McDonald Gets The Farm

Mike McDonald is up to 260,000 after eliminating an opponent with {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} against {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} on a {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} board.

There was some confusion afterwards from his opponent who was sure he had 'Timex' covered but only had 125,700 to the Canadian's 137,400.

Mysterious Hand for Baldwin

Baldwin Balling
Baldwin Balling
Eric Baldwin made it 5,000 from the hijack and the gent in the cutoff was the only caller.

They proceeded to check down the {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop and {2-Spades} turn, but the river was the {A-Hearts} and instead of checking, Baldwin bet out a disproportionately hefty 20,000. His opponent looked him up and down before passing the {A-Clubs} up.

Baldwin is now over the 100,000 mark.

ElkY Makes a Good Call

A board reading {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} lay on the felt, and ElkY's opponent bet 12,000. After a tense moment, ElkY called -- and was rewarded when his opponent turned over a hadn't-hit-anything {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. ElkY flipped the unlikely {J-Spades} {4-Spades} for trips, and took the pot.

Roland Picks One Up Before Break

In the last hand at his table before the break, Roland de Wolfe raised from the small blind to 3,600. The big blind called and the two players took a flop of {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. De Wolfe bet 6,600 and his opponent called.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Roland deliberated for a while before checking. His opponent checked behind.

The river was the {A-Spades} and Roland fired 13,500. His opponent took a few moments before mucking his hand and Roland is now up to 107,000.

Chip Leader Loses Huge Pot

Matt Woodward has dropped a huge chunk of his chips and is back down to 250,000.

The board was reading {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Spades} {5-Spades} and Woodward had raised his opponent's 16,000 bet to 40,000. A quick all-in and an equally swift call and Woodward revealed his {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} but was behind to {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}.

A {Q-Diamonds} on the river and Woodward was forced to hand over an additional 108,100 as a result.
