Dawley Dusted

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jessica Dawley is no longer with us
Jessica Dawley is no longer with us

With a raise ahead of her, Jessica Dawley pushed her last 5,100 into the pot. The original raiser made the call to put Dawley at risk.

Dawley: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

With Dawley in a race situation for her tournament life, the {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop kept her trailing, but as the {Q-Spades} landed on the turn, it added eight outs to her aces and jacks.

Unfortunately for last years 17th place finisher, the river landed the {10-Clubs} to end her tournament prematurely.

Levy Gets Some Back

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a player raised to 1,000 from the button, Grant Levy reraised to 2,025 from the small blind. The button made the call and the flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Levy checked and his opponent bet 1,525. Levy made the call.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and paired the board. Levy checked again and his opponent bet 1,525 again. Levy called.

The river completed the board with the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. Levy opened the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and his opponent mucked. Levy won the pot and got back to 23,500 in chips.

Scarf Soaring

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andrew Scarf has just seen his stack soar to over the 50,000-chip mark.

Catching the action on the river with the board reading {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, Scarf moved all in for 11,500 with Steve Yea making the call.

Scarf tabled his pocket aces to force a muck from Yea as he slipped to 17,000.

Ummm . . . Ok . . . Didn't Realize Jack-Three is the Nuts!

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jackie Glazier is probably thinking "WTF?!?!?"
Jackie Glazier is probably thinking "WTF?!?!?"

With a raise to 800 and a call by Joe Hachem, Jackie Glazier three-bet to 2,100 only to have the initial raiser jam for roughly 15,000.

Hachem folded, but Glazier immediately made the call.

Glazier: {A-}{A-}
Opponent: {J-}{3-}

Glazier unfortunately saw a three on the flop, followed by running jacks on the turn and river as she slipped to 15,000 while her opponent enjoyed an interesting double.

Farewell Comer

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

[Removed:415] opened the action to 850 and Martin Comer made the call before a third player three-bet to 2,750.

Doria passed, but Comer stuck in his remaining chips with his opponent quickly calling.

Comer: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} to see Comer hit the rail.

Carlos Culled

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Carlos Mortensen
Carlos Mortensen

Carlos Mortensen limped in under the gun, and was followed by another player next to act before Manny Stavropoulos bump it to 1,200 from the hi-jack.

Once the blinds passed, Mortensen three-bet jammed for 7,575 to force the limper out before Stavropoulos made the call.

Mortensen: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Stavropoulos: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

With Mortensen in the lead but facing a coinflip for his tournament life, the {2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop would see his call of heads be wrong as Stavropoulos surged out in front.

The {3-Diamonds} on the turn changed little, and as the {K-Spades} spiked on the river, the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro was forced to exit to the rail as Stavropoulos climbed to 55,000 in chips.

No More Kiwi G

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt got all of his money in on the flop of {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} holding an overpair with the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. His opponent had out-flopped him with the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}, hitting top set. Putt was all in for 7,775 and after the turn ({9-Clubs}) and river ({3-Diamonds}) hit, he was eliminated from the tournament.

De Wolfe Dents Sbrzesny

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts} we found Bodo Sbrzesny leading for 800 only to have Roland de Wolfe bump it to 2,500.

Sbrzesny made the call as the {3-Clubs} landed on the turn and de Wolfe continued for 4,825 with Sbrzesny calling.

The river of the {Q-Diamonds} went check, check as Sbrzesny's {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} was no good against de Wolfe's {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

With that pot, Sbrzesny slips to 28,500 as de Wolfe climbs to 38,000 in chips.

Nuts for Benyamine

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Martin Rowe opened to 800 from middle position with David Benyamine making the call from the big blind to see a {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop fall.

Rowe continued for 1,300 as Benyamine check-called before both players tapped the table when the {7-Clubs} landed.

Benyamine led for 3,900 when the river landed the {J-Hearts} and Rowe called.

Benyamine tabled his {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the nuts to move to 19,000 as Rowe mucked and slipped to 38,000 in chips.

Deres Puts the Pressure on Jordanou

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Gerasimos Deres
Gerasimos Deres

Gerasimos Deres raised to 750 and Billy Jordanou three-bet to an unknown amount. He tossed out one T5,000 chip and declared an amount verbally, but we couldn't hear him. Deres came back with a four-bet to 5,250 and Jordanou called, leaving himself with exactly 5,400 behind.

The flop came down {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Deres stuck out a stack of chips to put Jordanou all in. Jordanou tanked for several long minutes and then tossed his hand into the muck. Deres, who qualified for the 2011 Aussie Millions on Full Tilt Poker, is up to 23,000 now.
