"He's No Hero"

There were 2,000 chips in a pot contested between Brian McFadden and David Saab. On a board of {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {j-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, McFadden bet 600.

"Why so small?" Saab asked. It didn't deter him from making the call to see the {9-Spades} river. McFadden then came out with a bet of 3,000, which folded Saab. Delighted, McFadden opened an airball, {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}.

Saab could only shake his head. "Now I'm going to own your soul!" Then he added, "Aren't you a singer?"

Wesley "tEh_R3aLde4L" Whybrew Eliminated

Wesley Whybrew has been eliminated from the tournament after he had his pocket aces cracked.

The preflop action saw three players go the {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop in a raised pot. The small blind led 2,000 which Whybrew flat-called and the turn brought the {10-Clubs}. The aggressive small blind once again bet out, this time 7,000, more then enough to set Whybrew all in.

Whybrew made the call and tabled {A-Hearts}{a-Spades} to be well behind the small blind's {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} which outdrew him at the turn. The river was a brick sending the young American online tourney pro to the rail.

Wong Flops Nuts To Double

Brian Furness opened to 1,600 and found a caller in Peter Wong. On a board of {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} Furness led out for 6,000 and Wong instantly moved all in for 13,625.

Furness made the call tabling {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} but was in horrible shape against Wong's {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the flopped nut straight. The turn and river blanked out landing the {2-Hearts} and {J-Spades} as Wong doubled to 33,000 in chips.

Antonius Doubles

Catching the action on a flop of {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} Antonius check-called a 1,200-chip bet from Peter Wong. When the {10-Spades} landed on the turn, Antonius checked and Wong splashed the pot with a bet of 3,000.

Antonius moved all in for 4,250 and Wong called tabling {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} to be well behind Antonius' {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The meaningless {8-Diamonds} on the river saw Antonius double through to 14,000 as Wong slipped to 26,000 in chips.

Saab Having a Rough Time of It

Losing chips is no laughing matter
Losing chips is no laughing matter
Moments ago David Saab was forced to lay down a hand to pop singer Brian McFadden, who proceeded to show a complete bluff.

On a board of {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} Saab led 4,000, only for Gary Benson to play back at him for 13,000. After thinking for a few moments Saab decided not to make the call and again folded the river.

Saab is certainly not in danger though at 46,000.

Andrews Eliminates Moran

Shane Moran moved all in from under the gun for 2,050 and was called by Sorel Mizzi on the button and Danny Andrews from the small blind.

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{2-Spades} Andrews let out for 2,000 and Mizzi followed with a raise to 5,500. Andrews made the call and when the {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn it was checked to Mizzi who made it 8,450 with Andrews again making the call.

The river landed the {K-Clubs} and Andrews led out with a bet of 15,000 which prompted a fold from Mizzi. The all-in player Moran tabled {A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} but when Andrews turned over {k-Diamonds}{K-Spades} Moran stood up and vacated the tournament floor while Andrews raked in the pot sending him to over 66,000 in chips.

Daniel Kochan has taken a large pot in a confrontation with Gary Benson.

On a flop of {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} Benson checked to Kochan who fired 1,500. Benson then check-raised to 5,500, which Kochan called.

The turn {k-Clubs} saw Benson make a last ditch play at the pot, slamming 7,000 chips into the middle, again Kochan called. When the {k-Diamonds} completed the board at the river, Benson check folded to Kochan's 13,000 chip bet, sending the large pot to the online player.

Kochan hits 63,000. Benson drops to 17,000.

Antonius Is Back!

Antonius back in the black.
Antonius back in the black.
Chris Chronis opened to a raise of 1,500 and with the action on Patrik Antonius in the cutoff he reraised to 4,500 total. Chris Barratt was sitting in the small blind holding {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and bumped it to 9,000 total with both players making the call.

On a flop {3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{K-Clubs} Barratt checked, Chronis checked and then Antonius moved all in for his last 3,700. Barratt called and once Chronis was out of the way Barratt was shocked to see he had been out-flopped by Antonius' {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The turn fell the {2-Clubs} and river the {9-Spades} nearly trippling Antonius to 35,000 in chips.
