Watch Out for Seidel

Erik Seidel put in a small raise preflop only to have Fabrizio Gonzalez reraise to 4,600 on the button. Max Stern called from the big blind and Seidel responded by making it 13,100 more to go. Gonzalez made the call while Stern got out of the way.

When the flop came down {3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Seidel moved all in for his last 34,000 and Gonzalez hit the tank. He thought for a couple of minutes before tossing his cards in the muck. Seidel is up over 75K.

Dehkarghani Hands Tehan a Double

Raymond Dehkarghani raised to 3,200 in middle position and Nathaniel Wiesner called in the hijack. Joe Tehan then raised the pot on the button. Dehkarghani raised which got Wienser to fold and Tehan called all in for the 24,000 he started the hand with.

Tehan: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Dehkarghani: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to give Dehkarghani top-top to go along with the nut-low draw but Tehan’s aces were still ahead for the time being. The {9-Diamonds} turn was an absolute brick as was the {10-Spades} river and Tehan’s aces held on for the double up.

Heimiller Busts Caridad

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Dan Heimiller and Juan Caridad got most of the money in on the flop of {8-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Caridad announced he was all in blind on the turn and the dealer waited for Heimiller to act. Of course, he wanted to see the turn card first even though he would likely call anyway so the dealer "burned and turned" the {3-Hearts}. Heimiller did call and the hands were revealed.

Heimiller: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Caridad: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The river was the {8-Spades} and made Heimiller a better two pair than Caridad which was good enough to scoop the pot. He now has 100,000 in chips and is towards the top of the leaderboard.

That's What Binger Said

On a flop of {J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, action checked to Nick Binger in the cutoff and he bet 10,000, which only Jean Said called from early position. When the dealer burned and turned the {K-Clubs}, Said checked, Binger bet, and Said called off his stack of 8,300.

Binger: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Said: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds} bricked on the river and Binger scooped the pot; meanwhile, Said was eliminated from the tournament.

Big Stack Laak

Leonid Bilokur raised to 4,000 in middle position and it appeared as though Phil Laak re-raised the pot from the small blind. In any case, Bilokur moved all in and Laak snap-called.

Laak: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Bilokur: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Even before the flop came down, Bilokur was out of his seat and nearly out the door. He must have known that the board would provide no help to him as it came {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds} to give Laak aces up and eliminate Bilokur.

Jin Stuck in Quick Sands

David Sands, known best for his online handle "Doc Sands", has just won a big pot against Cailin Jin that has made him a member of the 100k club. We came to the table on the turn, with the board reading {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The pot had 11,000 in it, and Sands bet out 9,200. Jin then tried to move all in, but could only bet 25,600, the size of the pot. That left him with 4,500 behind, and Sands had a tough decision. After about two minutes of thinking, he slid in the call. The river came the {q-Clubs}, completing a flush and putting a pair on the board. Sands put enough chips in to put Jin all in, and he started to shake his head. Despite putting in nearly all of his chips, it seemed clear that Jin couldn't beat any of the draws that came. Jin folded, and Sands took down the pot without a showdown.
