Ha Not Laughing Now

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

Michael Reed raised it up from middle position, and Vimy Ha shoved his last 6,300 in from the big blind. Reed called with {7-Spades}

. Ha tabled {J-Spades}

and was apparently content to race for a double-up.

No double-up was to come for him, though. The board came out {3-Clubs}

, nothing useful at all for Ha. He is sent to the rail, but managed to limp his way into the money nonetheless.

Three Pair

[user66118]

Limit Hold'em:

Heung Yoon raised to 4,000, and Klein Bach reraised to 6,000. Yoon made the call, and was all in and at risk. He tabled {4-Hearts}

and was racing Bach's {A-Hearts}

.

The board ran down {6-Spades}

, and the two pair on the board made Bach's {A-Hearts}

live, counterfeiting Yoon's underpair. After losing the race in the worst way, he has been sent to the exit.

Brandon Lee Misses Twice in a Row

[user66118]

Limit Hold'em:

Brandon Lee has slid down and out of the chip counts in a matter of just two hands. Lee had 38,000 chips at the break, but he got involved with Jan von Halle moments ago and lost most of it.

After a series of raises and reraises, von Halle was all in with {Q-Spades}

against Lee's {A-Clubs}

. The board ran {7-Diamonds}

to knock Lee down to 13,000.

On the very next hand, he and Quyen Nguyen got in a similar preflop raising battle, this time resulting in Lee being all in. He showed down {A-Hearts}

and was in bad shape versus Nguyen's {A-Clubs}

. The

board again missed Lee, and he is busto.

"He's a card rack"

donpeters

Rolf Slotboom and Michael Guzzardi have been chatting it up a lot since being moved right next to one another. Both players are sponsored by T6 and enjoying their grind through the tournament.

Mitch Schock is also at the table and has only been playing with Guzzardi for a little while now. "He's a card rack. I've only known him for 20 minutes and he's a card rack," said Schock in reference to Guzzardi. All Guzzardi did was look up, eyes spread wide open in amazement that he was called a card rack.
