The Swings Champ

Bryan Ruiter started the day, just like everyone else, with 30,000 chips but he's been having some crazy swings. Early on the Dutch pro got up to 52,000 but he dropped all the way down to just 3,500 after losing kings to aces and running a failed bluff.

Ruiter seemed to be almost out the building, but he got a crazy comeback going. First he won the blinds and antes with a shove after which he doubled with {K-}{Q-} versus {Q-}{J-} and was back up to 10,000. Then he raised under the gun +1 with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and got called by the big blind. The flop came down {J-}{5-}{4-} rainbow and his 700 continuation bet got called. The turn was a {9-} and Ruiter misclicked by betting 5,800 instead of 1,800. His opponent shoved and Ruiter called, but he wasn't happy. Amazingly enough his opponent showed {J-}{3-} after Ruiter had called and he was up to 27,000.

A couple of hands later he got it in with jacks against ace-king and managed to hold giving him 50,000 chips. Ruiter kept chipping up and just got back from dinner with a nice 72,000 chip stack. One more reason to never give up in a poker tournament, there is always a come back just around the corner!

Trickett Back Near Starting Stack

After one player checked the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop, Mark Teltscher bet 2,000. Action then fell on Sam Trickett and he tanked for a bit. While he was tanking, the first player tossed in the call before it was his turn. Trickett then raised to 5,500 and the player was allowed to take back his 2,000 and fold. Teltscher then tanked for a little while, but eventually mucked his hand and Trickett won the pot.

Nacho Struggling

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Nacho Barbero just lost a serious pot knocking him down to 15,800. There was a under the gun raise to 800, Nacho called from middle position and the big blind called. The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Nacho called the 1,450 continuation bet. The turn was the {A-Diamonds} and now he had to call 3,100 in order to see the river.

On the river the {10-Diamonds} hit and after some deliberation his opponent bet 7,200. Nacho pondered for a while, but eventually he gave up the hand. Nacho lost half his stack today but still has plenty of room to move.

Queens for Wong

On the {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} board, Melanie Weisner checked and the next player bet 3,600. Brandon Wong made the call and then Weisner tank-called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and all three players checked. Weisner mucked after she saw the next player show the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Wong table the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Wong's queens won the pot and he moved to 76,000 in chips.
