Marquee Pros Off to a Slow Start

Joe Hachem, Vanessa Rousso, and Isabelle Mercier have all gotten off to a relatively slow start. All are hovering below the starting chip mark of 10,000, but obviously still very much a threat as long as they're still seated.

Action folded around to Victor Goossens who raised to 600. Yuji Okayama re-raised to 2,000 and Goossens made the call. The flop came 7-6-5. Goossens checked and Okayama bet out. Goossens raised enough to put Okayama all in and he made the call. The players showed:

Goossens: 9-9
Okayama: A-J

The turn and river were no help to Okayama and he was eliminated. Goossens is now working with about 16,000 chips.

Action folded around to Vanessa Rousso who limped in from middle position. Jacques Zaicik raised to 500 from the button and Rousso called.

Flop: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

Rousso checked and Zaicik bet 1,500. Rousso went into the tank, but eventually moved all in for 4,300 total. Zaicik quickly called and showed the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Rousso tabled the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and was in the lead. The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and the river came the {Q-Spades}. Zaicik's pair of queens was good enough to win the pot and eliminate Rousso.

Action folded around to Steven Gunter in the small blind. Gunter raised to 700 and Tuan Lam made the call from the big blind. The flop came {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Gunter bet 1,000 and Lam wasted no time calling. The turn card brought the {K-Diamonds}. Gunter bet again, this time 2,000. Lam moved all in for 6,000 total and Gunter called. The players showed:

Gunter: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Lam: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The dealer laid down the {5-Spades} on the river and Tuan Lam was eliminated.

Dan Idema Eliminated

We caught up to this hand with the board showing {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Dan Idema was all in for his last 4,000 holding the {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. His opponent showed the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}. The turn brought the {8-Spades} completing his opponent's flush. The river was meaningless as Idema was drawing dead. Idema, who finished 24th at the APPT event in Manila, was eliminated.
