Jeremy Tuttle Eliminated

A three-way all in before the flop left Shaun Deeb short stacked and Jeremy Tuttle on the outside looking in.

Tuttle, Deeb and Bobby Firestone got their chips in and showed their hands.

Tuttle: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Deeb: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Firestone: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

When the board ran {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Firestone's ladies held. Deeb, who had the biggest stack going in, was left with 45,000.

Rheem Gets Off Cheap

Chino Rheem could have lost a lot more when he flat called a preflop raise of 5,300 from middle position, and got min-raised to 10,000 by the cutoff.

Rheem made that call after the original raiser folded and both players checked down a board that came {6-?} {8-?} {J-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} .

Rheem showed pocket nines, but lost the pot to his opponent's pocket aces. Rheem still has 140,000.

Binger Bouncing Back

Sets up to a double
Sets up to a double
Six players saw the flop for 4,100 including both Michael Binger in the small blind and Warwick Mirzikinian out of middle position.

Mirzikinian lead out for 10,000 on the {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} board and when it folded to Binger he tanked for over three minutes before moving all in for 32,900 total. The remaining players folded and Mirzikinian made the call.

Mirzikinian: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Binger: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The turn and river fell the {J-Spades} and {4-Spades} to see Binger double through to 93,000 and change as Mirzikinian slipped to

Darus Suharto pushed his last 16,000 into the pot and was called by William Miner.

Suharto held {8-?}{9-?} up against Miner's {Q-?}{Q-?}, and when the board blanked out, Suharto headed to the rail as Miner climbed to 135,000.

Robert Cheung Likes the Ladies

Robert Cheung moved his last 14,900 into the middle on a board of {5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}and got called by his opponent who showed {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a wheel draw and who was behind Cheung's {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

The {Q-Diamonds} on the river only improved Cheung's hand, and he now has a stack of 60,000.

Rheem Eliminates Another

David "Chino" Rheem opened to 5,500 from early position, and as the action passed round to a player in late position he moved all in for around 25,000.

Rheem made the call and was ahead holding {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} to his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to see Rheem send an opponent packing as he climbed to 190,000 in chips.

Sparta Sucks Out

Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta
Phillip Sparta is running well.

After calling his opponent's all-in bet on a flop of 8-5-4, Sparta turned over pocket jacks to find out his opponent flopped a set while holding pocket 8s.

A brick on the river brought no help, but a jack on the river gave Sparta the winning hand and sent his opponent to the payout desk. Sparta now has 470,000 chips.
