Lewis vs. Collopy for a Monster Pot

We just stumbled upon a monster pot that resulted in the elimination of Toby Lewis. We imagine the money went in on the flop, but what we discovered was Lewis with {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} laid out in front of him while Collopy held {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. The board read {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Spades}, and it's no wonder the pot was so huge.

The dealer counted down the stacks and Collopy had the bigger stack. Lewis was eliminated on the hand while Collopy closed in on 50K.

Kelly and Kelly

The news is not so good for the Kelly Family. We have just lost JP Kelly out of nowhere and Dan Kelly is also bleeding chips. The young American bracelet winner still has a healthy stack with 13,000 chips but he was up to 17,000 before.

In a pre flop all-in Kelly showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} against the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} of his opponent who had only 4,025 chips left behind. The board ran out {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} giving his opponent the double up.

Big Flip Sends Dorfman Packing

We just saw a huge stack in front of British player Ashley Mason and asked him what happened to Randy Dorfman. Dorfman was one of the biggest stacks in the room but Mason just took it all away. Mason raised to 450 after which Dorfman three-bet to 1,225. The action came back to Mason who made it 5,000 and Dorfman decided to shove. Mason called creating a huge coin flip.

Randy Dorfman{A-Spades}{K-}
Ashley Mason{Q-}{Q-}

The board ran out {A-}{Q-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and with that we have a new chip leader.

Dorfman Lets It Go

Action folded to Randy Dorfman in the cutoff and he raised to 450, which the player in the small blind three-bet to 1,325. Dorfman thought for a few moments before four-betting the minimum to 2,200, which the small blind called.

After the {3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts} was put out on the flop, the small blind check-called a bet of 2,225, leading to the {6-Hearts} turn. This time the small blind decided to lead out with a bet of 4,600, which cause Dorfman to hit the tank. After a couple of minutes, the latter released his hand, preserving his stack of around 20,000.
