Crippled Then Busted

MarcC

The damage for Alex Kravchenko was done by a Mr. Matt Lichtie. We didn't get to see what the Russian had but he certainly couldn't beat his opponent's {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts} on a {7-Spades} {K-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} board.

Sent in to finish him off was Mike Thorpe. It all went in preflop with Kravchenko's {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} unable to catch up with Thorpe's {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} on a {8-Hearts} {2-Spades} {A-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} board.

Naalden Hits the Marc

Naalden - prickly fellow

Jared O'Dell raised under the gun and another gentleman called behind; Marc Naalden reraised in the cutoff and both players called.

The {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop checked around to Naalden who bet, and both players called. The {2-Clubs} turn checked to Naalden as well and he bet again; this time O'Dell was the only caller.

The river came the {J-Clubs} and O'Dell check-called another bet from Naalden. Naalden flipped over {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} for the ace-high flush and O'Dell mucked.

The Needle King's up to 135,000.

That Cospolich Hellmuth

Brian Cospolich raised from UTG and was three-bet by Phil Hellmuth from MP. The call was made so the two went to a {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} flop. The rest of Cospolich's chips went in with {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} and Hellmuth was priced in with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}.

The turn came {6-Diamonds} and river {6-Spades} to double Cospolich up to 23,000. Hellmuth still on six figures with 101,000.

Chu'd Up

Hansu Chu check-raised on the turn of a {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} board and bettor Alex Keating called the raise. Chu moved all in for his last 5,000 on the {5-Hearts} river, but unfortunately for him, Keating was holding two hearts for the flush. Chu mucked and exited in 39th place.

The Kid's Down But Not Out

Now on 45,000
Now on 45,000
We caught up with this hand at the turn with a {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {K-Diamonds} board. Daniel Negreanu bet and was called by Andreas Martens before they both checked the {8-Diamonds} river.

Negreanu tabled {A-Spades} {2-Spades} to Marten's {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Martens takes the pot and is up to 60,000. Negreanu now on 45,000.

Cospolich Not Gonna Take It Brian Down

Not a bustout this time, but a double up instead.

Brian Cospolich raised to a bet from Diego Cordovez on a {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} board; Cordovez called and they saw a {J-Hearts} turn.

Cordovez bet out again and Cospolich called all in; he was behind...

Cordovez: {A-Spades} {3-Spades}
Cospolich: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

But...

River: {Q-Spades}

A lucky escape from the rail for Cospolich, who doubles to 30,000.

Bustouts are coming thick and fast now that everyone is guaranteed a slice of the prize pool.

Rich McRoberts is the latest to drop, his {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} failing to hit against an opponent's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and he exits in 40th place.
