Crain Soars, Rofman Falls

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Eric Crain
Eric Crain

Picking up with the action on a board of {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}, we found Eric Crain come out swinging with a bet of 21,000. Lev Rofman, Crain's sole opponent, called the bet.

Fourth street brought the {7-Clubs} and Crain shot out 37,000. Rofman stuck around once more and the {A-Diamonds} hit the river. Crain checked and Rofman quickly checked it back.

"I have the ace," said Crain, rolling over {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Rofman slammed his hand on the table and threw his cards at the muck. Crain dragged in the pot and is now sitting at about 360,000.

Battle Over de Goede's Blind

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Pim de Goede hasn't returned from break yet, so his 1,500 small blind was up for grabs. Jaspal Brar opened in the hijack for 13,000 and it almost work but Nicholas Halvorson in the big blind reraised to 28,000. Brar called and we saw a {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. Both players checked and off came the {2-Diamonds}. Halvorson again checked but this time Brar followed with a bet of 33,000. Halvorson reluctantly folded.

Jeffrey Doubles Through Rofman

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Lev Rofman opened with a raise to 14,000 before the flop and it folded around to Dennis Jeffrey who three-bet all in for 35,000 from the button. Action came back to Rofman who called.

Jeffrey showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and was up against Rofman's {Q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Jeffrey's ace-high was still in the lead. It stayed that way through the {K-Clubs} on the turn and the {A-Diamonds} on the river. Jeffrey was able to double to about 80,000 while Rofman has fallen to around 170,000.

Sunny Chattha Eliminated in 16th ($6,478)

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Sunny Chattha
Sunny Chattha

Sunny Chattha just lost a big pot where he got check-raised on the river and he called. His opponent showed the nuts which proved an expensive mis step.

The hand after he opened to 10,000 and next door neighbor Jaspal Brar made it 23,500 to go. When the action folded back to Sunny Chattha he announced all in for 97,000. That was a little bit to much for this pot-limit format, but the intention was clear to Brar who eventually went for it and put his chips in as well.

Chattha showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} while Brar had {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to battle with. The flop was a devastating one for Chattha: {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The turn didn't bring any excitement and Chattha was drawing dead: {6-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} didn't matter and Chattha walked calmly to the pay out desk.
