Jason Gray Flops Nuts On Jarred Graham

[user92162]
[user92162]
Jarred Graham has gone out after he ran into Jason Gray's flopped quads.

We arrived on the scene with Gray raking in a huge pot to move over 400,000 in chips.

He had taken {4-?}{4-?} to a {4-?}{4-?}{10-?} flop and well short of a miracle Graham wasn't going to beat that out.

He's far and away chip leader at the moment, but will likely be pegged back as action heats up.

Duvall Eliminated

Jeff Duval got his money into the middle shortly after the bubble burst with {10-Spades}{7-Spades}, only to run into Julius Colman's {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Duval is one of the first to collect from the cage!

Let the Elimination Rush Begin

With the bubble burst players tend to bust out a little more carefree.

As was the example with James Keys recently.

Keys got a mountain of chips in preflop with {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and ran right into Jonathan 'xMONSTERxDONGx' Karamalikis' {A-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} to send Keys on his way. It's the second time that Karamalikis has shipped a big pot preflop with Ace-King in this tournament.

He now has 298,000 in chips to be second in the counts.

Standby for what should be a burst of bust-outs as we work down to the shootout phase of this tournament.

Field Bubbles, We're in the Money!

Josh Field has unfortunately become the bubble boy tonight (or this morning depending on where you are).

Field shipped it in with {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} from the short-stack showing no fear for the bubble. It cost him. Tristan Bain had {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} waiting for him and made the call.

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to send Field home empty handed. Our remaining players are all in the money.

Lancaster Cast Away

All the money was in the middle preflop and we got there as the cards were being tabled between Brian Payne and Richard Lancaster:

Payne: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Lancaster: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board was spread {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}; Lancaster was sent to the rail and Payne is now sitting on a stack of 140,000 in chips.

Kingston Doesn't Have Nine Lives

Anthony Kingston dodged death when shipping with {7-Hearts}{8-Spades} against Jeff Duvall's {A-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Kingston flopped nicely on the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, but the {6-Spades} turn left him on the brink of elimination. The river {5-Hearts} brought salvation putting a straight on the board and chopping the pot.

A few hands later he looked set to double up with {Q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

The {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop put him back on the edge of elimination, and this time there would be no escape with the {6-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river ending his run.
