Choppy Start for Lapossie

[user46392]

Matt Lapossie has had an interesting, if ultimately uneventful start to the day.

First, he found himself dominating the all-in Michael Greco, holding {A-Spades}

to Greco's {A-Clubs}

. A series of overcards on the board, though, and they chopped it up.

Then a few hands later Lapossie raised preflop and fellow monster stack Marc Goodwin called to see a {4-Hearts}

flop. Lapossie bet out, and Goodwin raised another 200,000. Lapossie three-bet, Goodwin four-bet all in and Lapossie called in an instant. Wow. That's a 3,000,000 chip pot.

Goodwin: {10-Hearts}

Lapossie:

"Oh deary me," sighed Goodwin.

But wait...

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

River:

Goodwin high-fived fellow countryman Michael Greco, and declared, "Oof, getting there my son. Now I wish I was bluffing with an ace."

"So you're raising me with queen-three?" enquired a jovial Goodwin.

"So you're calling me with ten-three?" replied Lapossie. Touché.

Going In for the Kyllonen

[user46392]

Over on the feature table, Jens Kyllonen raised to 28,000 and got looked up by Patrick Bueno in the small blind.

They saw a {7-Diamonds}

flop and Bueno checked. Kyllonen continuation-bet 40,000 and Bueno looked like he was seriously considering it -- but eventually passed, putting Kyllonen up to 360,000 or so and dropping Bueno down below the 1.5 million mark.

Greco Doubles Up

[user76023]

Santiago Terrazas Ambite raised to 39,000 from middle position and Michael Greco reraised all-in from the big blind for not too much more. Ambite instantly called with {A-Diamonds}

and Greco showed {A-Clubs}

.

"Nothing funky dealer!" said Greco.

The board was {2-Spades}

and Greco looked very worried but the river was the {8-Spades}

and Greco is up to about 250,000

donpeters

Roland de Wolfe opened with a raise to 31,000 and action folded to David Robinson in the big blind. Robinson moved all in for 304,000 total. De Wolfe made the call and tabled {10-Hearts}

. Robinson turned over {A-Hearts}

as he stood up and yelled that he was all in to his frineds on the rail.

The dealer dealt the flop and right in the door was an ace -- {A-Spades}

. Robinson clapped his hands together as he took the lead.

Just as the flop gave Robinson the lead, all of his hopes seemed dashed when the {10-Clubs}

hit the turn. The river was the {6-Hearts}

and that was it, Robinson was eliminated in 22nd place. De Wolfe moved up to 700,000.

Gay Waiter Saves Kyllonen

[user76023]

Jens Kyllonen raised preflop and ElkY reraised before the Finn pushed all-in. ElkY looked incredibly reluctant to put the rest of his chips in, but eventually did and Kyllonen went quite pale. He flipped {Q-Clubs}

and Elky showed {4-Hearts}

The board came {A-Hearts}

and a very lucky Kyllonen escapes while Elky is left with just 100,000.
