Raymer Doubles, Remains Short

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante
Greg Raymer
Greg Raymer

"Three thousand, nine hundred, and fifty," Greg Raymer calmly said. That left him with just one T25 chip, and he was called by a player in the hijack. The two checked down a {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs} run out, and Raymer showed {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to win the pot with top pair.

Fiorenza Pushing for Lead

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Toni Fiorenza bet 3,000 when a slew of players, at least four, checked to her on the button with a {3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop occupying the middle of the felt. Fast folds followed until the hijack made the call, and a {k-Hearts} led to two quick checks. On the {7-Hearts} river, the hijack bet 3,500 and Fiorenza snap-called.

The hijack showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a set, but Fiorenza had caught him on the river with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, good for a straight.

Fiorenza has a pile of chips, but unfortunately for her, the only player who covers (Chan Nguyen) her sits on her left.

Nguyen Doubles Through Boone

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Men Nguyen bet 3,000 when Jim Boone checked to him on an {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop. Boone made it 7,000 to go, and Nguyen called. On the {5-Clubs} turn, Boone slowed down and checked. Nguyen bet 9,000, and Boone leaned back in his chair an moved all in after a minute or so of thought. Nguyen called for about 11,000 more.

Nguyen: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Boone: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Boone needed a jack, but he missed as the {7-Spades} gave Nguyen a boat. After the hand, Nguyen clarified that he is not, in fact, "The Master."

Chan Nguyen continues to pace the field. We just saw him dragging another monster pot and were informed that he got all in preflop with {a-}{a-} and busted a player who failed to catch up with {q-}{q-}.
