The Big Kickoff opens the TCH Austin Summer Series with a single day $50k GTD on just a $300 buyin. At close of registration, 115 players remain out of 275 total entries, which generates a prize pool of $67,375. 35 places will be paid with the minimum cash being $480 and the final 9 collecting anywhere from $1,510 to the top prize of $15,125!
Close of Registration Frenzy
There were multiple all-in buttons being thrown out at table 28 just before close of registration. Picking up the action on the flop, there were two all in players with action on the side between Bobak Karamzadeh in the small blind and Alexander Wei on the button.
The 7♦4♣3♥ flop only brought a check and check back out of the two players.
The 6♠ turn was checked by Karamzadeh before Wei bet roughly a 1/3 pot with a bet of 20,000 which was called by Karamzadeh.
The 9♦ completed the board which Karamzadeh checked. Wei bet another 25,000 which was quickly called and Wei tabled 66 for a turned set. Karamzadeh tabled TT for a no good over pair and Wei eliminated the at risk players who held Q7 and KK.
This catapults Wei into a top 10 stack position at the close of registration.
Alexander Wei BTN 66 - 165,000
