Remy Charges Ahead

[user46392]
[user46392]
Biechel Remy has killed two metaphorical birds with one stone, his {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} holding up against his opponents' {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} and {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts} on a board that read {6-Clubs} {8-Spades} {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, catapulting him up to 20,000.

A few hands later, he made a good laydown to preserve his big stack, folding {6-?} {8-?} on the river of a {4-Hearts} {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} board. His opponent said he had {A-?} {8-?} .

Heading South

Tom Dobrilovic, after such an excellent start to the day, has somehow found himself down to 5,000.

Even worse off is Joe Tehan, who is OUT.

Devin-Ly Flop

Devin Porter has doubled up to 6,000 -- his pocket threes flopped a full house, threes full of queens, and he got paid off in full on the river.

Stout is Out

Matt Stout has been eliminated -- all in on the flop, his flush failed to materialize, sending him to the rail and sending Thierry van den Berg up to the heady heights of 16,500.

Stout: {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Van den Berg: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Board: {8-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

Alspach Out

Today's event is now entirely devoid of matching shirt/visor combos owing to the demise of Dan Alspach in circumstances unknown.

Nicholls Showing Who's Boss

[user4144]
[user4144]
Flying the flag for England, Midlander Anthony Nicholls appears to be bullying his table during these opening levels. With 1,500 in the pot, Nicholls pushed in preflop and managed to take two other players off their hands. Nicholls showed a paltry T-7 and is now on 5,600.

Gowen Takes a Hit

[user4144]
[user4144]
Gowen raises to 625 preflop and receives two callers. After checking the {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, her bets of 1,600 and 2,500 are both called down on the {J-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river. Gowen shows A-K, but loses to K-J. Gowen is now back down to her starting stack of 4,000.

Khan Eliminates Opponent

[user46392]
[user46392]
Hevad Khan is up to around 7,000. He went all in for 4,000 in late position, and the small blind called all in for around 3,000 -- Khan hit on the flop and again on the river to send his opponent packing.

Khan: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Mr Opponent: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
