Milan Gurung
Milan Gurung

Folded to Troy Harris in the small blind, Harris min-raised to 20,000. Milan Gurung then moved all-i from the big blind and Harris made the call, putting his tournament life at risk.

Harris: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Milan: {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Give me an R! Give me an A! Give me a C!.. You get the point.

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Milan catching good and sending Harris home.

Pauchon Builds Back

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The rollercoaster ride for Yann Pauchon began three hands ago. It all started when Pauchon had a player at risk, Pauchon holding {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} on the cut-off against Steven Jones, holding {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} on the button. Pauchon had his opponent covered by around 30,000. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. A devastating king on the turn, leaving Pauchon crippled.

The next hand Pauchon managed to double-up, with {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} holding up against the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} of Scott Montgomery. Pauchon then had 70,000.

A few hands later and Pauchon was all-in against Justin Cohen. Cohen held {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Pauchon {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds} on the flop enough for Pauchon who now has a much healthier 170,000.

Montgomery Leads

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We have a new chip leader!

Folded to Scott Montgomery in late position, he made it 26,000. With play now on John Overbeek on the button he popped it to 56,000. Montgomery tanked.

"How much do you have?"

His opponent had 250,000 behind. Montgomery moved allin. Overbeek called.

Overbeek: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Montgomery: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts} and we said hello to a new chip leader, Montgomery now with 750,000.

Hard Time

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Gabriel Xiourouppa is having as tough a time at the tables as we here at PokernNews are having at spelling his name.

Our reporter came to the table with a board reading {2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, with Xiourouppa's {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} showing, doubling up Mitchell Pavletich holding {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Scott Montgomery on day 1c
Scott Montgomery on day 1c

Scott Montgomery can not put a foot wrong. Well at the very least, his cards can't.

Sean Dunwoodie led with 34,000 from under the gun, wherby Montgomery made it 70,000 from the hi-jack. Folded back around to Dunwoodie, he instantly shipped his stack.

"I call," Montgomery said calmly.

Montgomery: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Dunwoodie: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{7-Spades}, the ace on the turn the nail in Dunwoodie's tournament coffin!

Montogomery has now cracked over 1,000,000 in chips.

Pauchon Chops

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Yann Pauchon had his tournament life on the line, all-in against Justin Cohen.

Pauchon: {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Cohen: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

With Pauchon in bad shape, he called for a chop.

Board: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Chop it up. Pauchon lives to see another hand.
