1st Place @HPTPoker @Belterra - Sameer Al-Dbhany - $83,732

Sameer Al-Dbhany was chipleader early on Day 1C, building his stack up to more than 600,000 by the end of the day. He was definitely one of the most aggressive of the players throughout the entire Main Event. Al-Dbhany kept that chiplead through most of Day 2, coming to today's final table with 2 million more in chips than his nearest rival.

He briefly surrendered the chiplead to Frank Covich, then took down a massive pot with KK against the AK of Covich and A6 of Jacob Moore to gain 80 percent of all the chips in play 3-handed. Covich was eliminated by Mark Geith, setting up the heads-up action.

The final hand had Geith reraising preflop to 860,000 and Al-Dbhany calling. Al-Dabhany flopped top pair and snap-called the all-in by Geith, who was holding K♦️ J♥️. Gieth turned a flush draw but didn't get there and the tournament was over.

Al-Dbhany wins $83,732 for taking the HPT Belterra title, and he also gets a $3,600 HPT Championship package, coming out to Thunder Valley Resort in northern California in late October for that event.

The next HPT stop is Ameristar Kansas City April 8-18, see you there.

2nd Place @HPTPoker @Belterra - Mark Geith - $51,699

Sameer Al-Dbhani raises to 325,000, Mark Geith reraises preflop to 860,000 and Al-Dbhani makes the call. The flop is Q♦️ 5♠️ 7♦️, Geich moves all in and Al-Dbhani snap-calls.

Geith - K♦️ J♥️

Al-Dbhani - K♥️ Q♥️

The turn is 6♦️, giving Geith a flush draw, but the 9♣️ misses him and Geith is eliminated in 2nd place, earning $51,699

2.5 Milly ... to Not So Many

A LOUD yell from @HPTPoker @BBelterra Table 11 comes from Sameer Al-Dbhani as the table's two monster stacks - Al-Dbhani and Jesse McEuen smash into one another, getting all the chips in preflop in what looks to be close to a 4,000,000 pot.

Al-Dbhani - AA

McEuen - KK

is The flop 6♦️ J♥️ 5♥️  and Al-Dbhani yells out again, calling for a deuce. There's a 3♠️ turn an 9♣️ river, and a third cheer from Al-Dbhani. After this third cheer, McEuen - who had become the BigStack in a major clash with Ben Beighle an orbit earlier - has heard enough and he begins chirping at the new chipleader.

The players chirp back and forth at one another as the dealer counts out A-Dbhani's stack at 1,876,000, and the words escalate to yelling by both once the chips are gone from McEuen - leaving him with about 500k.

A quick string of obscenities comes from McEuen as he exits the tournament area and heads off on his 60-minute dinner break.

Facing 4 Bubbles

4 times at @HPTPoker @Belterra Main Event, Mike Sites faced a bubble, and he ended up running 2-for-4. Sites bubbled Day 1A, being the last player out before the bag-n-tag at the end of the night. Day 1B and Sites repeated the process, with 22 players advancing and he busted in 23rd.

Not to be deterred, Sites was back on Day 1C ... and this time he survived the end-of-night bubble, advancing to Sunday's Day 2 with 131,500 chips.

He's now batting .500 for the series as he made it through the most important bubble .. the money bubble ... and he's at 230,000 chips now.

2 Out on Bubble Lose $99 Each

Well, it could be worse, they both could be out $1100.

Small Gets Bigger

@HPTPoker @Belterra Day 1B chipleader Sean Small leads out for 12,000, John Shepherd moves all in from the cutoff and Small snap-calls the much shorter-stacked Shepherd.

Shepherd - K♦️ 9♦️

Small - Q♦️ 8♦️

Small catches top pair on the flop of T-Q-J, but that is a straight for Shepherd. The turn T gives Small a few outs to a boat, and the Q river gets him there, eliminating Shepherd in 55th place, breaking the table as well.

Sean Small - 510,000

Beth Locke is out at table 8 on the same hand, bringing the field to 54 players, and two more are gone before we post this.

450 for @VanessaRousso

Early in @HPTPoker @Belterra Day 2 we see Vanessa Rousso and Hobie Atkins mixing it up, with Rousso betting 15,000 on a 4♦️ 7♠️ J♦️ flop and Atkins making the call. Atkins leads out for 20,000 on the A♥️ turn, and Rousso doesn't look as though she believes that bet very much, so she makes the call. Both players check the 5♣️ river.

Rousso shows J-8, Atkins shows his cards only to Rousso, and mucks.

Vanessa Rousso - 450,000
