Quads Should Do It

A big pot just took place between Calen McNeil and Thom Schultz. The flop read {3-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {4-Spades} when McNeil bet 15,000 before Schultz raised the pot. McNeil called before the turn came {4-Clubs}.

But before the turn had come McNeil had already moved the rest of his chips in the middle and Schultz had followed him. McNeil tabled {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {3-Spades} {J-Clubs} but was drawing dead to Schultz's {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {7-Clubs} for quads.

The meaningless river came {K-Diamonds}.

Schultz is up to 124,000 now.

McNeil managed to win a pot soon after and sits at 75,000.

Aces Cracked

Statkiewicz Jr
Statkiewicz Jr
A preflop raising war broke out between Jesper Hougaard and Stanley Statkiewicz Jr and all the chips ended up in the middle. Statkiewicz's tournament was at risk, as he was the all-in player.

Hougaard flipped over {10-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} and he was ahead of Statkiewicz's {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

That was until the board came {6-Hearts} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs} to give Statkiewicz the pot. He's now up to 130,000.

Hougaard is a little short now on 46,000.

Max Pescatori Eliminated in 26th ($5,905)

A rough one here.

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Craig Natte and Max Pescatori were all in against Greg Cox, who had both covered.

Cox {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Natte {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Max Pescatori {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}

Pescatori had flopped top set. Natte had flopped bottom set. And Cox just had his aces.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs}, giving Natte a flush draw. "No!" said Pescatori. "Don't ruin my World Series!"

The river was indeed ruinous for Pescatori -- the {3-Clubs}. Pescatori is out, and Natte has zoomed up to 164,000.

Ryan Lenaghan Eliminated in 25th Place ($5,905)

Firstly, Ryan Lenaghan was crippled to a mere 500 chips after losing a big pot to Calen McNeil. The board read {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and Ryan Lenaghan moved all in on the river.

If McNeil called he would be all in. He said 'I'm going to go down in blaze of glory', then called.

Lenaghan mucked upon seeing McNeil's {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

'Yes, that's the best call I've made in my life' added McNeil.

He's up to 82,000 now.

Leneghan was busted the very next hand by Jamie Robbins.
