It’s been a bit of a white-knuckle ride for Kurt Jewell this evening, as his stack has been bouncing between about 500,000 and 2,000,000. He made the wavy-hand motion, the universal signal for this phenomenon, the last time we walked past, and he had been trending upward at the time. His most recent trend is in the opposite direction, though.

In a recent pot, Ross Ramlal opened with a raise in early position, Jewell called in the cutoff, and the small blind called to create three-way action.

The flop was . The small blind checked, and Ramlal moved all in for 650,000. Jewell spent a couple minutes deliberating before calling to put Ramlal at risk, and the small blind folded out of the way.

Ramlal:
Jewell:

Ramlal’s trips had him two cards from a double, and he got it as the turn and river completed the board.

Ross Ramlal – 1,675,000 (42 bb)
Kurt Jewell – 1,725,000 (43 bb)

Josh Robins made it through the Day 1B flight with 52,000 chips — a productive effort from a 20,000-chip starting stack but nothing to write home about. Today’s restart has been something else, though. As the field shrinks to six tables, Robins sits with more than four million chips and a significant lead over the chase pack.

Robins’ most recent increase came at the expense of Elad Sisso, and the pot began with the former opening to 70,000 in early position. Sisso three-bet shoved for 440,000 across the table, and Robins called to put him at risk.
