Huntly Treads Cautiously with Aces

Facing a 1,500 preflop raise holding pocket aces, Dennis Huntly repopped it to 3,000 and his opponent made the call.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and the action was checked to Huntly who fired a 3,000 continuation bet.

Both players checked when the {4-Clubs} fell on the turn, sending the action to the river -- {J-Clubs}. Another check from Huntly's opponent allowed him to fire a 5,000 bullet on the end. His opponent made the call and tabled the winning hand, {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, good for trips.

Huntly was left with 26,000 in chips after the hand.

Sachinidis Finds The Exit

After doubling, losing it back, and doubling some more, Jim Sachinidis finally has been bounced from the 2010 Aussie Millions. He got all in with pocket tens against an opponents pocket queens. As if Sachinidis wasn't in bad enough shape preflop, his opponent flopped a queen, and also rivered a queen.

Obrestad showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and her opponent held {j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

After the cutoff seat raised to 1,750, Andrew "luckychewy" Lichtenberger called on the button. Marsha Waggoner folded here big blind.

The flop came down {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and the cutoff checked. Lichtenberger checked behind.

The turn card added the {A-Clubs} to the board and the cutoff checked again. Lichtenberger fired 2,500 and his opponent called.

The river card completed the board with the {3-Diamonds} and the cutoff seat passed over to Lichtenberger one more time. Lichtenberger fired 6,000 and his opponent made the call.

Lichtenberger tabled {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for two pair, aces and threes with a queen kicker, and won the hand. He's now on 58,000 chips.

Obrestad Scores On Cascarino

We caught up with the action at Annette Obrestad's table on the river.

The board read {10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Obrestad fired off a bet of 4,600. Her opponent, former soccer player, Tony Cascarino tossed out four yellow chips (20,000) before trying to grab them back exclaiming, "Oh no, I meant to just call."

The chips had to stay and Annette made the call turning over pocket jacks for a boat against Cascarino's {A-?}{k-?}.

Sachinidis Holding On

Each time we check on Jim Sachinidis it seems as if he is all in for his tournament life. The first time, he flopped a set of aces to boost himself to 15,000. He apparently lost that and some back to the table, because we came back and he was all in again with aces, flopped a set again, but this time only doubled to 5,000. We were heading back to write when Jim Sachinidis was all in again, this time getting no callers. He flashed {a-Spades}{k-Spades} and is hovering around 6,000.

Glazier Blazing

Jackie Glazier has shot up to 70,000 in chips and seems to be the leading lady late in level six.

In a recent hand, Glazier opened with a raise to 1,600 from under-the-gun and received calls from players seated in the hijack and cutoff positions.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Glazier fired a 3,200 continuation bet, prompting both opponents to pass.

In a related story, Jackie's husband Jamie is also doing well, currently sitting with right around 78,000 in chips.

Rody Kaka Eliminated

Rody Kaka was spotted heading to the rail and he recounted the story of his elimination.

Kaka moved the last of his money into the middle preflop holding {10-Clubs}{10-?}, but was dominated by an opponent's {a-Clubs}{a-?}.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, giving Kaka an up-and-down straight flush draw, but the turn and river bricked out {2-?},{5-?} with no club, sending Kaka out the door.

Van Marcus Showing Off the Big Draw

Van Marcus and three other saw a flop in a limped pot. The flop came down {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {4-Spades}. The two blinds were in the hand and they checked to Marcus in middle position. He fired 1,500. The player in the hijack seat folded. The small blind went into the tank. He tanked for about two minutes, which got Marcus laughing. Eventually, he folded and the big blind followed suit.

Marcus revealed his {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw.

"I wish you went all in," said Marcus. He's now on 80,000 chips.
