Lombardo on the Move

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

John Lombardo has enjoyed his recent table change, taking out a player shortly after taking his seat. His opponent moved all in with a short stack holding {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and he just happened to wake up with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to see him race up to 190,000 in chips.

It's Been a Long Time

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

"It's been a long time since i ran aces into kings," said Ivan Zalac. "And it held up!"

We didn't catch the hand, but apparently Zalac won a massive pot holding {a-}{a-} against {k-}{k-} and now has around "Three-Fifty...ish"

Nuts will do it for Gray

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

When we arrived at Table 20, Jordan Westmorland and Jason Gray were deeply involved in a hand on a {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} board. By the time we caught the action, Wesmorland had a bet of 22,500 in front of him and Gray had moved all in for 39,700 more. Westmorland eventually made the call and watched on as Gray turned over {6-Spades}{5-Spades} for the nuts (at this point). Westmorland held {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and was going to need a heart to take the pot off Westmorland.

The river was a {q-Clubs} and with that, Gray had doubled up while Westmorland fell to around 80,000.

Warner's Pot

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ashley Warner opened to 4,000 from late position and was called by Andrew Rogers on the button as well as John Lombardo in the blinds.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} before Lombardo instantly bet out 7,000. Warner didn’t looked to concerned, reaching for chips and raising it up to 17,500. Rogers was out of there quickly, but Lombardo contemplated the decision for a minute before opting to fold.

Yan Applies the Pressure

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The action started with [Removed:17] opening to 6,000 from under the gun. Bowdy Tolhopf was in middle position and raised it up to 12,000 as the table folded back around to Yan. He made the call as both saw the flop come down {4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Yan led out for 7,000 and was called. The {9-Hearts} fell on the turn and Yan bombed out a bet of 35,000. Tolhopf made the call as both watced the {5-Clubs} get produced on the river. Yan then bet out over 100,000 in chips which had Tolhopf covered, and after tanking for over a minute released his hand into the muck.

Pittock No More

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Former Crown Poker Room Tournament Director Jonno Pittock has recently made his way to the rail. We didn't catch his elimination hand, but we do know that he called a small raise preflop out of the big blind holding {9-}{7-} and then got it all in on a {9-}{9-}{k-} flop against an opponent's flush draw. The flush ended up getting there and that's all she wrote.

The board showed {2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades} and after not improving he was sent to the rail.
