Truong Building The Stack

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tam Truong is back at the venue where he won the Summer Series 5k Challenge last December for just under $100,000 and he could continue his run at The Star if his chip stack continues to grow.

Truong was in a hand and he three bet to 2,600 after the under-the-gun position had raised to 1,200. The action folded to under the gun and he put out a four bet of 6,100. Truong then five-bet to 9,500 and under-the-gun made the call. The flop came {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the action checked to Truong who bet 5,000 and took down the pot. Truong has now moved up to over 60,000 in chips.

No More Bain Comeback

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The comeback is over for Tristan Bain as he has hit the rail.

We caught up with the action with Terence Clee betting 5,000 on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Bain announced all in and Clee immediately asked for a count. Bain had 14,750 total and Clee made the 9,750 call, which put Bain at risk.

Bain was ahead with the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but had to dodge a lot of outs as Clee was holding {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for an open ender and a flush draw.

The turn {J-Diamonds} sealed Bain’s fate as Clee hit his flush and the insignificant {A-Clubs} was on the river. Clee has now moved up to over 50,000 in chips.

Bhasin's Stack Falling

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Team PokerStars Online Roy Bhasin has fallen to just over 10,000 in chips.

Bhasin played out a hand against one opponent, going to the turn of a {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. It was clearly a three-bet pot and we arrived to find Bhasin's opponent check-raising to 3,200 on the flop after Bhasin had led for 1,500. Bhasin quickly called the bet before he was faced with a bet of 5,000 on the turn. This time Bhasin took his time and ultimately folded.

Young Half of His Peak

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Rory Young has lost half of his stack in a hand that had a player at risk.

The action started with a player limping from middle position. Young raised to 1,600 from the cutoff position and he was met by a three bet to 4,200 from the small blind. The big blind and limper got out of the way and Young made the call. The flop came {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the small blind bet out 5,500. Young put out 5,500 and saw the turn card of the {9-Clubs}. The small blind checked and Young stared at his opponent for a few moments before announcing he was all in. His opponent sighed and called his last 15,300 and turned over the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. He was the player at risk but was ahead of Young who showed the {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for an open ender. The {8-Diamonds} on the river was no help for Young who is now down to just over 25,000.

Addamo Falling

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Addamo’s struggles continue as he is down to 8,000 after losing a pot to an all-in player.

The action started with a limp from middle position before next to act raised to 700. Addamo was on the button and made the call and the action folded to the limper who also made the call. The flop fell {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and the preflop limper immediately shoved his last 3,500 into the pot. The raiser folded leaving Addamo to make the decision, he screwed his face as he made the call and turned over the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush draw and his opponent had the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for middle pair. The at-risk player had to fade any club, queen or nine to survive and earn the double.

The board ran {3-Diamonds}-{K-Hearts} and it was no help to Addamo as he had to watch his opponent rake in the pot.
