Neilson Nails Greco

[user92162]

Daniel Neilson has crippled Michael Greco. Greco made a great start to the morning before clashing with Neilson in a huge pot.

We got there at the river, on a {10-Spades}

board. Neilson fired out 35,000 and Greco made the call. Neilson tabled {A-Hearts}

for an Ace high flush, something apparently that Greco didn't want to see, because he mucked.

Neilson now has 296,000. Greco drops to 19,000.

[user92162]

Tony Dunst will not be wanting to add more chips to Lunardi's stack

Kristian Lunardi has jumped out into the chip lead after playing a big pot against Tony Dunst.

We caught action on the river, with the board reading {7-Hearts}

. Lunardi had just fired out a 60,000 chip bet and Dunst was pondering the call.

In the end he opted to make the call, but mucked when Lunardi showed {Q-Hearts}

for trips.

Lunardi moves up to 365,000 and drops Dunst to 122,000 in the process.

Robert Wang's Elimination

[user92162]

Robert Wang was eliminated after opening to 5,500 with Michael Spilkin calling with position. The flop came {4-Spades}

and Spilken bet 11,000 which Wang check-raised all-in. Spilken called.

Spilken: {6-Diamonds}

Wang:

All look good for Wang, and the turn {8-Diamonds}

only left him feeling better about his hand. It wouldn't last though the {6-Clubs}

spiked the river to make Spilken a full house and eliminated Wang.

Vincent Van Der Fluit Busy

[user92162]

Vincent Van Der Fluit has been a little busy in the early going. After boosting himself up to 155,000 not long ago, he's crashed back to 80,000.

The latest recipient of Van Der Fluit's chips was Benjamin Alacam, who doubled through.

Preflop Alacam opened the button to 4,000 and was three-bet by Van Def Fluit in the small blind. Alacam made the call for 10,000 more chips, and the flop came {9-Spades}

.

Van Der Fluit fired out a 15,000 chip continuation bet and Alacam flat called with position.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds}

and Van Der Fluit decided to apply the pressure by setting Alacam all in. Alacam made the call with his {5-Spades}

, and would be up against a fair number of outs for Van Def Fluit's {A-Diamonds}

.

None of them got there, the {4-Clubs}

arrived on the river to double Alacam through to 125,000.

Van Der Fluit: {a-Spades}

Bertilsson: {a-Hearts}
