Guerin Done

Didier Guerin has just been knocked out, and he explained to us what happened. There was an under the gun raise to 1,600 and Guerin opted to call with {9-}{9-}. The player in the small blind called as well.

The flop brought out {10-}{8-}{2-} and the initial raiser bet 3,000, both Guerin and the small blind called.

On the turn the {K-Diamonds} hit and all three players checked. The river brought out a {9-}, and Guerin hit his set. The small blind all of a sudden bet 13,000 and the initial raiser folded. Guerin tanked for a very long time and said that he thought that just calling would've not been the right move. He raised all in for 27,000 total and his opponent called right away with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. Guerin lost his chips and left the tournament room.

Flush for Katchalov

On the button, Craig Cockburn raised to 1,200. Team PokerStars Pro Eugene KatchalovTeam PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov called from the big blind, and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and paired the board. Katchalov checked, Cockburn bet 1,075, and Katchalov made the call.

Then, the {4-Diamonds} finished the board on the river. Katchalov checked, as did Cockburn before turning up his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Katchalov showed the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush and won the pot.

Li Gives One Up

Bjorn Li burst onto the scene last year this past January when he finished sixth in the Aussie Millions Main Event. Li took home A$230,000 and showed that his agressive style was very effective. Li is doing well again here on Day 2, but he just gave up a little pot to Andrew Scott.

It seemed as though Li had three-bet his opponent from the blinds, and Scott called the extra 2,300 before the dealer brought out {9-Spades}{K-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

Li fired out 3,925 on the flop and Scott made the call. On the turn the {J-Clubs} hit and both players checked. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Li checked again. Scott casually threw out 5,000 and Li tossed his cards into the muck.
