Karamalikis Back

Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis has worked his way back from the brink. After being down to 8,000 in chips, he doubled back through.

Sitting with 22,000 in chips a short time later, he then picked up a good pot against George Cotaidis.

Preflop, a player in early position opened to 500 with Karamalikis making it 1,500 to go. Three players including Cotaidis made the call.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and two players checked to Karamalikis who made it 5,000. Two of the players opted to fold, but Cotaidis decided to stay on.

Both players checked the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {5-Diamonds} hit the river with Cotaidis checking again. Karamalikis considered his betting options before firing out 8,000. Cotadis let his time virtually run out before folding.

Cotiadis moved down to 34,900, while Karamalikis moved up to 32,200.

A full round of chip counts have been updated on the chip counts page.

Dropping Like Flies!

We're losing players at a brutal pace now.

A short-stacked Matthew Pearson shoved at the wrong time, pushing {Q-?}{j-?} into the {A-?}{j-?} of an opponent. He didn't catch up and hit the rail.

Josh Budin went out after an opponent made a rather aggressive move over the top. Budin made the right call with {Q-?}{q-?} and looked good against the {K-?}{j-?} of his foe. All was clear through the {6-?}{6-?}{6-?} flop and turn {8-?}. But he was betrayed by the river {k-?} to be eliminated.

Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis joined the land of the busto, after an interesting flop battle.

On the {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop Chris Brammer lead 3,000 and Karamalikis came back over the top for 7,000. Brammer shoved covering Karamalikis and the Monsterdong made a quick call.

Karamalikis: {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Brammer: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {k-Diamonds} turn and {a-Hearts} river were not cards that Karamlikis needed to stay alive, so he was banished to the rail.

Brammer is currently leading the field on 140,000 chips.

The Old Guard Strikes Back

Danny Mountt and Andrew Demetriou have both doubled their stacks recently.

Demetriou reshoved over the top of an opponent's short stacked all in move, and then was called for all of his chips by Suzy Khouiss.

Shortstack: {A-?}{7-?}
Demetriou: {Q-?}{Q-?}
Khouiss: {J-?}{j-?}

The board blanked out to pay Demetriou and eliminate the other player. Demetriou is up to 61,900.

Danny Mountt had gone into the tank facing a call for all of his with a flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. In the end he said, "Alright time to go home", before making the call with {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

He wouldn't be going home though, his opponent had {9-Spades}{10-Spades} and would be drawing to a double gutshot. It didn't arrive with the {Q-Diamonds} turn and {k-Diamonds} river sending 45,000 worth of chips to Mountt.
