Chip Leader Stretches Further Ahead

Cohen doing his thing right now
Cohen doing his thing right now
Andrew Cohen's stack tops the 350,000 mark now after he took care of Joe Devlin in battle of the blinds.

Cohen raised it up to 12,000 before Devlin min raised it to 24,000. Cohen called and then moved in on a {7-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {7-Clubs} flop. Devlin must have thought he was ahead as he snap called with {4-?} {4-?}. He wasn't too happy to see Cohen flip over {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} that held up through the remaining streets to eliminate him.

On the Case...

Casey Kuhn has just knocked out Ryan McNeel. The money looked to have gone in on the flop of {J-?} {10-?} {J-?}, McNeel holding {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} but Kuhn flipped {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} and avoided a ten on the {4-?} turn and {2-?} river.

The Hand That Turned into a Killer

An UTG raise to 9,000 from Steve Ludwick was met with two callers before the flop brought {5-Spades} {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

It was checked to Ludwick who bet 16,000. Only Casey Kuhn called in the cut-off before the turn came {A-Spades}. In a betting frenzy, the two players' remaining chips were in the middle and the cards were on their backs.

Ludwick turned a set with {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, but Kuhn had turned the nuts with {10-Spades} {J-Spades}.

Ludwick needed the board to pair to stay alive, but the river came {J-Diamonds} to seal his fate. Kuhn raked in a very nice sized pot, putting him up to 226,000 in chips.

Not Quite a Teen

Out in 20th place is David Hecht. Short stacked he decided to push from UTG with {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} and was looked up by the big blind with {J-?} {9-?}.

Neither player hit, so jack-high was enough to take the pot and bust one more.

Hail Caesar!

Jesse Duangrudeesawat raised preflop and Tuni Rafaele pushed all-in, Caesar Chavez called as did Duangrudeesawat.

The flop was {2-Hearts} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Chavez moved in, Duangrudeesawat folded and Rafaele looked worried turning over {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. Chavez showed {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} and Rafaele was drawing dead on the {6-Spades} turn. The river, a meaningless {5-Hearts} meant the latter was out in 18th place.
