Saab's Aces Cracked, Then Eliminated

With blinds at 150-300, David Saab opened to 700 on the button and Graeme Putt made the call.

On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Saab bet 600 and was check-raised to 2,600 by Putt. Saab then moved all in and Putt made the call.

Putt: {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Saab: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

As the turn was about to be dealt, Saab jumped from his chair and screamed, "Alright, hold up!" However when the {J-Hearts} fell on turn, Saab would need some help. The {10-Diamonds} hit the river Saab slipped to only 2,400 in chips.

On the following hand, Saab got his last few thousand in chips into the middle with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} agasint Putt's {8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The board would fill out {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Clubs} to see Putt take the game and a one-zero lead into their second match.

Solomon Makes the Money

HU4ROLLZ . . . you sure?

Without even hearing a murmour from the rail, Jarred Solomon has won his first two round three matches to progress through the money and into the quarter finals.

In the last hand Solomon held {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} to Bergeron's {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, all in preflop on a board that ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

Solomon will face either Graeme Putt or David Saab in the quarter finals; but they may not be for some time as the both of them are only minutes into their first match.

Bloom Busted by Torelli

After doubling Tony Bloom up with {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} against {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} all in on the flop with the board filling out {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Alec Torelli took Bloom down a few hands later to advance to Round Three.

Catching the action with the cards tabled, it was Torelli's {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} up against Bloom's {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades} on a board that read {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Spades}.

The runner-up in the 2008 WSOP $10,000 World Championship Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em to Kenny Tran still has a chance to make amends and capture this title when he returns to play either Michael Wywrot or Wesley Whybrew.
