Accorrding to Bernard Lee, it's been a boring past few levels without much action or hands coming his way. He did let us know about this one though.
After a short-stacked player jammed for 35,000 in chips, Lee re-shoved all in holding two jacks. His opponent held . Lee went on to flop a jack and hold from there to move up to 109,000 in chips.
Quickly rushing over we found Matt Marafioti's face up and a board of .
An opponent was cutting down chips equal to the amount that Marafioti had remaining, so one can only assume that he doubled through said player with his pocket nines.
On a flop of the action was checked to Carter Phillips who opted to fire out a bet of 15,000 with only Jerry Wong coming along.
When the turn landed the Wong led out for 30,000 and Phillips smooth-called to see the land on the river.
Wong moved all in for his last 130,200 and Phillips went deep into the tank before eventually making the call.
Wong tabled his for middle-pair, but it would be Phillips' for top-pair that would be enough to see him collect the pot and move to 520,000 as Wong made his way to the rail.
We were unable to catch exactly how it happened, but all we know is that Veronica Dabul has hit the rail.
She is however leaving two of her fellow Team PokerStars Team Pro members behind with Humberto Brenes and Arnaud Mattern still sitting high in the chip counts
Dustin Pattinson raised from late position, only to be faced with a reraise from Michael Lytle in the cutoff. Frank Guida made the call and Pattinson moved all in. Lytle snap called and Guida came along for the ride. Pattinson and Guida were at risk with Lytle having both of them covered.
Pattinson:
Lytle:
Guida:
The flop came down giving Pattinson a set. The fell on the turn and the on the river.
Pattinson is up to 230,000 while Lytle was crippled to around 6,000. Guida was eliminated and will have to find solace at the payout desk.
