Craig "HU4ROLLZ" Bergeron
Craig "HU4ROLLZ" Bergeron, who finished as runner-up in Event #4, has been sent to the rail early in Event #6.

He lost much of his stack when he called an opponent's all-in bet on a board reading {4-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. Bergeron held {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} while his opponent tabled {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. The turn and river were blanks for Bergeron who was eliminated shortly thereafter.

That's How They Roll Online

Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi
Preflop, Karib Karib opened with a raise before Sorel Mizzi re-popped it. Karib made the call and then shoved all in for his last 3,500 on a flop of {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Mizzi made the call with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for ace high as Karib held the lead with his {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

That is, until the {a-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn to give Mizzi a pair of aces and the lead. The river was the {K-Clubs} and Karib is eliminated as Mizzi is up to 15,000 chips.

Lechich Takes Control on Topakas

On a board of {10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} Steve Topakas led out and Tino Lechich made the call. The turn fell the {8-Hearts} and Lechich raised Topakas out of the pot.

Topakas flashed {A-?}{10-?} while Lechich showed his semi-bluff with {J-Spades}{7-Spades} for a straight and flush draw.

Only a few hands later the two were back at it, with Lechich making a backdoor flush with {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} on a board of {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} with Topakas leading the betting and then calling Lechich's raise on the river.

After the two hands Lechich jumped to 14,000 as Topakas slipped down to 5,500 in chips.

Saab Doubles Through Ashby

Richard "Chufty" Ashby limped in from middle position and David Saab popped it up to 700 in the big blind. Ashby then reraised to 2,500 sending Saab into the tank, but eventually he reraised all in.

Ashby sighed before calling with {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}, trailing Saab's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. The board ran out {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {A-Hearts} and Saab doubled to 14,000. Ashby took a hit down to 8,000.

Pickering Falls Victim To xMONSTERxDONGx

Jonathan Karamalikis and Jamie Pickering took a flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and Pickering fired out 700 with Karamalikis making the call.

The river landed the {4-Hearts} and Pickering checked to Karamalikis who bet 2000 which was enough to put his opponent all in. Pickering made the call and Karamalikis tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a straight.

Pickering sat motionless for a few moments, seemingly absorbing what had just unfolded before clarifying with the dealer that Karamalikis indeed had a straight. When the bad news was confirmed he exited the floor as "xMONSTERxDONGx" is now up to 20,000.
