Elezra Forced to Fold

Level 6 : 800/1,600, 100 ante

We we had a bit of technical difficulty that caused us to miss the action prior to the river. But on a board reading {k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Erik Cajelais bet 15,000. Eli Elezra thought for quite a while, counting his chips, stacking his chips, shuffling his chips, counting them again, before finally folding.

He didn't look happy about it either...

Juanda Out

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 100 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda moved all in from the button, for 10,200. Eli Elezra made the call and showed {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Juanda sighed, as he flipped over {k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} putting Elezra well in the lead. The turn brought some hope, as it was the {k-Hearts} that fell to the felt. The river however, was no help to Juanda, coming the {4-Hearts}.

Elezra commented that they are all now 50/50 to move on to the final, but that he should have better odds, since he's busted three of the players.

Juanda Slipping

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Howard Lederer raised to 3,300 and John Juanda pondered what he should do with his fairly short stack. Finally he decided a call was appropriate, and the flop came {9-Spades}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Both players checked, and the {a-Clubs} dropped on the turn. This got a bet out of Lederer, 2,500 to be exact. Juanda looked down his stack, up at the board, and back down to his stack before finally making the call.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and Lederer peered at Juanda's stack seeing how much he had behind, before betting a tiny, 2,500. Juanda cracked his knuckles and placed his hands on chin. Finally he folded, and Lederer scooped the pot.

After the pot was pushed to Lederer, Peter Jetten mentioned "that was a very interesting hand."

Elezra Continues to Move

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

John Juanda limped in the small blind, and Eli Elezra checked his option. The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Juanda checked to Elezra, who checked as well.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and Juanda dropped 2,400 in chips on to the table. Elezra thought for a few seconds before making the call.

The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Juanda checked. Elezra, who's got Juanda severly out-chipped bet 3,000 and got a quick fold out of Juanda.

Van Marcus Moves On Out

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Eli Elezra raised it up to 4,000 and Van Marcus moved all in for only about 10,000 total. Elezra quickly made the call, and the cards were on their backs.

Van Marcus: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Eli Elezra: {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Elezra was able to squeak out a win with a rivered nine. After the hand Elezra apologized to a young lady that was there with Van Marcus, and they all shared a few laughs.

We're down to five.

Cajelais Doubles

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Erik Cajelais raised it up to 3,200 and Howard Lederer moved all in very quickly. Cajelais called, flipping over {a-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Howard saw he was well behind with {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

The board rolled out {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Cajelais' 19,100 is now over 40,000.

Jetten Continues to Fire Away

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Peter Jetten made it 2,300 to go preflop, continuing his aggressive ways. Eric Cajelais called out of the big blind, and the two saw a {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

Cajelais checked, and Jetten bet 3,300. Cajelais called, and the {j-Spades} hit on the turn.

Cajelais checked again, and this time Jetten fired out a bet of 7,000 getting an insta-muck from Cajelais.
