Kasputis Jr Doubles Through Foutty

With the board reading {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and about 60,000 in the middle, Jim Kasputis Jr. found himself facing a decision after he bet 45,000. Stephen Foutty raised all in with a slightly bigger stack.

After a little while in the tank, Kasputis Jr called with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Foutty sheepishly tabled {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and was not saved by the {2-Spades} river. Foutty busted shortly thereafter.

Andrews Jumps to Second; Busts One

Cherish Andrews In the Millionaire Club
Cherish Andrews In the Millionaire Club

We found Cherish Andrews looking down at a board of {6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. With over 400,000 in the pot, Andrews announced that she was all in for her remaining 470,000. Her opponent pondered for over a minute before announcing a call.

Andrews showed {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}.

"They're good," announced her opponent as he threw away his hand. The mass of chips in the middle of the table were pushed to Andrews and as she had her opponent covered, she was able to effectively reduce the field by one.

Aron Sets Up Lehmanski

With about 85,000 in the pot and the board reading {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, Michael Aron's bet of 35,000 was raised to 82,000 by Maximilian Lehmanski.

After about 90 seconds in the tank, Aron re-raised to 190,000. A call from Lehmanski landed the {K-Diamonds} on the river where Aron fired 325,000. Lehmanski called after mulling it over, but mucked when Aron tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for a set.

Tran KO's Miller, Then Gives Some Back

After each committing 60,000 chips before the flop, JC Tran and Thomas Miller saw a flop of {4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{A-Clubs}.

Miller open shipped all in for his remaining 160,000 and Tran snaped. Tran showed {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} for top two and was killing Miller's {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The board was completed with the {7-Spades} and the {10-Spades} and Miller was sent to the rail while Tran was able to absorb his chips.

However, Tran lost those chips back a few hands later.

The Big Lehmanski

Maxi Lehmanski, Our New Chip Leader
Maxi Lehmanski, Our New Chip Leader

We caught the remnants of a giant preflop all in pot. With well over 600,000 in the middle, Maximilian Lehmanski was holding {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against John Dull's {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Lehmanski was still in the lead. At this point railbirds came flocking to look down at all of the commotion. The turnw as the {2-Clubs} and Lehmanski was one card away from skyrocketing into the chip lead and sending Dull home.

The {8-Hearts} rivered and just like that Dull's hopes of a huge double up were crushed and Lehmanski became the man on top.

Cada Doubles With Red Jacks Again

Joe Cada raised to 22,000 before the flop and it folded to Jonathan Poche who three-bet all in. Cada snap called and tabled {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, the very hand that scored him his double up before the break. Cada was way ahead against Poche's {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The board fell {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Poche was not able to catch up by hitting one of the two remaining tens. Thanks to his jacks holding, the 2009 Main Event champion is now sitting on 455,000.
