No More Bain Comeback

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

The comeback is over for Tristan Bain as he has hit the rail.

We caught up with the action with Terence Clee betting 5,000 on the flop of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Bain announced all in and Clee immediately asked for a count. Bain had 14,750 total and Clee made the 9,750 call, which put Bain at risk.

Bain was ahead with the {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but had to dodge a lot of outs as Clee was holding {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for an open ender and a flush draw.

The turn {J-Diamonds} sealed Bain’s fate as Clee hit his flush and the insignificant {A-Clubs} was on the river. Clee has now moved up to over 50,000 in chips.

Truong Building The Stack

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tam Truong is back at the venue where he won the Summer Series 5k Challenge last December for just under $100,000 and he could continue his run at The Star if his chip stack continues to grow.

Truong was in a hand and he three bet to 2,600 after the under-the-gun position had raised to 1,200. The action folded to under the gun and he put out a four bet of 6,100. Truong then five-bet to 9,500 and under-the-gun made the call. The flop came {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and the action checked to Truong who bet 5,000 and took down the pot. Truong has now moved up to over 60,000 in chips.

Young Sent to the Rail

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Rory Young has been sent to the rail at the hands of Minjae Park.

We arrived at the table on the turn with Young betting 4,500 on the board of {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Park called him.

The river fell the {J-Clubs} and Rory made a pot-sized bet, shoving all in. After receiving a count Park would have to call 20,525. Park took a few minutes and grabbed the chips in his hand and dropped them on the table in front of him to make the call.

It was clear on Young’s face that he wasn’t happy with the call and as he turned over {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} Park let out a scream of excitement and showed his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for top pair and the winning hand. Park eliminated Young and moves up to a 65k chip stack.

Khouiss Sends Barrett Home

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Josh Barrett found himself short-stacked and shoved under the gun for 6,725 when Sam Khouiss met Barrett with a call from the small blind.

It was a race with Barrett having {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} against Khouiss {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

The board ran {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} giving no help to Barrett who was eliminated.

Khouiss has now climbed to over 35,000.

Truong in the Cookie Jar

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Tam Truong had his hand caught in the cookie jar.

The action started with Joel Douaglin limping from under the gun. A middle position player raised to 1,800, Truong called from the small blind and Douaglin also made the call to see the flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Both Truong and Douaglin checked to their opponent who made a continuation bet of 2,500. Truong made the call but Douaglin folded his hand. The turn {7-Spades} came and both players checked and a fourth spade fell on the river with the {3-Spades}.

Truong bet out 3,500 and his opponent sighed and cut out the 3,500 and made the call. Truong showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and his opponent held {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for top pair. Despite losing the pot, Truong still has a strong chip stack.
