Corkins Sent to the Rail by Lisandro

[user75032]

When you're as short as Hoyt Corkins was, there's nothing you can do but get your chips in the middle. After Jeff Lisandro opened preflop to 10,000, Corkins moved all in for 24,500. Lisandro called with {A-Hearts}

, a hand that was a significant dog to Corkins' {A-Diamonds}

. Everything looked good for Corkins until the river, {8-Hearts}

. Lisandro made nines full of eights to end Corkins' day.

Barch a New Man

[user75032]

It's a desperate double-up for Tex Barch. Exceedingly short of chips, he got all in preflop with {A-Clubs}

and was called by Clayton Newman, who showed down the other two aces and TWO suits, {A-Spades}

. So of course the board ran out {6-Hearts}

to make a heart flush for Barch. He's on 35,000 now, while Newman is down to 42,000.

Battle of H's Goes to Hourani

[user75032]

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}

, Adam Hourani moved all in for 40,500 after Edward Ochana checked. That bet drew a call from Dan Hindin. After John Kabbaj and Ochana folded, the cards were opened for all to see.

Hourani: {6-Hearts}

Hindin:

Hindin's unimproved aces were up against Hourani's two pair, sixes and deuces. Those two pair become sixes and fives with the {5-Diamonds}

turn and a double-up to 125,000 when the river fell {9-Hearts}

.

Hindin is down to 115,000.

for the wheel

The river is the {Q-Spades}

John Kabbaj Quadruples Up

[user111541]

Philip Marmorstein, Richard Tatalovich, and John Kabbaj all limp into the pot. Edward Ochana is in the cutoff seat and reraised to 19,000. Both Marmorstein and Tatalovich smooth called.

Kabbaj decides this would be a good time to try and hit a big hand and moved all in for just 6,500 more. All three players called.

The board came {K-Hearts}

with all three remaining active players checking it the whole way down.

Kaabaj showed {K-Clubs}

for top two pair to quadruple up to 106,500.

Bubble Time

[user111541]

39 players currently remain, only three spots away from the money. Play has slowed down considerably as most try their best to make sure they have a payday.
