Spitzer Send Ruzicka Home

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We caught up with table #442 where Eric Spitzer was busy trying to stack up a large pile of chips that used to belong to Czech pro Vojtech Ruzicka.

Spitzer told us that the chips went flying into the middle of a {5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds} board with Spitzer holding {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} in the big blind and Ruzicka the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} on the button. The {7-Spades} completed the board and Ruzicka was gone.

"His face told me he didn't have it," explained Spitzer, "I was afraid he may have had a six, though."

Weir Lays a Bad Beat on Agarwal

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Kyle Weir
Kyle Weir

Kyle Weir opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and Aditya Agarwal moved all in for 23,400, and after a short moment, Weir made the call.

Weir: {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Agarwal: {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The flop gave Agarwal some hope coming three spades: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}. It unfortunately gave Weir two pair and some outs to a full house. The turn {7-Spades} gave Agarwal the flush and he just needed to dodge Weir's four outs to the boat on the river. The dealer painfully flipped over an {a-Diamonds} and Agarwal's tournament was over.

The Force of Fourcade

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Guillaume Fourcade's Star Wars collection.
Guillaume Fourcade's Star Wars collection.

Guillaume has reinforced his defenses since yesterday. His collection of Star Wars figurines has grown, presumably for the extra strength needed to get through a Day 2.

He just scooped a decent pot when he called a bet preflop and check-called a 7,000 bet on the flop of {j-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players checked. He led out big after the {k-Clubs} came down on the river, but his opponent folded. He showed {k-Diamonds} for a boat and stacked up his newly-acquired chips next to his Star Wars collection.
