Mizzi Picks Off Bluff

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Michael Egan opened to 5,500 from under the gun and was called by Sorel Mizzi and a third player to see a {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop fall.

Egan fired out a continuation-bet of 10,700 which only MIzzi called as the {7-Diamonds} was checked on through on the turn.

When the river landed the {6-Clubs}, Egan fired a delayed second barrel to 24,000 with Mizzi making the call.

Egan tabled his {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for air as Mizzi's {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} would see him collect the pot to move to 285,000 while Egan slipped to 65,000 in chips.

Lee Nelson
Lee Nelson

Lee Nelson shipped his short-stack holding {A-}{10-} and [Removed:248] picked him off holding {A-}{A-}.

The 2006 Champion was unable to strike gold across the five community cards and was soon sentenced to the rail as Freymann closed in on 400,000.

Griffin's Wings Clipped

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Gavin Griffin
Gavin Griffin

Randy Dorfman opened to 5,000 before Gavin Griffin shipped his last 40,100 next to speak. Dorfman made the call to put the first live Triple Crown winner at risk.

Griffin: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Dorfman: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop kept Dorfman in the lead, and when the {6-Diamonds} landed on the turn, he still had a firm grip on the hand.

With Griffin needing to spike one of his six outs, the {J-Hearts} wouldn't be one as he was forced to make his way to the rail. Dorfman has now pushed his lead out to 535,000 in chips.

Solomon Crashes to Rail

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jarred Solomon
Jarred Solomon

Facing a raise to 7,000, Jarred Solomon bumped it from the small blind to 20,300.

His opponent responded by moving all in for close to 90,000 as Solomon made the call for his last 80,000.

Solomon: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

In a great shape to double, Solomon would cringe when the flop landed {10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Spades} to put his opponent in the lead and flip Solomon onto the side of needing to spike his two-outer to take the lead.

Unfortunately for the Event 2 winner, the {7-Hearts} on the turn, followed by the {9-Clubs} on the river would end his tournament just a few tables before the money.

Marcus In Need of a Double

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Van Marcus has "been folding for hours". He's nursing the severe short stack and just recently shoved all in from early position for 14,800, or just over six big blinds. No one could find a hand to call him with and Marcus scooped some much needed chips.

Marcus Finds that Double

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
"Get in the van!"
"Get in the van!"

Kristian Lunardi raised to 5,100 from the cutoff seat and Van Marcus moved all in from the big blind for 21,200. Lunardi called.

Lunardi: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Marcus: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and gave Lunardi a gutshot to go with his two overcards. Marcus knew he needed to dodge a lot of cards on the turn or river and stood from his chair in anticipation.

The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and kept Marcus in the lead. "Pair the board!" he yelled awaiting the river.

The dealer did just that, landing the {8-Clubs} on the river to pair the board and finish off the hand with Marcus in the lead. With a clap of his hands he sat back into his seat and gathered up his chips. He's back to 46,800 now and has some much needed breathing room.

Sigshee Climbing

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Shane Sigshee opened with a raise preflop and found a call from Michael Ryan before an opponent in the blinds shipped it for 35,200.

Sigshee deliberated for a few moments before making the call as Ryan passed.

Sigshee: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts} to see Sigsbee eliminate his opponent and move to 205,000 in chips.
