Jonesin' for Some Chips

Martins Adeniya and David Jones got all the chips in preflop in this hand.

Adeniya: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Jones: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Jones was the player at risk, but the {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop didn't look good for him.

The {8-Spades} fell on the turn and Jones was looking for some help on the river to stay alive.

Bink! Sure enough, he hit his card when the {a-Spades} fell on fifth street.

Jones doubled to 140,000 and Adeniya dropped to 170,000.

Like a Bat Out of Helder

Petr Bartagov opened to 7,000 from under the gun and Jason Helder moved all in for 41,600 on the button. The blinds released and Bartagov went into the tank before finally making the call.

Showdown
Bartagov: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Helder: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Helder doubled to 86,000 chips.

Bartagov is crippled, left with only 13,600 chips.

Sorel Mizzi opened to 5,500 in the cutoff and James Vanneman raised to 11,000 on the button. The blinds released and Mizzi moved all in for 65,100. Vanneman called.

Showdown
Mizzi: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Vanneman: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop was a good sweat, but the turn and river were both jacks doubling Mizzi to 135,000 chips.

Vanneman dropped to 240,000 chips.

Psychic Negreanu

From the button Daniel Negreanu made it 6,000. Petr Bartagov tanked from the big blind.

"You don't have aces," Negreanu said. "King-five?" he asked.

"Yes," Bartagov said answering Negreanu. "Alright, I can't fold, I call," Bartagov said as he pushed all his chips in the middle and flipped over, yes, you guess it, {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

However, because Bartagov said call, it was only a call regardless of what Bartagov thought he meant.

The flop came down {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

"You can bluff now," Bartagov said as he checked to Negreanu who then moved all in. Bartagov made the call for his tournament life only to see Negreanu table {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and the river the {4-Hearts} and Bartagov was sent to the rail.

Heldar's Day Cut Short

Harvey Mathews made it 7,200 from the button before Jason Helder bumped it up to 19,500. Daniel Negreanu then moved all in for 105,200. Mathews folded and Heldar called off the rest of his stack.

Heldar: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Negreanu: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

It wasn't looking good for Heldar when the flop came down {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. The turn {7-Spades} and river {4-Clubs} were no help either to Heldar either.

Negreanu has moved up to 198,000.

Ying and Yang

Jerry Yang eliminated.
Jerry Yang eliminated.

Jerry Yang was all in preflop and at risk against Taurean Davis. Yang's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} was dominated by Davis' {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} and the former Main Event champion hit the rail.

After the knockout Davis is up to 294,000 chips.

Lusk Dusted

There were four players in a hand including Brian "Lusky" Lusk and Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola when the dealer flopped {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The action checked to Lusk who bet 25,000 and Papola min-raised to 50,000. The other two players folded and Lusk moved all in for 75,000. Papola made the call.

Showdown
Lusk: {A-Diamonds}{J-}
Papola: {A-Spades}{q-Spades}

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick, but the {4-Spades} on the river gave Papola a winning flush. The dealer was confused for a moment and thought Lusk was the winner.

"I have a flush," Papola blurted. "I get all the chips."

Indeed you do Mr. Papola, you are now our chip leader with 520,000 of them.
