Singer Roller-Coaster

David Singer has taken a bit of a hit. Rayan Nathan raised to 600 from the hijack and then called Singer's big blind raise to 2,100. Singer bet out 3,000 on the {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} flop, but Nathan made it 8,000 and Singer folded. Ryaan up to 18,200 and Singer down to 4,950.

He clawed a few chips back, but then took another small hit, calling a preflop raise and then a 1,300 bet on the {9-Spades} {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} flop, but laying it down to a bet of 3,000 on the {Q-Hearts} turn. He's now on 5,600.

Newer Table of Doom

This Table of Doom is not notable for who is on it now, but for who's busted out on it already.

All gone from the same table within half an hour:

Bill Chen
Tim Vance
John Phan
Andrew Teng

Humberto Brenes Eliminated

Huuuuuuumberto
Huuuuuuumberto
All in on a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Humberto was dipping in shark-infested waters with {6-Clubs}{7-Spades} against the {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} of Ayaz Mahmood. Sadly for the Team PokerStars pro, his top pair and open ended straight draw wasn't enough, the {4-Clubs} turn and {J-Diamonds} river giving Mahmood the flush for the pot.

Mahmood now on 29,000.

Winston Wins a Pot

Roy Winston has knocked out an opponent. He made it 650 preflop and the opponent called. The flop came out a raggy {5-?} {6-?} {3-?} and Winston bet 1,200. The opponent went all in with pocket eights, and Winston called with pocket queens. Another {3-?} on the turn and a {J-?} on the river, and the opponent is heading home while Winston is up to 22,000.

Two Birds, One Stone

An unknown player made it 575 from under-the-gun, Jimmy Tran called from early position, only for Vanessa Rousso to reraise from the cutoff. Both players called all in.

Unknown = {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Jimmy Tran = {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Vanessa Rousso = {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Board = {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Rousso disposed of two players in one fell swoop with just ace high and now has 10,300 in chips.
