the pot with pipping .
As the crowd applauded, Terrence Chan joked: "No, no, he missed some value bets there."
"Well, if Terrence Chan says so..." smiled Potter.
Moments later, Potter was in the mix once again, calling an under-the-gun raise from Roberto Truijers, who has, thus far, remained relatively quiet. The flop was and Potter check-raised before betting the turn. Truijers folded.
Potter - 225,000
Dresel-Velasquez - 365,000
Truijers - 255,000
