Comer Collects

Martin Comer has found a double up to keep himself alive in today's Limit Holdem tournament.

After calling a bet on a {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, Comer showed his strength with a check-raise all in on the {10-Clubs} turn. His opponent made the call with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} but Comer held {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for a full house.

The river was the {7-Spades} and Comer gets himself back to 3,700.

Kemp Gets Past Big Slick

Yann Pauchon raised it up from middle position with Jai Kemp the only caller in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Kemp check-called the bet from Pauchon. The turn was the {2-Spades} and again Kemp check, Pauchon bet and Kemp made the call.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and this time Kemp led out with a bet for 300. Pauchon threw his head back in disgust and open-mucked {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} for a monster that couldn't connect with the board. Kemp takes it down to chip up to 6,000 chips.

Pickering Gorr'd

Catching the action on a flop of {3-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}, David Gorr led out with a bet before Jamie Pickering put in a raise. Gorr made the call and the {J-Hearts} repeated on the turn.

Gorr checked to Pickering who moved his last chips into the middle and Gorr made the call.

Pickering: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Gorr: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Pickering held the overpair but Gorr had taken the lead with trip jacks on the turn. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Pickering bites the dust as Gorr chips up to just over 5,000 chips.

Boatman Busts Billy

A short-stacked Billy Seri committed his last chips in preflop from the small blind in a raising war against Barny Boatman on the button.

Seri tabled {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} but was dominated by Boatman's {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The board fell {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} to pair Boatman's jack and eliminate Seri from the tournament. Boatman is now our chip leader with 11,000 chips.

Mel Survives

Mel Judah was down to his last 450 chips, but a couple of double ups have gone his way and he once again has a pulse in this tournament.

The first double up arrived when his {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flopped trips against an opponent's pocket sevens, before then spiking an ace on the river holding {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} against {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} on a board of {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

Judah is back to 1,900 chips.
