Chino Rheem reluctant to table his dominated hand
An older gentleman has just doubled through Chino Rheem to cripple the former November Niner down under his starting stack.
The chips all went in preflop with Chino's in bad shape against his opponent's . "How 'bout a ten?" Chino asked the dealer.
Flop:
That was nice and cozy for Chino, but things turned right back around for the worse as the peeled off on the turn. The river was a blank, and Chino has shipped a double up across the felt. He's got about 25,000 left.
Jeffrey Hakim has finally busted, getting it in with against the man who earlier cracked his aces to cripple him, Juan Maceiras. Maceiras was holding this time.
Board:
"Sorry," said Maceiras. "For the other hand, I mean."
Jake Cody and Jakob Carlsson tangled up in a preflop raising war that left Carlsson all in, but he was in good shape to double. He turned up pocket queens, , significantly better than Cody's . At the time, anyways.
The flop brought the two-out five ball for Cody, coming . The turn was not as blank as it looked, as it gave Carlsson another two outs to make a bigger full house. The river was not a six or a queen, though, and the has sent Carlsson out the door.
Neil Channing seemed to have bet out on an flop; whatever happened, when we arrived Felipe Ramos had raised enough to put him in and Channing was saying, "Yes, I think I have to call." He called.
Channing: for a flush draw
Ramos: for an overpair
Turn:
River:
Channing - busto
Ramos - 185,000 - an amazing feat seeing as he spent virtually the whole of Day 1 on 10,000 or below.
Channing appeared in the press room shortly afterwards. Any comment? we asked. "Yes," he said. "F*** my life. Oh, and say it was a massive cooler where I was massively ahead on the flop."
Jeffrey Lisandro will not be adding an EPT title to his poker trophy cabinet, as he got his last in with and never really stood a chance against hi sopponent's .
The gentleman in the hijack raised to 3,800 - and we noticed a little blogger's tell, as in our experience players only look bloggers in the eye when they have a monster, and the hijack gent was staring right at us. Still, undeterred, Ivan Demidov in the cutoff reraised to 10,300. Sure enough the action folded back around to Hijack Gentleman, who four-bet to 26,500.
Demidov tanked up long enough for the clock to be called, but within milliseconds of the word "clock" being uttered he'd gone all in. On their backs.
Demidov:
Hijack Gentleman: extremely ahead with
But actually, it turned out well for Demidov.
Board:
Demidov made a four flush and doubled to around 95,000. That, my friends, is how you win tournaments.
