Zheng Cruising

The action folded around to Jackson Zheng in the cutoff and he opened it up to 1,250. Only Michael Kanaan in the big blind would make the call as the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop was dealt on the felt.

Kanaan was now first to act and would check to Zheng who bet out 1,400. Kanaan made the call and the {j-Clubs} would be dealt on the turn. Kanaan would again check and this time Zheng would bet 3,600. That amount was enough to send Kanaan into the tank, eventually making the call to see the {k-Clubs} complete the board on the river.

On the river, Kanaan again opted to check and this time Zheng would bet 7,200. Kanaan threw out a call and Zheng turned over {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a turned straight and an even better rivered straight. Zheng's hand simply made Kanaan sigh and shake his head as he flung his cards into the muck.

Here Comes Tobin

Another chip leader has emerged and we caught the action on the hand that pushed Tobin Ryall over 100,000 in chips.

When we came to the table there was a board showing {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Ryall was first to act against one opponent. He led out for 4,500 and his opponent made the call as the {k-Hearts} was dealt on the river.

Ryall would again bet, this time casually flicking out 20,000 in chips - more than enough to cover his opponent. The player made the all in call and Ryall turned over his {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

"I wouldn't have called if i didn't have the ace of hearts blocker," said Ryall's opponent as he sent his cards into the muck and made his way out the door.

Rubie On The Way Home

Prominent young poker player Brendon Rubie has just been spotted heading out the door. Rubie never seemed to gain any momentum, hovering at well under the starting stack for much of the evening.

Zheng On The Up

It all started with a limp from the under the gun player. Grant Levy was then in late position when he made it 1,900 to go. Jackson Zheng made the call from the big blind and so too did the limper.

All three players checked down the {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop and the {9-Diamonds} was dealt on the turn. This time Zheng would lead for 3,000 and the under the gun player would make the call, while Levy would get out of the way.

The {4-Spades} on the river would see Zheng continue his aggression, throwing out 5,800. This was enough to send his opponent's cards into the muck to take down the handy little pot.

A Few Gone; A Few Alive

Angle Play

When the action folded to Martin Kozlov on the button, he threw out a bet of 800. That was enough for a min-raise during the previous blind level, but in this level it was only good for less than half a min-raise. The dealer ruled that Kozlov must throw out at least 1,200. Levy noted that due to the small nature of the amount, it should in fact be deemed a call. Eventually the correct ruling was made and it was deemed that Kozlov made the call.

Levy then called from the small blind and Mishel Anunu tapped the table in the big blind. As the {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop was dealt Kozlov said, "angle shooting." Levy replied by saying, "Yeah, im treading carefully now."

On the flop, the play was checked to Kozlov who bet 1,050. This prompted Levy to fold, while Anunu made the call. The {k-Hearts} on the turn would see both players check as the {q-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Anunu again checked and Kozlov threw out 1,875. A call from Anunu would see Kozlov turn over his {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, his turned pair of kings enough to send Anunu's cards into the muck.
