Tino Goes Up the River

Limit Hold'em:

Tino Lechich raised it up in mid position, and when it came around to Marc Goldman, he reraised from the small blind. Lechich moved all in for a total of 2,425, and the hands were shown down:

Lechich: {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}
Goldman: {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Goldman caught up on the river as the board ran out {3-?} {6-?} {7-?} {3-?} {K-?}, giving him the winning top pair and eliminating Lechich.

Goodall Turned Out

No-Limit Hold'em:

Four players saw a flop after Todd Dedeaux raised the action preflop. The flop came down {J-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts}.

Quyen Nguyen checked, Dedeaux bet 2,000, Edwin Kim raised to 5,400, and then Nick Goodall moved all in for 6,300 total.

Nguyen folded and Dedeaux went into the tank for a while. He folded after a few minutes and after he glanced over at the tournament clock. Kim made the call of only 900 more.

Goodall turned over {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and Kim showed {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. The dealer wasted no time in putting the {5-Clubs} on the turn, giving Kim two pair. The river was the {10-Spades} and Goodall was sent home, clearly disappointed as he was so close to the money.

A-Millie, A-Millie, A-Millie

No-Limit Hold'em:

Millie Shiu had her tournament life on the line against Al Anderson as she was all in preflop. Shiu held {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} and Anderson held big slick, {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}.

The flop didn't contain an ace for Anderson when it came {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. The turn came the {J-Hearts} and gave both players a straight draw with Anderson drawing to the nuts. Shiu did have a blocker with the king of hearts for the flush draw.

The river came the great card for Shiu, the {5-Spades}, and enabled her to double up to 21,000. Anderson was knocked down to 10,000.

Shutdown Mode

The first hour of action today saw a whopping 20 players get knocked out, a full 1/5th of the field. Most of them were short-stacked and looking to double up or get out of here early. However, as the money bubble is approaching, the pace has slowed drastically. There have been virtually no confrontations in the last 15 minutes or so as the remaining players sit on their chips, trying to earn a payday here on Day 2.

Tamayo Flops a Boat

Limit Hold'em:

The board was {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} when Jonathan Tamayo made a bet and Alex Bolotin raised all in. Tamayo called and showed a whopper with {K-?} {8-?}. Bolotin held {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs}.

The river came the {10-Hearts} and officially ended Bolotin's tournament. Tamayo is now well over the century mark with 118,000.

Born Arguer

Davood Mehrmand seems to spend his life agruing with other players and dealers. Marc Levi has picked up on this fact and feels it's his right to point this out.

"I've sat with you on four tables and on four tables you've been arguing," points out Levi.

The dealer can't put up with their arguing and calls the floor manager. He gives them both a warning and says they will be penalised if it continues. I'm not sure Mehrmand can stop himself though.

Darvill Heads Out

Limit Hold'em:

Action folded all the way around to the button, where Peter Darvill opened with a raise. Chris Hughes reraised from the small blind, and Darvill called. The flop came {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Hughes bet, and Darvill raised all in, which was quickly called.

Darvill: {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}
Hughes: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The turn and river provided no assistance for Darvill as they came {5-Clubs} and {9-Hearts}, respectively. In losing that pot, Darvill is eliminated early in the second level of action.
