Extra Baggage for Porter

Bryan Porter is up over the million mark after a curious hand.

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy raised to 26,000 and Porter called. In the small blind, Peter Kaemmerlen reraised to 100,000. Kochelaevskiy folded but Porter shoved for another 320,000, Kaemmerlen called and they were on their backs.

Kaemmerlen: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Porter: an interesting but very live {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Board: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Porter made top pair, and it was good to win the monster pot.

No Bread for Baker

David Baker, reduced to just 55,000, shoved in early position with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and got a call from Scott Lipshutz in the big blind holding {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Board: {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Lipshutz' jack spiked on the flop, and Baker was tournament toast. He shook hands with everyone at his table and headed for the payout room.

Lipshutz meanwhile increased to 250,000.

Motown No Good for Yee

Ryan Yee moved all in for his last 28,000 from under the gun before Peter Kaemmerlen re-raised to 45,000. Michael Kamran put in a fourth bet to 115,000 and Kaemmerlen opted to get out of the way.

Yee: {j-Spades}{5-Spades}
Kamran: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Yee was as actually in OK shape before the dealer flopped {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn ended the hand making the {9-Hearts} on the river but a formality.

Yee was eliminated and Kaemmerlen chipped up to 550,000.

Losing His Hedlund

Peter Hedlund has become the latest casualty of this no-limit massacre. He shoved under the gun for 117,000 with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} but smacked right into Bryan Porter's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. There was a glimmer of hope for Hedlund on the flop, but the turn and river did nothing for him and he headed for the door.

Porter is now up to 1.1 million.

Baron Busts

Westmenlo55?
Westmenlo55?

Sam Capra started the action by raising to 30,000. Isaac Baron moved all in for 183,000 and Scott Lipshutz re-shoved having both players covered. Capra folded.

Baron: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Lipshutz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Baron did not improve with the {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board, eliminating him from the tournament. Lipshutz is up to 500,000 chips.

Bonavena Doubles Up

We caught up with Salvatore Bonavena checking the {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop to Craig Marquis, who went all in to cover Bonavena. Snap-call.

Marquis: {j-}{10-}
Bonavena: {a-}{a-}

Turn: {k-Diamonds}

River: {8-Clubs}

Bonavena doubled to 340,000.

Level: 21

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Ante: 2,000

Lost Boyes

The chips all went in preflop, as they often do with these sorts of hands.

Jason Boyes: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Vladimir Kochelaevskiy: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Board: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}

Boyes turned an ace, but it was already too late for him as Kochelaevskiy flopped a set.

Boyes - busto
Kochelaevskiy - 1.3 million
