$560 Buy-In Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)

Level 11:  Blinds 600/1,200/200 ante

Before the blinds went up, on the river with a board showing , Tyler Patterson (utg) fired 25k, leaving himself with only 20k behind.

Glen Cressman tanked for a minute, saying “I don’t know what to do here”.   He counted out his chips a couple of times and eventually called, leaving himself only about 18k behind.

Tyler rolled over and Glen mucked.  The WSOP bracelet winner chipped up to about 123k with that pot.

“What would you have done if I shoved there?” asked Glen.  Tyler shook his head and said, “I don’t know, man.”

Glen finished 6th in the $500k Guaranteed opening event just a few days go, earning $35,831.
