Team Pro Missteps

He was looking good early, but Team PokerStars Pro Raymond Wu has just made a misstep to see him fall just below starting stack.

When we came to the table their was a flop showing {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Wu was in the hand against one opponent. Both players checked and the {j-Clubs} was dealt on the turn.

On the turn, Wu led for 1,800 and his opponent made it an extra 2,500 to go. Wu then popped it another 8,200 and his opponent instantly shoved for another 18,400. Eventually Wu decided to fold and took the hit to his stack as his opponent took down the nice hand.

Grant Loses and Leaves

Grant Levy was one who flew into Cebu a few days early to enjoy some time at the Shangri-La Mactan resort with his young family. They were having a blast by the sounds of it, and now dad can spend some time in the pool after his recent elimination from the Main Event.

By the time we arrived at the table Levy was already standing and packing up his gear in apparent resignation as two other players were still involved in the hand. It was recalled to us that Levy was all in on the flop, before the other two went to war on the turn on a board of {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. One player eventually folded as Levy tabled {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for top pair with a straight draw, but he would need a lot of help to get past his opponent’s {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a flopped straight.

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Levy departed the Waterfront Casino

Occy Takes Small Hit

When we came to Octavian Voegele's table there was around 5,000 already in the pot and Voegele was heading to a {6-Spades}{a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop against one opponent.

On the flop, Voegele's opponent led for 3,000 and Voegele made a quick call as a {q-Hearts} was dealt on the turn. This time the player checked and Voegele through out 5,000. It was then a check-raise to Voegele who bet 5,500. Voegele's opponent then raised it up to 12,500 and it was back on Voegele who decided to let his hand go.
