Big Bully

The two blinds were in to see a {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop. Andreas Martens led out from the SB and Yan Li called from the BB to see {5-Hearts} turn. This time Martens check-called bet from Li before the river came {8-Diamonds} that they both checked. Martens' {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} no good against Li's {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}.

Li -- 120,000
Martens -- 80,000

Oh Fu-ey

Fu Wong has, er, wonged all his chips and is out in 41st place.

He raised from the cutoff and called a reraise from David Baker on the button. Wong check-called the flop and then check-called all in on the turn; he had some outs, but none of them materialized on the river and he's bust.

Baker: {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}
Wong: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

Board: {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {7-Diamonds}

So Long, Soheil

One final table's enough for any man
One final table's enough for any man
Soheil Shamseddin took a massive hit during the bubble and would actually have spared Daniel Kraus the misery of the bubble by sharing 45th place money with him, were it not for one 500 chip which Shamseddin managed to hang on to. He actually managed to ladder all the way up to, er, 44th place -- Jeff Wagner busted out in 45th before Shamseddin got his last 500 in with {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} which smacked right into Henric Strath's {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

No more limit final tables for Shamseddin this week, as he is busto.

Bubble Bursts In Super-Fast Time

Well, that was a quick and painless bubble.

Daniel Kraus only had 7,000 left to his name, so he raised under the gun. Big blind Jared O'Dell called, and then check-called Kraus' sad little 1,000 chip all-in shove on the flop.

O'Dell: {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts}
Kraus: {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {2-Spades} {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

Furst Up

Rafe Furst raised from UTG and only the BB came along for the {6-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} flop. The BB then check-called a bet on this street and on the {5-Hearts} turn before we saw the {A-Clubs} river. This street was checked through and Furst's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} was good for the pot as his opponent mucked.

Furst up to 73,000.
