Third Time No Charm for Portaro

Bruno Portaro was recently sent to the rail at the hands of Jennifer Tilly.

What remained of Portaro's stack went into the pot on a flop of {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Tilly called.

Tilly: {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Portaro: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Portaro needed runner-runner perfect to stay alive and found no help in the {3-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} on the turn and river. He exited while Tilly regained her starting stack.

Mastorakos Out

Jim Mastorakos has just been sent packing by Devin Shelly's {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. All the money went in on a flop of {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, with Mastorakos holding {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The turn and river fell the {7-Diamonds} and {3-Hearts}, and Mastorakos misses out on his first cash for the 2009 Aussie Millions.

Obst Rivers Book

On a board of {2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, James Obst moved all in over his opponent's river bet. After some deliberation, he made the call.

Obst tabled {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a rivered book while his opponent mucked their cards in disgust as they departed. Obst now sits on 16,500 in chips.

Portaro Doubles

Bruno Portaro just doubled his 725 short-stack to 1,500 when his {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} held up against his opponent's {9-Hearts}{10-Spades} on a board that fell {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Portaro has been having a tough time on his table, while Shane Warne enjoys a massage two seats to his left.

Delaney CRUSHER'ed

Ben 'CNT_CRUSHER' Delaney has just been booted by Michael Chrisanthopoulos.

Facing three limpers ahead of him, Delaney bumped it to 600. Once the action was on Chrisanthopoulos, he reraised to 2,600 total from under the gun. It folded to Delaney, who moved all in and was insta-called by Chrisanthopoulos who held {A-?}{A-?} to Delaney's {10-?}{10-?}.

The board bricked out for the new up-and-comer. He headed to the rail as Chrisanthopoulos chipped up to over 26,000.

Sachinidis Wins the Minimum

Bjorn Van Bavel made it 300 to go from under the gun. It folded around to Jim Sachinidis, the big blind, and he made it 1,200 to go. Van Bavel made the call.

The flop fell down {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and both players checked to the turn of the {K-Hearts}. Sachinidis led out for 1,000 and Van Bavel called.

The river landed the {4-Spades}, and Sachinidis made it 2,200 to go and again Van Bavel called. Sachinidis tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} for top set while Van Bavel flashed his {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for second set.

Sachinidis shook his head while raking the pot and then proceeded to rant, "How do you not go broke there! Cause I do!"

The river landed the {4-Spades} and Nathan fired 4,000. His opponent made the call and mucked at the sight of Nathan's {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Nathan is now up to 24,000 as his opponent is left crippled.

Guttman on Fire

Michael 'Sticky' Guttman is on fire at the moment. He's sent another to the rail and had accumulated a chip stack of over 34,000.

Most recently, we caught the action on the flop of {A-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, where the small blind led out for 1,500. Guttman reraised to 3,000 and the small blind made the call.

The turn fell the {10-Diamonds}, and the small blind moved all in for 5,475 with Guttman quick to make the call holding {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for two-pair against his opponent's {A-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The river landed the {K-Diamonds} to see yet another player hit the rail at the hands of Sticky.
