Tobias Reinkemeier, who busted the $100,000 event earlier today, also busted out of the Main Event. We ran into Reinkemeier who told us the following.
The German raised preflop with and three players called. The flop brought out and the action was checked to the player on the button who bet 2,800. Reinkemeier check-raised all in after the big blind had folded, and the button called for a total of 17,000.
Unfortunately Reinkemeier was up against a set of fives, and his tournament run ended up after the turn and river didn't bring a six or a seven.
After finishing second in the $100,000 event just a few hours ago we just saw Igor Kurganov rake in a serious pot in the Main Event.
There was a raise under the gun to 1,100 and Kurganov called. The German was seated under the gun plus tow, and heads up the flop brought . The initial raiser checked to Kurganov who bet 1,900. Kurganov's opponent raised to 3,800 and the German called.
The turn brought the and the initial raiser quickly bet 8,000. Kurganov called, and the river brought out the . Kurganov faced a 9,000-chip bet which he quickly called.
Under the gun showed and lost against Kurganov's .
We picked up the action on a board and the action was checked to the player in position. He threw out 8,000 and Ian Cordts check-raised all in. Joel Feldman folded his cards and the other player called the shove worth 27,775.
Cordts turned over and doubled through his opponent who showed . The river was the and Cordts raked in this big pot.
Lee Markholt and an opponent were heads up on a flop of . Markholt led out for 2,550, and his opponent tossed out a yellow T5,000 chip, announcing "raise."
The dealer told him that he had to add an extra black T100 chip to make it a min-raise, and before he could even add the chip, Markholt moved all in for effectively 20,000 or so.
The player lurched back in agony, and dipped into the tank for the better part of two minutes. He finally folded, and Markholt tabled for top pair, an open-ended straight draw, and a backdoor flush draw.
"I just played brilliantly," Neil Channing just said as we passed by his table. "Do you want me to explain what happend," he asked, and we kindly took him up on his offer.
"Well, is it okay if I lie?" Channing said with a smile as he started recounting his steps.
"So I raised to 1,200 and the gentleman here," Channing said as he pointed to the player to his left, "re-raised to 3,100."
"Well it wasn't that specific gentleman, but the one who formerly occupied this seat," Channing continued.
"Now I could say I flat-called with pocket jacks and got it all-in on a jack-high flop against pocket kings," Channing said with a smile.
Seem to have busted a man in unfortunate (for him) circs. Put 22k in pre with JJvsKK at 300/600. Would have gone in on flop #AussieMillionsJanuary 28 2013
The former Irish Open winner and two-time WSOP runner up decided to move all in and his opponent called with pocket kings. Channing hit a jack on the flop and dodged some diamonds when his opponent picked up a flush draw on the turn. Channing is now sitting comfortably on a stack worth just under 55,000.
Fazez Dawood opened in middle position, Philipp Gruissem three-bet on his direct left, and a third player cold four-bet to just under 10,000 on the button. The action folded back to Gruissem, who tank-called.
The dealer fanned . Gruissem checked, his opponent fired 7,200, and the German called.
The turn was the , both players checked, and the completed the board. Gruissem tanked for 30 seconds or so, studying both the board and his opponent, then tossed out 12,000. His opponent immediately called.
"Ace-jack," Gruissem announced, frowning.
