Kaiser Eliminates Leandrou

Just before the last break, Ronny Kaiser raised from early position and then called when George Leandrou moved all in from the small blind for 68,000.

Showdown

Leandrou{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Kaiser{A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop kept Leandrou in the lead, but it gave Kaiser a flush draw to go with his overs. The {K-Spades} turn ended up pairing Kaiser's king, and after the {7-Hearts} was put out on the river, Leandrou was sent to the rail.

Just Quads For Haddox

Neil Ryder was all in preflop for 44,000 with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, and Randy Haddox made the call with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The {j-Diamonds} was in the window, but it wouldn't stop there, as the flop ran down {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. The turn brought the {j-Spades}, giving Haddox quad jacks, and the meaningless river was the {9-Hearts}. Haddox collected the chips, and he is now sitting on 910,000.

Strauss Out In The Money

The cries of "all in and call," have been blasting throughout the room at a quick pace of late. One of those calls was referring to Jason Strauss who was all in preflop against Farhan Madhani. Here is what the cards looked like.

Madhani: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Strauss: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Strauss would need plenty of help if he was going to survive, but when the {2-Hearts} hit the turn and the {q-Diamonds} fell on the river, it was over for Strauss.
