When we arrived at Darren Judge's table he was in a hand with one player a couple of seats to his left and a flop showing . There were chips going in from both directions and before we could blink, Judges had all of his in the middle.
Judges gave a small sigh as he turned over his , but the sigh wasn't necessary as his opponent tabled .
Judges gave his opponent a quick fist pump in respect (and perhaps relief) as a and a completed the board.
"I've had enough run good already," said 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event Champion Oliver Speidel to Oliver Gill as Speidel dealt the fatal blow to his fellow Oliver.
The action on the hand in question saw two players limp before Gill raised it up to 900 from the button. Speidel then made it 2,700 from the small blind and the two limpers got out of the way.
This is when Gil shipped his stack in, which was around 13,000-chips deep. Speidel made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
Speidel:
Gill:
Gill got to his feet at this point and watched as the board was dealt out . The ace on the river was too much for Gill as he said to Speidel, "If i was going to lose to anyone, i'm glad it was you."
On the way out of the tournament area Gill told us that this elimination saw his Asia Pacific Poker Tour run-bad continue as he has never made a Day 2 in one of these events.
We came to Julian Hasse's table with a board showing and Hasse in a hand with one opponent. A big pot was already brewing at this point and while we arrived late on the turn, it was clear both players were committing 5,500 in chips.
The hit the river and completed the board as the action was on Hasse's opponent. After tanking for over a minute, Hasse's opponent shoved all in and Hasse quickly made the call, having his opponent covered by a small amount.
Hasse's opponent gave out a loud sigh and turned over his . Hasse then tabled his and raked in the nice pot as his opponent exited the tournament area.
Readers may remember Hasse's name from 2010 where he took down the PokerStars Macau Poker Cup Championship Main Event for more than HKD1,000,000.
From under the gun, Darren Judges raised to 500. In middle position, a player three-bet to 2,000. Action folded back to Judges and he moved all in for 11,300. His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes and then mucked the face up. Judges didn't show.
With 1,775 in the pot, the flop read between Michael Guzzardi and one opponent. Guzzardi checked the flop and his opponent bet 725. Guzzardi check-raised to 2,050 and that was good enough to take down the pot right there.
At the end of a hand we recently saw, Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin said to Daren Yoon, "Either I have you beat or you have me crushed," as she pondered a call.
Let's rewind back to the start of the hand though. Yoon was in the under the gun seat and he opened the action to 525 and received a call from the hijack, the button player and Lin in the small blind.
The flop saw Lin check and the Yoon lead out for 1,300. The hijack player folded and the button made the call, along with Lin.
The on the turn saw all three players check as the completed the board. Lin again checked and this time Yoon threw out 7,500. The player on the button thought for quite some time before letting it go, sending the play to Lin. Now we are back at the start of this post, with Lin thinking out loud, pondering the call.
When Lin eventually slid in enough chips to make the call, Yoon turned over . That was enough to send Lin's cards into the muck as she was apparently indeed crushed.
On the flop, Youcef Zalagh fired 1,450 and Luisa Helps raised to 3,500. After a minute in the tank, Zalagh gave it up and Helps won the pot. She's up to 26,000 while Zalagh dropped to 7,200.
