Dodds Dead

Joel Dodds' tournament has just come to an and in a brutal way, with his {a-}{k-} not good enough for the {a-}{q-} of Martin Comer. The two players got it in preflop and the queen-high flop sent Dodds to the rail.

Manny's Time

Manny Stavropoulos opened for 16,800 under the gun and was soon met with an all-in three-bet to 78,800 by the player on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Stavropoulos wasted little time in making the call.

Showdown
Stavropoulos: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Button: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

"My turn," Stavropoulos pleaded. It seems in this tournament all you have to do is ask, as the {a-Clubs} appeared in the window, followed by the {J-Spades} and {4-Diamonds}. The {9-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts} filled out the board and Stavropoulos sent his opponent to the rail while chipping up to 375K.

Glazier Dodges a Spade to More Than Double

With around 50,000 in the middle and a flop of {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Spades}, Naz Sibaei checked from the small blind and was followed by Jackie Glazier in the big. With action on [Removed:551] in middle position, he bet 19,000, which Sibaei called. Glazier then woke up with an all-in check-raise to a little over 100K.

[Removed:552] thought for a few moments before moving all in himself, approximately 200,000, and Sibaei got out of the way.

Showdown
Glazier: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
[Removed:552]: {K-Spades}{3-Spades}

Glazier was ahead but needed to dodge a spade, which is exactly what she did when the {10-Diamonds} appeared on the turn followed by the {7-Hearts} river. [Removed:552] lost about half his stack on the hand while Glazier more than doubled.

Trips for McLean

Action folded to a player on the button and he moved all in for 100,000. Luke McLean then reshoved from the small blind, driving the big blind out, and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Button: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
McLean: {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

McLean was ahead and solidified his lead on the {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop. The {9-Hearts} gave the button a gut-shot straight draw, but the {K-Spades} was no help. McLean tripped up to take down the pot and send his opponent to the payout desk.

Feldman Fails

Joel Feldman has just been seen leaving the tournament area, with his demise coming when he re-shoved holding {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. The player who originally shoved held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and by the time the board had run out {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}, it was all over for Feldman.

The River Voegele

The action started when Voegele open shoved holding {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Unfortunately for Voegele he ran into the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} of an opponent. Fortunately for Voegele luck would be on his side as the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, the rivered straight giving him the goods.

Rubie Sends Smith to the Rail

Geoff Smith was under the gun and moved all in for his last 39,000. Action folded all the way around to Brendon Rubie in the small blind and he made the call.

Showdown
Smith: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Rubie: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

It was a classic race and an interesting flop, which came {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Rubie had flopped a set but Smith held an open-ended straight draw. The {4-Clubs} turn was a good card for Rubie as it kept him in the lead, while the {A-Spades} locked up the win. Smith hit the rail in Level 16 while Rubie chipped up to 400K.

Lindeblad Triples

Action folded around to Luke McLean in the cutoff and he put in a raise. The button folded while the player in the small blind shipped his entire stack. Lindeblad was extremely short and had half his chips in from the big blind, so he made the call. McLean thought long and hard before making the call and putting both his opponents at risk.

Showdown
McLean: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Lindeblad: {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Small Blind: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

"Come on, one time for daddy," Lindeblad requested. Once again, asked an ye shall receive as the flop came down {Q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. While Lindeblad was primed to triple, there was still a sizable side pot on the line. The {9-Spades} was of no consequence, but the {2-Clubs} hit the river to keep the small blind alive with the side pot and deliver a blow to McLean.
