Duncan Bell Doubles Through Napoleon Ta

Bell raised to 41,000 and Ta moved all in. Bell made the call with {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and needed help against Ta's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. The {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {10-Hearts} flop didn't seem to offer much help but the {3-Hearts} on the turn gave Bell a flush draw. One that he hit when the {6-Hearts} fell on the river to give Bell the runner-runner flush and the pot.

Stuffed Turkeys

With this event running as late as it is, there are plenty of railbirds hanging out riding their favorite player. So far, we've been hearing many colorful things, including "one time! one time!" during the three-way all-in earlier, and our personal favorite, which was uttered just moments ago "stuff that turkey". We're not 100% sure what it means, but either way, it was certainly interesting to hear coming from the fans.

Moments later we heard, "is it Thanksgiving already? November 26? Get those mashed potatoes out. With some stuuuuffing."

Napoleon Ta moved all in for his last 142,000 and Michael Kamran called for his last 122,000. On the button Aaron Katz then moved in himself, and once all was said and done Katz turned over {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}, Kamran {5-Spades} {5-Clubs}, and Ta {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}.

The {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} flop brought a shout from Ta and his friends on the rail and, when the board ran out {4-Spades} {Q-Clubs}, Ta just about tripled up to 420,000 while Kamran was eliminated.
