Clark Can't Be Superman

[user46392]

Clark Hamagami is the latest to fall, coinflipping with pocket jacks against Tommy Chen's {A-Spades}

.

Board: {K-Spades}

Not So Great, Scott

[user46392]

Scott Reaves is out -- he pushed all in and got two callers in the shape of Keith Baker and David Farber, who checked down the {K-Spades}

board. Baker took it down with pocket eights, and both the others just mucked.

Teeming With Sorrow

[user46392]

Edward Teems will not be making the money after tangling with Philippe Xie. Teems, had pocket nines, Xie had {A-?}

, and and queen on the flop put paid to his tournament dreams.

Rock Crushed

[user46392]

Massive misfortune for Rock Gurney, who got his last in well ahead with pocket kings against Marc Whitford's {A-Clubs}

.

Board: a soul-crushing {6-Clubs}

You Pays Your Money, You Takes Your Chaus

[user46392]

Poor timing for Tim Chauser. Holding {A-?}

, he got as far as the turn of the {3-Diamonds}

board before getting all his chips in the middle -- but Kenny Hicks had flopped quads with pocket {3-Spades}

, and he was was out even before the {J-Spades}

river was dealt.

Level: 12

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

Straight to the Topp

[user46392]

T.J. Cloutier has gone and got himself absolutely crippled, through no fault of his own.

Scott Blackman raised to 3,000, only for Rodney Topp to make it 13,700 form the small blind. Big blind Cloutier moved in for 19,900 total and Blackman got out of the way; Topp called all in, though, and they were on their backs.

Topp: {K-Hearts}

Cloutier:

Board:

Ouch, Cloutier is down to a mere 6,000.

Perry Good, Sir

[user46392]

A full double up for Perry Friedman, his {A-Clubs}

staying good against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}

all the way down the {5-Diamonds}

board. Chip went in either before the flop or on it. Friedman up to 67,000.

New Chip Leader

[user46392]

It looks as though we have a new chip leader. A preflop raising war between Zackary Weiler and Masayuki Nagata resulted in Nagata all in thoroughly behind with {Q-Clubs}

against Weiler's {A-Diamonds}

. Zero assistance from the board, and Nagata is bust, while Weiler is up to 175,000. Interestingly, Weiler is seated next to the second in chips, Peter Rho. Could be fireworks...
