This Sukks

[user38449]

Billy Sukkar, cousin of Joe and Tony Hachem, is down to 7,700 in chips after a major confrontation with an unidentified player at his table.

We only caught the tail end of the hand, with the board showing {J-Diamonds}

. There was about 24,000 in the middle and Sukkar had checked to his opponent.

After a serious minute or two in the tank, Sukkar's opponent spoke up, "OK, I check," tabling a pocket pair of jacks for a full house.

Sukkar mucked, surrendering the hand, but with 77 big blinds, he's got plenty of ammo to work with.

Chris "Moorman1" Moorman in the House

[user92162]

The current world number three online player Chris "Moorman1" Moorman is in the field today.

Moorman who hails from England, has been as high as the top ranked online player in the world. The 23 year old has crushed the online game, winning the 2009 world points leaderboard, but he is yet to breakthrough in a big tournament live.

Still he has sponsorship as a member of the Doyle's Room Brunson Ten that will see him spend more time on the live circuit this year.

If he's going to breakthrough in the Aussie Millions Main Event he wil need to turn things back around after falling to 13,000 in the early stages.

Set Over Set Brings Early End For Carle

On our patrol of the room we noticed that Mitch Carle's seat was empty and we inquired with his table as to what happened.

We were told that Carle got his last chips in on a flop of {10-?}

holding pocket sevens. Unfortunately his opponent held pocket tens, and Carle was busted in a classic cooler.

Capra Chips Up Early

[user67765]

A player opened to 250 from the hijack position and Sam Capra made the call in the cutoff. The big blind came along and the three players took a flop of {K-Diamonds}

.

The big blind checked to the preflop aggressor who bet 500. Capra made the call as the big blind got out of the way.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}

and play checked to Capra who bet 1,100. His opponent made the call.

The river was an unknown brick as both players quickly checked it down. Capra tabled {K-Spades}

for top pair which was good as his opponent flashed a {Q-?}

and mucked.

After his 5th place finish in last year's Aussie Millions Main Event, Capra will be looking for a repeat performance as he starts off on a good note, chipping up to 24,200.

Dong-key Kong

[user38449]

Jonathan 'xMONSTERxDONGx' Karamalikis is back up to 24,000 in chips, due in part to an accidental raise made by one of his opponents in a recent hand:

An unknown player opened with a raise to 250 from under-the-gun and Karamalikis, next to act, kicked it up to 700. Action then folded around to a player in the cutoff who accidentally raised to 1,150, by tossing a chip of the wrong denomination into the middle. The original raiser folded, but Karamalikis stuck around to see the flop come {8-Hearts}

.

Karamalikis led the action on the flop, tossing a 1,200 bet into the middle. His opponent made the call sending the action to the turn -- {K-Diamonds}

-- where both players checked.

The river delivered another king (one of the club variety) and Karamalikis fired a 3,000 value bet holding {A-Hearts}

, good for trips. His opponent made the call and flashed {A-?}

before tossing his cards into the muck.

Air Jordan

[user38449]

Bill Jordanou is down to 8,400 in chips after making a call on the river during the following hand that left some of the players at his table shaking their heads:

A player in middle position opened with a raise to 325 from middle position. Another in the cutoff called, as did the small blind, before the action reached Jordanou in the big blind, who kicked it up to 1,700.

for nothing but ace-king high.
