Slow Moving

Not only is the action extremely slow here at the Crown Poker room, but Elliot Smith has now taken things to a new level, tanking on almost every hand. Most of the hands he is battling Dani Stern, and Stern has twice called the clock on him. That's not all though, one of the other opponents has also called time on Smith. Who knows, maybe Smith is just falling asleep under his sunglasses and hoody...

Dwan and Amit Run It Four Times in the Cash Game

Million Dollar Cash Game

On a flop of {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Rafi Amit got into a raising war before eventually getting all the money in. Both of them bought into the $300-600 heads-up pot-limit Omaha game with $100,000 and were essentially in for that much on this flop.

Amit: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Dwan: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Dwan held top two pair and a straight draw. Amit held a straight draw as well, a flush draw and a pair of jacks. The two agreed to run the turn and river four different times. Here's the result.

1) {2-Hearts} {6-Spades}
2) {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}
3) {3-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}
4) {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

Dwan won the first and second with his two pair holding up. On the third and fourth, Amit made his flush both times. The two chopped up the pot and went onto the next hand.

In other news, just a few feet away from the feature table where the two are playing, Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies has just entered the room and is checking out the action. Maybe he'll get in on the game.

Ship the Coffee

Dennis Huntly and Florian Langmann just played out a hand in which the chips in the pot weren't the only thing at stake.

Huntly had just ordered a coffee from the wait staff and had it delivered to the table. Seeing this, Langmann presented Huntly with an idea; win the hand and win the coffee. Huntly agreed to play along, as the two battled it out in the following hand:

Langmann opened with a raise to 1,500 from the button and Huntly called from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Huntly checked to Langmann who fired a 2,100 bet. Huntly made the call.

Both players checked when the {4-Clubs} fell on the turn, sending the action to the river -- {6-Clubs}. On 5th Street, Huntly attempted to take down the pot with a 3,500 bet, but Langmann came over the top with a raise to 11,000, prompting Huntly to surrender the hand -- and his coffee -- to Langmann.

Huntly showed the {5-Spades} before sending his cards into the muck pile. Langmann played along and flashed one of his own -- the {10-Clubs}.

After the hand, Langmann improved to 48,000 in chips while Huntly dropped to 34,000.

Action Jackson

In a recent hand on table 10, an opponent limped in from early position, only to see Jeff Lisandro raise to 1,500. The player in the small blind called, as did Gary Benson from the big blind to go four-handed into a flop that read {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

The small blind and Benson checked to the early position player who bet 2,500. Lisandro called and the blinds folded before the dealer rolled up the turn of the {6-Diamonds}.

The opponent then fired out 5,500 and Lisandro called before both players checked down the river {10-Diamonds}.

The opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and it was good enough to take the pot down. Lisandro is down to 38,000 while Benson slips to 29,500 in chips.

Bent Out of Shape

We recently received word (from the man himself) that Aaron Benton was eliminated from the main event by Mario Dorio.

As retold by Benton, he opened the pot with a raise to 1,600 from under the gun and Dorio three-bet to 4,000. Benton made the call and the two went heads-up to a {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop.

Benton then led out with a 6,000 bet and his opponent moved all in, putting Benton to a decision for all of his chips. Benton made the call holding ace-king, but his opponent had woken up with aces to send the APPT Sydney Main Event winner home early.

Sachinidis in Strife

We caught the action on a flop that read {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Spades} between Nick Georgoulas, Jim Sachinidis and another opponent in late position.

Georgoulas and Sachinidis checked to the late position player who led out for 1,500. Georgoulas and Sachinidis called and the dealer produced the turn of the {k-Clubs}.

The action checked to the late position player again who fired out 2,000. Georgoulas folded, Sachinidis called and it was heads-up to the river of the {q-Diamonds}.

Sachinidis check-called the opponent's bet of 3,000, only to muck when the player tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a full house.

"How lucky can you get?" Sachinidis cried. As a result of that hand, Sachinidis is down to 7,800.

Cash Game Update

Million Dollar Cash Game

We're still waiting for the cash game to get started up. Tom Dwan, David Eldar and Andrew Feldman are hanging out at the table and Rafi Amit just came over to drop his chips off to the left of Dwan saying, "Oh, I have position!" While they wait, Dwan and Feldman are playing Chinese poker.

Rumor has it that Dan Shak is playing and Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen should be down as well. We'll keep you posted.

Dani Denied... This Time

We caught up Dani Stern who was deep in thought on a {5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Spades} board with about 20,000 in the pot. The {7-Spades} on the river completed created a four board flush, and Stern who was in the big blind checked to his opponent, who was sitting in the hijack. His opponent than bet 7,000 and after about a minute of thought Stern mucked, sand said "nice bluff."
