Jordon Busts For the Fifth Time

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Terry Jordon's erratic and creative style of play has seen him climb to incredible heights so far today, but also a fair share of lows as he was on his fifth bullet.

He was just down to 10,000 and moved all in on a flop of J♥7♣Q♥ from early position. Jay Villegas called in the big blind.

Terry Jordon: 8♠7♥
Jay Villegas: 10♥9♥

Jordon had a pair of sevens, while Villegas had straight and flush draws. The A♥ turn completed his flush and Jordon was already drawing dead heading to the A♠ river.

Ian Simpson: A♠Q♦

The board ran out 3♣10♥5♣2♥2♦ and Simpson won the pot with ace-high, sending Erhan to the rail.

Three-handed on a board of 4♣7♣8♠2♦ and 15,000 in the pot, Katie Swift bet 6,000 from the big blind and Lucia Navarro called in early position.

Simon Chan tanked for a moment in the small blind before mucking as Swift and Navarro went heads-up to the J♥ river. Swift then moved all in for around 20,000.

Navarro quickly gave up her hand and Chan let out a loud groan as Swift took the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Yiannis Liperis raised to 2,500 in the cutoff, then called when Pavel Sergheiciuc moved all in for around 10,000 on the button.

Pavel Sergheiciuc: Q♥J♠
Yiannis Liperis: A♣4♥

Liperis made a pair on the 4♥7♠8♣ flop, then improved to two pair on the A♠ turn and left Sergheiciuc drawing dead. The Q♠ river gave Sergheiciuc his own pair, but it wasn't enough to avoid heading to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up on a board of 4♥A♣6♠A♠ and with 30,000 already in the pot, Daniel Laidlaw bet 24,000 from the cutoff.

"Hmm," Yucel Eminoglu said as he turned around to take a bite of his pizza and consider the decision. He eventually called and the river came the 7♣.

Laidlaw then moved all in for 69,400. "I don't even have a pair. I think you are bluffing," Eminoglu said as he went deep into the tank.

Several minutes went off the clock as Eminoglu continued to talk. "I swear that's a bluff. I'm trying to get myself to call this hand. I can beat king-jack, king-ten," he said.

"I'm going to let you have it," he eventually said, sliding his cards into the middle. Laidlaw let him choose one of his cards, and Eminoglu turned over the Q♥.

"King-queen. I knew it," Eminoglu yelled out.
