James Akenhead got his 58,400 chips all into the pot on a flop of , and Gary Pollak called to put him at risk. And in trouble:
Akenhead:
Pollak:
Akenhead thought he had a flush draw, but once Pollak tabled his hand, he saw the bad news that he was only live to his gutshot or running crazy cards.
Running crazy cards it is! The turn and river came and respectively, giving the pot and the double up to Akenhead in the most unlikely of ways. He's back to 170,000, and it's Pollak riding the short stack of less than 60,000.
We just had a frantic few moments on the table of Tom "durrrr" Dwan as he eliminated Nathan Lindsay and raked in a massive pot to once again sit on top of the chip count leaderboard and have the poker fraternity a little nervous.
The action went down on a flop of with Dwan checking to Lindsay who moved all of his chips into the middle. Dwan made the call.
Dwan:
Lindsay:
Dwan tabled top two and nut flush draw to have Lindsay in some trouble with his top pair, straight draw and inferior flush draw.
The turn was the and river the to leave Dwan's top two in front to send Lindsay to the rail. Dwan is now up to 560,000.
In heavy preflop action, Ali Aljenabi, Michael Binger, and Seamus Cahill got it all in three ways, Binger having both opponents covered. Cahill was the shortest of the stacks, and the cards were turned up before the flop:
Aljenabi:
Binger:
Cahill:
The board ran out , and that gives Cahill the triple up. He's at 280,000 now, and Aljenabi wins the side pot to put him at 155,000. Binger is the big loser in this pot, sliding down to 260,000.
Stephen Ladowsky raised from middle position to 14,000 with Noah Schwartz making the call before Tom Hanlon moved all in from the big blind for 42,000. Ladowsky moved all in over the top 135,000 but that didn't stop Schwartz from making the call as a huge three-way pot developed.
Hanlon:
Ladowsky:
Schwartz:
The board fell to give Ladowsky a flush to take down the pot and eliminate Handlon. Ladowsky is at 160,000 with Schwartz down to 105,000.
Eli Elezra and Tom Dwan tangled in a pot on a flop of . Elezra bet out full pot but Dwan got out of the way.
"I'm done trying to set you up," said Elezra as he showed for aces with an open-ended straight draw. "I'm going to play like the mobsters...Aces? Boom!"
James Akenhead made it 12,000 to go from middle position, and he found calls from [Removed:326] (cutoff), Thomas Bichon (button), and Jason Lester (big blind).
The four men took a flop of , and Lester and Akenhead checked. [Removed:327] bet 40,000 before Bichon moved all in for 173,000 total. That folded the two monkeys in the middle, but [Removed:327] made the call to put Bichon to the test.
[Removed:327]:
Bichon:
Bichon's flush draw was no good, but he was still in front with his pair of kings.
Turn:
Bichon was not so much in front anymore, and [Removed:327] had his man one card from elimination. When the landed on the river, Bichon tucked his chair under the table and headed out of the room.
The players are now taking a twenty-minute break. It will be the last one of the evening before we come back to play our final two levels of the evening.
The Brothers Boatman were just broken onto the same table, but the partnership didn't last long.
Under the gun, Tom Dwan made it 13,000 to go, and Barny Boatman called from the small blind. The two of them took a flop of , and both of them checked very slowly and deliberately.
The turn landed on the board, and Boatman slowly checked again. Dwan carefully stacked out 19,000 chips and placed them delicately into the pot. In a sudden quickening of the action, Boatman practically beat him into the pot with an all-in shove for about 40,000 total, and the call from Dwan came just as instantly to put Boatman in danger. And he was behind:
Dwan: (nut straight)
Boatman: (flush draw)
The river was the , and that was the wrong shade of black for Mr. Boatman. Unable to improve on his last chance, he's made his exit here late in the night.
Dwan has increased his chip lead over this field, and he has his table cowering to his 590,000-chip stack.
