Jarvis Slips

Matt Jarvis opened to 1,700 from early position and was called by the player in the big blind.

The flop brought {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and action was checked to Jarvis who continued out for 2,100. His opponent called and they both checked when the board paired with the {J-Clubs} on fourth street. The {8-Clubs} completed the board and Jarvis' opponent shot out 3,700. Jarvis quickly called but mucked when he was shown {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} for jacks and nines with an ace. With his hit Jarvis' stack is now sitting at 55,000.

Lee Scores Massive Double Through Tria

We caught up after shouts echoed throughout the River Rock Theatre to find that Tyler Lee was able to score a huge double up through one time big stack Roberto Tria.

The flop read {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Lee was all in and at risk holding {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for top two pair. Unfortunately for Lee he was against the {8-}{8-} of Tria and in need of some help to stay alive.

The turn was the harmless {5-Clubs} but the {K-Clubs} on the river shook everything up and caused players around the table to let out shouts and cries. Lee's rivered full house was able to net him a double up to the top chip position in the room.

Vaillancourt Doubles

After two players limped, it folded around to Noah Vaillancourt in the big blind who moved all in for his last 16,700. The first player pondered for about thirty seconds before dropping in enough chips to call. The next limper got out of the way and the hands were turned over:

Vaillancourt: {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Vaillancourt was out in front and managed to improve his lead on the {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. It wouldn't be poker without a sweat, though, and the {9-Hearts} fell on fourth street to give his opponent outs to make a heart flush.

The {4-Clubs} hit the river, however, and Vaillancourt was able to double up to about 36,000.

Hwang Massive Chip Lead

We're unsure how it happened, but Sean Hwang, the man who knocked out Jason Koon earlier in the tournament, has jumped back into a massive chip lead with about 195,000.
