Just a Casual Five-Way All-In Showdown

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Gideon Scheepers
Gideon Scheepers

David Olivier jammed for 21,500 from under the gun and so did Rajeev Poonhath with a near identical stack from one seat over. Theuns Prinsloo called before Chris Gower in the small blind as well as Gideon Scheepers in the big blind also got their short stacks into the middle. Scheepers was the bigger stack for 37,000 and Prinsloo called to put four players at risk near the end of the registration period.

David Olivier: AQ
Chris Gower: 88
Gideon Scheepers: 99
Rajeev Poonhath: AK
Theuns Prinsloo: AK

The board ran out 108763 and Scheepers turned a straight to more than quadruple up. Poonhath had him covered by a single chip and survived the next all-in showdown, while Gower and Olivier were eliminated.

Khoury Keeps Adding Chips

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chad Khoury checked out of the big blind and then called a bet worth 10,000 by Gary Citron with the flop reading AQ8. The same action for the same amount repeated on the 7 turn before Khoury led the 6 river for 10,000.

Citron called and mucked his 96 when Khoury revealed J2 for the superior flush.

Sardini Gets No Value

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Danny Dayani raised to 5,000 first to act and received two callers in Gavin Sardini and Sven Strommes out of the blinds.

They checked the 632 flop, as well as the 5 turn. Sardini bet the 7 river for 10,000 and Strommes sigh-folded, Dayani also let go.

"The board got worse and worse for me, I was hoping you bet Danny," Sardini said as he flashed the 33 for a flopped set.

"You are unreadable to me," Strommes replied. The former big stack has plummeted to fewer than the starting stack while Sardini is among the chip leaders.

Bedford Beats Prinsloo in Showdown

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Chris Gower saw his stack reduced below the starting stack when early chip leader Theuns Prinsloo bet for 21,000 on the 9833 turn. "That good, eh? ... I fold," Gower announced and Rajeev Poonhath joked "I think my eight was good."

"Which eight?" Prinsloo replied and flashed the 8.

One hand later, Prinsloo didn't fire the 109548 river against Thomas Bedford and showed the 87 as last aggressor for a missed straight draw and rivered third pair. It was no good, as Bedford had the 108 for two pair.

Prinsloo has been involved in many of the hands but the most recent ones saw his stack reduced somewhat.

Small Pot for Elizabeth

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The frantic action prior to the dinner break has slowed down and there aren't as many big pots anymore. One of the latest three-way pots brought no betting action on the 8632 turn and 9 river for Alvin Pillay in the small bind as well as Patrice Ah-Nien in the big blind to check.

Shannon Elizabeth checked behind on the button and Pillay tabled the 52 for bottom pair. Ah-Nien mucked but Elizabeth won the pot with 109 for a pair of nines.

Ollewagen Reduces the Field By One

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kade Ollewagen checked the 10985 turn out of the big blind and the under-the-gun player then jammed for 34,000. The 25-second shot clock of Ollewagen ran down to zero and he used one time bank extension before coming along with the covering stack.

The short stack revealed the KJ for two overcards and a gutshot, while Ollewagen was ahead with Q10 and held one of the straight outs. Nothing changed with the 5 river for Ollewagen to win the pot with a pair of tens.
