Khan Eliminated

[user46392]

Hevad Khan has busted. The small blind made it 3,000, and Khan in the big blind made it 7,000. The small blind went all in, and Khan called for 15,000 total with pocket jacks. The small blind was holding pocket nines, but hit another nine on the board to send Khan hurtling towards the rail.

Bruno Trips Up

[user4144]

No, dynamic Frenchman Bruno Fitoussi hasn't hit the deck, but rather hit trips to take down a lucrative pot. Preflop, Bruno reraised an opponent's raise of 2,000 to 5,000, leading to both players seeing a {J-Hearts}

flop.

The flop, along with the {9-Diamonds}

turn, were both checked down until Fitoussi reraised his opponent's 6,000 bet on the {7-Hearts}

river to 15,000. Although perplexed, his opponent made the call, but angrily mucked as last year's HORSE runner up revealed {A-Spades}

for trip sevens.

Board:

The big blind is gone, and Collins is on 62,000.

Minieri Shoots Down the Bullets

[user4144]

Dario Minieri's stack continues to ascend northwards, his latest victim seeing his pocket rockets destroyed by Minieri's pocket sevens on a 4-Q-7-8-5 rainbow board.

Minieri can barely get his arms around his chips now and has requested another rack.
