Guzzardi Sends Loo Home

Action folded to Junzhong Loo in the hijack seat and he raised to 4,000. In the cutoff seat, Michael Guzzardi three-bet to 9,200. Action folded back to Loo and he moved all in for 44,400. When Guzzardi asked for a count, the dealer told him it was 32,000 to call. After a minute, Guzzardi called, but Loo was upset because it was actually 44,000 total. Still, Guzzardi had committed the chips and the hands were tabled.

Guzzardi: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Loo: {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Guzzardi won the pot to send Loo home. He's now up over 100,000 in chips.

Strong Play For Patry

When Guillaume Patry opened it up to 4,500 from the cutoff seat, the player in the big blind would make the call as a {j-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop hit the felt. The big blind player checked and Patry bet 4,500. This is when a check-raise was thrown in. Patry called the 11,000-chip bet and the turn was dealt.

Turn: {8-Diamonds}

Patry made the hand a lot simpler her, shoving all in for over 30,000. It was enough to quickly send his opponent's cards into the muck as he took down the handy little pot.

Big One for Severino

Jose Severino fired a hefty bet of 38,700 on the final board of {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. His opponent, Akira Ohyama, tanked for a couple of minutes and then tossed in the chips to make the call. After he did, Severino tabled the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a full house, tens full of eights. Ohyama mucked his hand and dropped all the way back to 35,000 while Severino climbed amongst the leaders with 175,000.

Check Raising

When we strolled past Vincent Rubianes' table there was a flop showing {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Rubianes had checked in front of one opponent. That player bet 5,500 and then it was back on Rubianes. This is when Rubianes threw in a check-raise, making it 22,000. Some cards went into the muck and Rubianes took down the small pot.

Three-Betting

Late in tournaments, aggression is key. With aggression comes three-betting and here are two recent examples of that from two players on separate tables. Each of them has a different plan of attack as you can see from their bet sizing.

On one table, Jeffrey Holbrook three-bet to 16,300 from the small blind after the button opened to 4,500. The big blind and the original raiser both folded and Holbrook took the pot to move to 57,000 in chips.

On an adjacent table, the hijack seat opened to 4,100 and Michael Guzzardi three-bet to 9,200 from the button. The two blinds and the hijack seat all folded to give Guzzardi the pot, allowing him to chip up to 66,000.

Three Big Ones

It is located in the far corner of the tournament area, but it has all the chips. Three of the biggest stacks in the room are currently at the same table. The average stack is around 80,000 at the moment and these three guys all have at least double that amount.

Scott On His Way Home

It's all over for Andrew Scott and we managed to catch how it went down. A player opened from the button and Scott moved all in from the small blind for 31,600. Scott's opponent then thought for almost a minute, getting the dealer to count out Scott's stack. Once he found out how much it was, he made the call and turned over {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Scott tabled {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and would need plenty of help to survive.

The {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts} flop gave Scott flush outs , but the {q-Hearts} on the turn was not encouraging. The {k-Diamonds} river meant it was all over.
