Henson and Negreanu Avoid Big Clash

Ray Henson just avoided disaster while Daniel Negreanu may be ruing a missed opportunity after they split a pot when the board produced five clubs.

Henson had flopped two pair with {K-?}{9-?} and Negreanu turned a set of eights, but the fifth club on the river left both players playing the flush on board and they chopped it up.

Henson has over 50,000 chips with Negreanu still battling with 25,000.

Hyper-Aggression Works for Tran

Jimmy Tran raised from the button and the player in the big blind tossed out chips intending to call, but accidentally threw out too many. He tried to recover the chips but was ruled to have made a raise. Tran then reraised once again and his opponent called.

Things only got crazier once the {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop was spread. The big blind check-raised Tran's continuation bet, only to have Tran reraise once again. The big blind capped it and Tran made the call.

The {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and Tran called the bet of his opponent, and again on the {8-Spades} river.

"King" said the big blind player, however it was no good as Tran revealed {8-?}{5-?} for rivered trips to send his opponent steaming away from the table. Meanwhile Tran stacked up 74,000 in chips.

Buchman Gets Bucked

An under-the-gun player raised, and both Eric Buchman from the small blind and the big blind called. The flop came down {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}. Action checked to the preflop raiser and he fired a bet. Buchman tossed in a raise and the big blind folded. The other player called.

The turn put the {4-Spades} out there and Buchman fired. His opponent raised and Buchman called. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Buchman checked. His opponent fired a bet and Buchman paused for a moment. He then mucked his hand, dropping to 56,000 chips.

"I'm so bad"

On the board of {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, the small blind bet into Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis in the big blind. Veldhuis made the call. The river was the {7-Hearts} and the small blind led again. Veldhuis opted for a raise this time, but his opponent came right back with a reraise. Veldhuis insta-mucked his hand. "I'm so bad." he said.

Veldhuis - 38,000

Glantz Driving the Speed Limit

From under the gun, Matt Glantz raised before the button reraised. Glantz called. The flop was {J-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, which prompted Glantz to check-raise his opponent. The button player made the call.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Glantz fired a bet. His opponent called. The river was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked their action.

Glantz turned up a red speed limit, {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}, to best his opponent's {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and move up to 70,000 chips.

Maya Geller Eliminated
Maya Geller Eliminated
After the action was capped preflop in a battle of the blinds, Maya Geller and Eric Buchman took a flop of {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Geller check-raised the bet of Buchman, but he put in a three-bet and Geller called.

Geller led out at the {6-Clubs} on the turn but she was put all in after Buchman raised once again. Geller called and tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} but Buchman had flopped a set with his {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

The river was the {3-Spades} and Geller is eliminated within sight of the money as Buchman sits at just under 50,000 chips.
