Scott Montgomery Doubles Down

We reported earlier how Scott Montgomery had doubled up, well now we can report that he has just doubled down. The small blind moved all-in holding {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Montgomery called hollding {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} in the big blind. Despite a sweat on a flop of {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts} the {K-Clubs} and {3-Spades} turn and river were good cards for the small blind and he doubled up.

Grospellier Busts Booth

Bertrand Grospellier
Bertrand Grospellier

We caught up with the action during a preflop raising war between Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier and Brad Booth. It appeared that Booth initially opened from the cutoff and was three-bet by Grospellier from the big blind. Booth went all-in for his remaining stack and Grospellier snap-called.

Grospellier: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Booth: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Ouch.

No miracle came for Booth, as the board fell {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Hearts} and he was sent to the rail.

Grospellier is up to 210,000.

Lichtenberger Tank Folds the River

We caught up with the action on a completed board of {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Andrew Lichtenberger checked from the hijack-position to his lone opponent, Daryl Jace, in the cutoff - who overbet the pot all-in for his last 60,000. Lichtenberger fell hard into the tank. He mulled his decision over, got a count of Jace's stack, and mulled it over some more.

After over five minutes, one of Lichtenberger's opponent's decided he'd had enough and asked for a clock. A tournament director came over and annoucned Lichtenberger had 60 seconds to act on his hand or it would be dead. Lichtenberger continued to tank, however, he finally gave his hand up just as the tournament director began the ten-second countdown.

Jace is sitting on 95,000 following the hand while Lichtenberger is at 90,000.

Senti Moves Up and Kyle Julius Ships Out

The former November Niner, Jason Senti, has decided to give himself a gruelling World Series of Poker (WSOP) schedule. Prior to his 2010 7th place main event finish, Senti was a No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash game specialist, and much sought after coach. Senti is up to 174,000 after his opponent moved all-in on the river and he was sat in wait holding quads - how do you teach that!

Kyle Julius is out but his brother Ryan is still in. Kyle losing a flip with pocket eights against the ace-jack of Joseph Urgo. Urgo is now up to 285,000 chips.

The Fabled Table Breaks

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It has been fun, but Table #423 has disbanded and the poker warriors sent scurrying to other paths, but not until we had one last hand.

We joined the action on a flop of {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {3-Spades} with a whole host of players in the hand. The action checked around to Kevin Saul, on the button, and he bet 7,200. Next to act was Jeff Manza, in the small blind, and he check-raised to 15,700. Three folds later and Saul casually tossed in four orange 5k chips making it 27,200 to play. Manza made the call and we heading to the turn expecting carnage. The dealer gave us the {Q-Spades} and the table seemed to freeze in time, with the exception of the nodding-jesus toy, sat in front of Saul. Jesus was nodding away as both players eventually checked to the river. It was the {2-Clubs} on fifth street and Manza moved all-in. It only took Saul about one minute before he folded and Manza took in the pot. Saul said he folded pocket nines and Manza said he had a full-house.
