Event 1: Better Than Re-Entry

$350 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Sennon Sends it in, Quadruples Up

On the last hand of the level and the last chance to double-up before re-entry closes, Peter Sennon (Bronx, NY) ships the last of his 8,500 all in and gets two callers.

Sennon: AK
Player 2: 66
Player 3: J 8 sooooted

Flop: A A 9

Sennon hits trip aces and winds up with a quadruple up to more than 30k.

"That was the whole idea," says Sennon, who was prepared to re-enter. "This is better than that."

The extra 8,500 comes from a fourth player who called the original all-in bet, but folded for 10k more when a bigger stack reraised. Had the player stayed she would have knocked out Sennon by hitting a full house on the river.

Late registration and re-entry is closing as players are on break with the conclusion of Level 9 (400/800/75).
