For the third tournament in a row, 31 players battled for points in Foster City. This was the first
\ntournament directed by Cathy Seferi.
\nRicky Flora finished on-the- bubble.<\/p>\n

Ryan Drake had bet 4,200. But after Ricky went all-in and Bharad
\nParthasarathy called, Ryan folded. I did not make note of the hands… But I did note that, after the third 7
\ncame on-board runner-runner, Ryan literally jumped out of his seat.
\nAfter Sandi Sarmiento shoved all-in with AJ, Ryan called with pocket 10s, and Rob Reece called with AK
\nof Diamonds. Ryan\u2019s 10s held-up… Kudos to Sandi for finishing in 7th for 3 points! Out of the field of 31
\nplayers, only 3 were women.
\nThen it was Rob Reece vs Rob Astarita. The third time in-a- row that Rob R. went all-in, he got called by
\nRob A.\u2019s pocket 6s. Rob R.\u2019s pocket 8s made a full house, sending Rob A. home in 6th place with 7
\npoints.
\nNext out, in 5th place with 10 points, was Gerry Shebar. Gerry shoved with pocket 4s, but John Marsh\u2019s
\nAJ caught an Ace on the turn.
\nWith blinds at 1,000 and 2,000 and antes at 300, John\u2019s A8 rivered an 8 to double-up against Bharad\u2019s
\n(wait for it) pocket 7s; making John the chip leader.
\nBharad was eliminated with pocket Jacks… They couldn\u2019t stand-up to Ryan\u2019s AQ of Hearts when a Queen
\ncame on the river. Bharad\u2019s fourth place finish gave him 17 points, putting him in first place overall for the
\nseason.
\nRob R. was eliminated with pocket Jacks…… They couldn\u2019t stand-up to John\u2019s KQ. Rob scored 27 points.<\/p>\n

Ryan shoved with the 8 of Clubs and the 9 of Spades, with a gut-shot straight draw and a gut-shot flush
\ndraw.
\nBut when the last river card was dealt, John held all the chips. John\u2019s Q2, which flopped top pair, held-up.
\nRyan\u2019s second place finish earned him 39 points, which moved him to 3rd place overall.<\/p>\n

Congrats to John who picked-up 52 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
