Mao Walks

Nick Mao moved his short-stack of 57,500 into the pot and with the action on Joe Simmons in the cutoff; he too moved all in.

David Sands sat in the tank for over two minutes before folding, and eventually stating that he had two nines.

Mao: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Simmons: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} to see Mao hit the rail and Simmons keep increasing his mammoth stack.

As for Sands . . . at least it was the right fold!

Bye Bye Boeree
Bye Bye Boeree

The outcome . . . she was all in preflop holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} against {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and the board of {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades} would see her vacate the tournament floor for a nice $7,237 payday.

Simmons Cruising

On fire!
On fire!
With a raise in middle position to 14,000, Joe Simmons made the call from the hi-jack before the cutoff bumped it to 40,000.

The original raiser passed, but Simmons made the call to see the flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} checked.

When the {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn, all the chips went into the middle with Simmons in front holding {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut straight.

His opponent couldn't improve his flopped set of Jacks with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Simmons sent yet another player to the rail as he soars to 870,000 in chips.
