Oliver Speidel Emerges

Oliver Speidel has just managed to double up from 15,900 after crippling an opponent in the early stages of this level.

The money was all in before flop and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Speidel: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board was spread {5-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Speidel is now on a healthy stack worth 35,000 in chips.

Greco on a Great Big Stack

As the PokerNews team wandered by table 26, we noticed a huge stack worth 72,000 in chips.

Michael Greco is the man sitting behind them - the Englishman has accumulated more USD $880,000 in tournament winnings since 2005, including a USD $248,855 for finishing third in a WSOP $1,500 in 2009, as well as cashing in 170th place in the Main Event.

He's well on his way to earning a bit of moolah here today.

Lichtenberger Almost Licked

Andrew Lichtenberger and an opponent in late position were heads-up into a flop that read {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} when we caught the action.

Lichtenberger fired out a bet of 2,600 on the flop and the opponent called, then called Lichtenberger's bet of 5,500 on the turn of the {k-Clubs} and the bet of 6,000 on the river of the {10-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger turned up {a-Spades}{9-?} but was no good against the opponent's made flush with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger slips to 9,600 in chips.

Cabret Culled

Joe Cabret raised to 700 under the gun and the action folded around to Grant Levy who reraised to 1,900 from the button.

Gonzalo Duarte called from the small blind, the big blind got out of the way and Cabret called to go three ways into a flop of {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Cabret then moved all in for 4,700. Levy got out of the way and Duarte snap-called.

Duarte: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Cabret: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}

Needing any spade to double up, Cabret was sent to the rail after the turn and river ran out {3-Clubs}, {4-Hearts}.

Duarte is up to 32,000 in chips.

An Apple a Day Keeps Joe Hachem Away

Margets (during Main Event): no sugar thanks, just pass the fruit
Margets (during Main Event): no sugar thanks, just pass the fruit
It was heads-up between Joe Hachem and Leo Margets on a flop that read {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}; Margets led out for 2,700 and Hachem called before the dealer produced the turn of the {10-Clubs}.

Margets fired out a bet of 5,000 and in a homage to good health (and perhaps Phil Ivey) leaned back and casually took a bite out of her apple.

Hachem on the other hand didn't look so relaxed as he went deep into the tank.

Hachem looked up after four minutes at Margets and said, "I don't believe you."

"Then call," Margets replied. Hachem went back into the tank again before a player called time on him. Hachem let his hand go.

"I had jacks," said Margets.

"Jacks were good," muttered Hachem.

Margets is up to 22,600 while Hachem slips to 15,800.

Dunst Dominates

We caught the action on a board that read {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} between Tony Dunst and Aleks Brkovic.

Brkovic led out for 750 on the turn and Dunst called before the dealer turned up the river {4-Spades}; Brkovic fired out 1,900 and Dunst called again.

Brkovic rolled up {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} for air and Dunst tabled {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} which was good enough to take the pot down.

Dunst has now moved up to 50,000 in chips while Brkovic is on life support with 9,000 in chips.

Margets Charges

Leo Margets continues to move up the counts, now on 39,000 in chips after taking down a big pot against another opponent.

Margets led out for 1,100 on a flop that read {q-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} and the opponent called before the turn of the {q-Diamonds} was revealed.

Margets fired out 2,100, the opponent called and the {7-Hearts} came out on the river, where Margets led out for 4,000.

The opponent raised all-in and Margets called, showing down {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a full house. The opponent threw his hand away.

Brkovic Doubles Up

Alex Brkovic got the last of his money into the middle holding {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and was called down by an opponent who tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The dealer spread the board of {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Brkovic is back up to 15,200 in chips.

This Ain't Manila!

Ian Jennis moved all in from the button before the flop with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and found himself well ahead of his opponent's {j-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The board was spread {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} to give Jennis the full house, but it was Jennis that was walking off, thinking he had been eliminated by the flush!

"Dude, come back, you won the pot!" said another player. Jennis walked back, realised his mistake after taking a second look at the board, then sheepishly sat back down to stack up the 14,000 chips that had been pushed towards his seat.
