Reed Runs Out of Chips

Michael Reed raised under the gun, and Daniel Idema went ahead and reraised enough to put him all in from the small blind. Reed turned over {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for his tournament life, and he was flipping for double or nothing against Idema's {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}.

The board ran out sour for Reed as it came {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Unable to improve his overcards, Michael Reed has run out of chips, and he has been eliminated in 20th place, two spots shy of a payday.

Hand By Hand We Go

With the elimination of Michael Reed, we are now squarely on the money bubble. The tournament is being dealt hand-for-hand until we find one more knockout, our unlucky bubble boy who will go home with nothing but the proverbial wooden spoon.

Keikoan Mounting a Comeback

Simon Morris raised before the flop, and Matt Keikoan put in a third bet. Heads up, the two players took a flop of {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and they both checked.

That brought them to the {4-Clubs} turn, and Keikoan flat-called a Morris bet. That action repeated on the {2-Hearts} river, and Morris turned up {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} for top pair. It was no good, though; Keikoan flipped up {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} for the big overpair, good enough to earn the pot and move his way up to 190,000.

Morris is back to 170,000.

Walsh Nearing the Felt

Patrick Walsh open-raised, Daniel Idema three-bet and Walsh made the call. Both players checked the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop. The turn came the {10-Spades} and Walsh check-called a bet from Idema. Same story when the {4-Clubs} hit the river.

Idema turned over pocket aces and took down the pot, leaving Walsh on only 20,000 in chips.

Chiu Finds Aces

Albert Minnullin raised from the cutoff seat, and David Chiu three-bet him from the big blind. The two men took a flop of {6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, and Minnullin called a Chiu bet.

That action was the same on the {Q-Clubs} turn and the {3-Diamonds} river, Minnullin calling bets on all streets. At the end, Chiu tabled {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, and it was the winner-winner. Minnullin's cards hit the muck, and Chiu started chattering: "Right before that hand, I said, 'Just give me aces. The hell with it. I'll go all in.'"

DeBora DeBusto

DeBubble
DeBubble

Greg DeBora was just eliminated on the bubble and our 18 remaining players are all in the money.

Simon Morris raised from the button and DeBora called all in for 25,000 from the big blind.

Debora {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Morris {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Debora hit the rail.

We're now redrawing for seats on two tables.
