Event 2: Re-Buy Odds?

$300 + $50 NL (1 Re-Entry)

Rich Forte Enjoys Massage

Implied Odds...Pot Odds...how about Re-Buy Odds?

Rich Forte leads out, and two Opponents shove. The basketball coach of 10-12 year olds contemplates calling with A-J only because one opponent was short stacked and the other, for a half-hour, was just itching to re-buy. And Forte would still have 7,500 chips remaining.

Forte's A-J up against Paul Faynegersh's (Brooklyn, NY) A-Q and John Lee's (Westwood, NJ) K-Q.

Lee shouts out "King-Ball" again and again as the flop falls J-K-4.

The board bricks out.

Lee celebrates and scoops the pot as Faynegersh hurries off to re-buy.

Lee pulled out the "Blogger's Curse" claiming the last time we took his picture he busted out soon after. So we'll let him slide this time.

"No re-buy for me" said John who, as he neatly stacks the 15,000 pot, admitted he was very lucky.

We're now into Level 4 with 100-200 blinds.
Last chance to re-buy!
