Charder Tanks His Way to Showdown

Ryan D'Angelo raised to 1,000, and two players called behind him. Then Christian Harder potted to 5,500 in the big blind. Only D'Angelo called. The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and Harder went into the tank. D'Angelo closed his eyes and got a few minutes of sleep in before Harder decided to check. D'Angelo checked behind, and on to the {8-Spades} turn. Two more deliberate checks followed the turn, and two more came after the {2-Spades} river. Charder turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and took the pot with his aces. He's up to 42,000 after the lengthy hand, while D'Angelo slipped to 22,000 but picked up some sleep.

Grinder Still Kicking

Michael Mizrachi was down to 4,100 when a player in front of him raised to 1,300. Mizrachi moved all in on the button, and his opponent looked him up.

Mizrachi: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

The {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop gave his opponent a world of outs, but the {7-Spades} and {3-Diamonds} came safely to double the Grinder to 9,000.

Cousineau Headed to the Rail

A player under the gun opened for 1,100. Tony Cousineau raised to 3,900. Mike Matusow made the call, as did the player under the gun.

The flop came down {4-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} and it was checked to Cousineau who made it 2,700. Matusow called and the player under the gun bet the pot, which put him all in. Cousineau snap-called and Matusow folded.

Cousineau: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {q-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Diamonds} and Cousineau's aces were no match for the two pair of his opponent.

Singer Makes the Call

The floor was just called to David Singer's table. Singer's opponent bet 2,800 on the river, and Singer called, tossing out 2,300. The other player turned up his hand, and Singer went to muck since he couldn't beat it. But when the dealer tried to get the other 500 out of him, Singer said he thought the dealer had announced the bet as 2,300. The floor ruled that Singer had to pay the full amount that the player had moved across the line as a bet. And Singer complied after he was allowed to say his piece.

Grinder Not Kicking Anymore

Michael Mizrachi bet 2,600 on a {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, and his lone opponent called. The turn brought the {7-Spades}, and Mizrachi moved all in. The other player called to put him at risk with {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for the turned straight. Mizrachi's {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} had boat and chop outs, but the {2-Diamonds} wasn't good enough to keep him in the game.

Boatman Sinks One

Barney Boatman's opponent fired 2,500 after the flop came out {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Boatman shipped it in, and the other player called with all of his smaller stack.

Boatman: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Shorty: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The {3-Spades} on the turn was a total blank, but the {8-Diamonds} on the river gave Boatman a flush and the knockout. He's up to 33,000 now.

Bye Bye Baby

On a flop of {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Scotty Nguyen raised all in on his opponent's 8,000 bet. His opponent made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Nguyen: {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The turn brought the {j-Hearts} and the river the {8-Hearts} and Nguyen's flopped trips ousted his opponent to send him to the rail and boost his stack to 67,000.
