Roux Doubles

Anthony Roux opened to 40,000 from middle position before Pat Atchison made the call. With the action on Steven Tabb in the big blind, he bumped it to 150,000.

Roux moved all in, Atchison passed, and after nearly three minutes of deliberation Tabb made the call.

Roux: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Tabb: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to see Roux double through to 760,000 in chips.

Jonathan Plens raised to 49,000 from under-the-gun and Andrew Seden made the call. They went heads up to a flop of {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, where Plens bet 75,000 and Seden called again.

Both players checked down the rest of the board, which came {3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Seden mucked when Plens showed {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for a wheel.

Grondin Doubles

With the action folding round to Laurence Grondin in the small blind, she open-shipped for 345,000 and Steven Tabb made the call from the big blind.

Grondin: {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Tabb: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} to see Grondin double to over 700,000 as one-time chip leader Tabb slipped to 121,000 in chips.

Action folded to Tommy Chen who pushed all in from the small blind. Jonathan Plens made the call from the big blind and the hands were shown.

Chen: {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Plens: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Chen took an early lead on a flop of {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and held on through the turn, which came {6-Hearts}. The {A-Clubs} on the river was a killer though, and Chen left in 13th spot with just over $30,000.

Tabb Pushing

On table 150, Steven Tabb pushed his short-stack all in three times in a row.

He took his stack to nearly 400,000 before finding a scare on the last one when he was called by Pat Atchison.

Both players held {A-?} {K-?} and the pot was chopped up.
