Big Double for Edwards

When we were over at Table 27, Luke Edwards was busy shoving a small amount of chips on the turn of a {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Spades} board. There was more than 10,000 already in the pot and eventually Edwards opponent called.

Edwards held {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and his opponent {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. A brick on the river and Edwards doubled up.

Respect For Scarfe

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

We just walked past Andrew Scarfe's table and noticed he was in a hand against one opponent on a {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop. Scarfe's opponent led for 2,200 and Scarfe raised it up to 5,800. Scarfe's opponent tanked for a long time, with Scarfe having the player covered. Eventually the player decided to fold, throwing over his {a-}{k-} as he did so. Scarfe looked a little surprised as he raked in his chips.

Guillen Crashed, Jindal Leads

Not so long ago we mentioned that Team PokerStars Pro Angel Guillen managed to get himself up to around 50,000 chips. Too bad that didn't last long, since he just got eliminated. It was Vineet Jindal, who previously knocked out Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang, who took Guillen's chips.

Jindal explained that Guillen raised pre flop to 2,000, and both Jindal and another player called. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and according to Jindal Guillen bet 2,000 once more. Both his opponents called.

The turn was an {A-}, and Guillen checked to Jindal who bet 3,000. The third player folded, and Guillen moved all in for around 20,000 chips. Jindal called immediately with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, and Guillen was looking for help with {10-}{10-}. The river brought a blank, and Guillen's tournament ended.

The Number Are In

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

The number are in! Today officially saw 159 runners, far more than yesterday's 98. However, that means that the total number of entries overall is 257. While that is a solid number, disappointingly, it falls just three players short of last year's 260-player field.

The top prize that all the players are gunning for is $326,125. The top 28 players will be guaranteed $8,455. This is what the payouts looks like.

Jordanou Doubles Through Kambouroglou

Antonis Kambouroglou was in the big blind when he had put out a raise to 3,650. Billy Jordanou was under the gun +2, and he put in another raise to 6,200. Kambouroglou made the call.

The flop brought out {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and both players checked. On the turn the {7-Spades} hit, and Kambouroglou, who's better known as Toothpick Tony, lead out for 5,000. This was the sign for Jordanou to move all in, and he put his final 12.075 into the pot.

Kambouroglou wasn't going to fold as he called quickly.

"A set of aces?" Van Marcus asked Jordanou who flipped up {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

Kambouroglou showed {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and he was looking for an eight to win. The river was the {3-Spades}, and Jordanou doubled up.

Hachem Outflopped

Tony Hachem just raised it up to 1,100 from the hijack, and the lady to his left called. The player in the big blind called as well creating three-way flop action.

The flop brought out {6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Hachem continued by betting 1,800. The lady called, and the big blind folded.

On the turn, the {A-Clubs}, and the river, the {A-Spades}, the action got checked by both players. The lady turned over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Hachem said that he got outflopped again.

"Jacks," Hachem claimed, as he lost some chips. With just more than the starting stack he still has plenty to work with.
