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.

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.

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.

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.

Ivey: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to see Ivey eliminate his opponent while moving to 218,000 in chips.

Lew Picking Up More Chips

After a player in middle position raised to 5,700, Sorel Mizzi reraised from the button and made it 13,000. Randy Lew four-bet cold from the small blind to 29,500. The middle-position player folded and then Mizzi folded as well.

Charles Chua ain't got nothing more to say!
Charles Chua ain't got nothing more to say!

"Yes!" screamed Smith from the feature table thirty-one.

Quickly jumping up from the PokerNews blogging desk, we saw a {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} board spread with Smith's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} victorious.

One opponent that was holding {A-}{9-} quickly departed as the third player in the hand - Charles Chua - was holding {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} was also forced to depart.

Smith is now up to 310,000 in chips.

Chris Moorman was on the button and raised to 6,000 after action folded to him. Karib Karib reraised all in from the small blind for 22,700. Moorman made the call.

Moorman: {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Karib: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Karib doubled up. Moorman dropped back to 230,000.
