Climo Chips Up

Lance Climo called a 700-chip raise preflop to see a {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop fall.

Facing a small continuation bet, Climo bumped to an additional 1,600 as his opponent made the call before check-folding for 5,000 when the turn landed the {4-Hearts}.

Climo firstly tabled his {K-Diamonds}, and then the {Q-Hearts}, to see him collect the pot and move to 28,000 in chips.

Team PokerStars Pros Trotting Along

Lee Nelson looking to build his stack
Lee Nelson looking to build his stack

Two Team PokerStars Pros sit amongst the field today with Australian Team Pros Tony Hachem and Pro Lee Nelson battling it out.

Hachem's day has been pretty steady after winning a nice pot early with top set, Hachem has remained fairly quiet not getting too involved as he heads to break with 23,600 in chips.

Nelson on the other hand has been fairly active on his table that features Mishel Anunu and comedian Mike King. Unfortunately that activeness hasn't resulted to a huge accumulation of chips as the man with a nickname that resembles his impressive record - Lee 'Final Table' Nelson - has seen his stack at break slide down to 14,300.

With both players heading on a break, hopefully they will be able to use it to regain some composure and see their chip counts soar upwards as they make a run at not only a Day 2 berth, but also a spot on the final table.

Yoon Runs Into Full House

With the flop reading {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Daren Yoon bet 800 before his opponent put in a raise to 1,800, which he called.

The turn landed the {K-Spades} and Yoon checked, as his opponent put in a bet of 2,200. Yoon called and both players saw the {K-Hearts} on the river.

Yoon bet out 6,000 into the pot, before his opponent immediately raised to 15,000. Yoon tanked for a minute before releasing his hand into the muck as his opponent tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for a runner-runner full house.

Yoon drops down to 35,025.

Anunu Bluffs Unsuccessfully

Mishel Anunu
Mishel Anunu

Calling a 550-chip raise preflop, Mishel Anunu fired out bets of 850, 1,650 and 2,300 on each street with the board reading {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

His opponent called Anunu down tabling his {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a rivered flush as Anunu's {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a triple-barrel bluff wasn't successful as he slipped to 15,500 in chips.

Ramakrishnan Clipped

Raj Ramakrishnan opened the button to 550 from the cutoff and found action from the big blind as both players checked the {6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop.

The turn of the {A-Spades} was greeted with a 1,100-chip bet from Ramakrishnan before his opponent clicked it back; check-raising to 2,200 as Ramakrishnan made the call.

When the river landed the {5-Diamonds}, Ramakrishnan called his opponent's 2,200-chip bet only to be shown {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to force Ramakrishnan's cards into the muck as he slips to 18,800.
