Ben Delaney has been eliminated
Ben Delaney just busted after his {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} failed to improve against an opponent's pocket nines. The board ran out {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and despite adding a flush draw on the flop, Delaney was sent to the rail.

After Sander Aalders raised to 5,000, one player flatted and then Mark Vos moved all for about 49,000 total. Aalders made the call and then the other player folded.

Vos tabled {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} and Aalders {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}.

The board ran out {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} to send Vos to the rail.

Jabberwalking

Former big stack Sayed Jabbour has recently been sent to the rail by new big stack Mike Ivin.

With the board showing {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Ivin led out with a 30,000 bet and Jabbour came over the top, moving all in for 90,000. Ivin made the call and tabled a pocket pair of threes, in bad shape against Jabbour's {10-?}{9-?}.

No matter, the {3-Spades} spiked on the turn, giving Ivin a full house. The river blanked ({7-Clubs}) and Ivin's boat held up to win the pot.

Ivin stacked up right around 350,000 in chips after the hand.

Grant Gets a Fold

Team PokerStars Pro, Grant Levy min-raised under the gun. The player to his left bumped it up some more, with what looked like another min-raise, putting 8,200 total into the pot. Levy called, and the players saw a {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop. It was apparently good enough for Levy, who shoved all-in for his last 29,000. After some deliberation his opponent folded, and Levy flipped over the {7-Hearts}Th}.

Levy has about 50,000 after the hand.

Pettersson Moves to 365k

[user38449]
Anders Pettersson has skyrocketed from 50,000 in chips to 365,000 after winning three key pots in a span of about 45 minutes.

Peterson scored big holding {Q-?}{Q-?} against {A-?}{5-?}, then again holding pocket twos against {8-?}{2-?} on an {8-?}{5-?}{2-?} board, and finally, pocket sixes against {K-?}{Q-?} on a {6-?}{7-?}{9-?} board.

One of the hands -- we're not sure which -- was played against former big stack Sam Youssef, who dropped to 110,000 in the process.

Joseph Allis had his opponent all in on a {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} board. His opponent had the {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, while Allis held pocket jacks. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and the river was the {7-Spades} and Allis eliminated the all in player, and stacked around 260,000 after the hand.
