Martin Kozlov has joined the huge contingent of players who have hit the rail this evening. Kozlov's demise came when he was all in preflop holding and came up against the of an opponent.
Grant Levy has gained some much needed chips, with a recent hand seeing him pick up a few after three-bet shoving from the cutoff seat and take down a nice little pot.
We're not sure of the action, but we do know that Julian Powell was just eliminated by Ricky Kroesen. The former held on a board, but could not overcome the of Kroesen. It appears the money went in preflop, but whatever the case, Powell was eliminated while Kroesen chipped up to 60,000.
Action folded to Martin Drewe in the cutoff and he put in a raise to 2,400, which the player on the button called. The small blind got out of the way, and the big blind opted to move all in for 28,400 more. Drewe wasted little time in moving all in over the top, forcing the button out of the hand.
Showdown
Drewe:
Big Blind:
"No ten," the button said prior to the flop, indicating he had folded pocket tens. Much to his dismay, the flop came down . While it was a missed opportunity for the button, it was disaster for Drewe as his opponent had flopped a set. The turn left Drewe drawing dead as the was put out on the river for good measure.
Drewe was left with just 3,000 chips after the hands, which disappeared the very next hand. While the defending champ has been eliminated, all hope is not lost as he is still able to reenter in the following two flight.
Billy "The Croc" Argyros has just managed a double-up, and despite a few moments where he thought his tournament life was over, is now in good spirits.
Argyros had his tournament life on the line holding and was in good shape against the of his opponent. When the board ran out , Argyros, along with the rest of the table, assumed that the queen sent the hand to his opponent. A quick look at the board and everyone would realize that Argyros had hit the flush.
The last time we walked past Joel Dodds' table he had just lost a hand and was down to around 50,000. When we just walked past his table, he sat in front of over 100,000. We aren't mathematicians, but we have decided that it is highly likely that he has recently doubled.
