Bevis is No Butthead

We arrived at the table to see the player in the big blind bet out 2,500 with a board reading {8-Spades}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, forcing a fold from his opponent in middle position. Adam Bevis in the cut-off made the call to see the river fall the {2-Diamonds}. The aggressor bet out 3,500 and Bevis sat there, contemplating his decision. He made the call and tabled his {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight, which was good against his opponents {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

“I’m such a nit,” said Bevis, scooping up the pot. A missed opportunity perhaps for Bevis, as he moves up to 50,000 in chips.

Watt a Big Slick

The action was caught with a player in middle position checking on a board reading {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Simon Watt made a bet, which was called. The turn came the {9-Spades}, and Watt’s bet of 2,700 was again check-called. The {7-Hearts} came on the river and Watt’s opponent check-called for the third time, this time for 3,000.

Watt showed {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, which brought an instant muck from his opponent. He moves up to 40,000 in chips .

Huang No More

Bryan Huang was recently seen walking past the media desk, after being eliminated from the tournament. The PokerStars Team Pro was nursing a very short stack for the last few levels, after a big hand earlier in the day. He was unable to find a double-up, as he hits the rail just short of the halfway point of today’s play.

Aston Scares Off Opponent

With the board reading {5-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades}, Anthony Aston bet out 3,600 and found a quick call from the player in middle position. The turn came the {5-Diamonds}, and Aston didn’t hesitate in throwing in his remaining 11,700 in chips. His opponent wasn’t as keen to commit the same amount, and mucked his cards.

Aston moves back above the starting stack, sitting with 26,000 in chips.

Walker Crushes Kings

We just walked past Keith Walker’s table to see him rake in a huge pot. We found out that he and another player both got all their chips in on a flop showing {2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Walker held {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} and was up against pocket kings. When the {8-Spades} and {5-Spades} completed the board, it would be the set of deuces that double Walker to 60,000.

Yates Doubles

Action folded around to Matty Yates in middle position who opened with a bet of 1,000. When the decision came to his opponent in the big blind, he thought for a minute, before committing his stack into the middle. It had Yates covered, who called, placing his last 9,350 in the pot and tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. He was behind to {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, and didn’t improve when the flop fell {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The turn, however, spiked the {K-Spades} to put Yates in front, and with the river dropping the {2-Hearts}, it assured he doubled his stack to 19,000 in chips.
