Oh Dear, O'Dea!

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Eoghan O'Dea
Eoghan O'Dea

After a player had opened for 6,000 from the hijack, former World Series of Poker November Niner Eoghan O'Dea moved all in from the cutoff for 50,000. Action then folded to Steve Goodridge in the big blind, he called, and the original raiser got out of the way.

O'Dea: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}
Goodridge: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

It was a bad spot for the Irishman, and the {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop was about as dry as can be. O'Dea stood in preparation for his exit, but he paused when the {J-Diamonds} turned, meaning he could still win with either a jack or queen on the river. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {A-Hearts}. It wasn't what O'Dea needed and he made a beeline out the door without looking back.

Kid's Got Alligator Blood

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Tyron Krost doubles
Tyron Krost doubles

Tyron Krost, who's been on a short stack for the majority of the day, has managed to double once again.

Krost opened to 6,500 from early position, Jan Suchanek three-bet to 14,000 from the hijack seat, and Mark Betts cold-called out of the small blind. Krost moved all in for 60,000, Suchanek re-shoved for over 200,000, and Betts folded.

Krost: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Suchanek: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Krost flopped a set when the dealer fanned {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and held when the turn and river came {7-Spades}, {9-Spades} respectively. He doubled to 135,000 chips, while Suchanek slipped to 190,000.

Ramakrishnan Sends Lim Packing

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

From under the gun, Aaron Lim opened with a raise to 6,000. Rajkumar Ramakrishnan made the call from the hijack seat, and Patrik Antonius called from the big blind. From there, the dealer ran out the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop, and action checked over to Ramakrishnan. He bet 25,500, and Antonius folded.

Lim didn't go away so easily, though, and he check-raised all in for 118,000. Ramakrishnan took his time — about a minute and a half — then called. Lim then turned up his {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, but was surprised to see that he was behind the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for Ramakrishnan.

Lim mumbled a little something under his breath about the call being a slowroll as the dealer ran out the {7-Clubs} on the turn and the {4-Hearts} on the river. Lim finished second best to Ramakrishnan, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Carlton Busts Chang in Big Pot

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Back in December, Tony Chang took third in the World Poker Tour Prague €3,500 Main Event for €106,260. Chang traveled south of the equator to take a shot at the Southern Hemisphere's most prestigious title, but it didn't quite pan out as he was just eliminated by Adam Carlton.

We didn't catch the action until the end with 100,000 already in the pot and a board reading {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Chang, who had apparently check-called bets on the flop and turn, had opted to ship all in for 86,500 and put the screws to Carlton. The latter player thought for a spell before spiking in a call, and Chang confidently turned over {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Carlton then rolled over {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and said, "Yes."

Chang collected his things and made a quick exit from the tournament floor while Carlton, who clearly received a shot of adrenaline from the hand, stacked the pot.

Benson Ends Silver's Run

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Nate Silver
Nate Silver

The most famous non professional poker player left in the event has just been knocked out. Nate Silver, who was on the PokerNews Podcast earlier this week, fell to Gary Benson when he ran pocket kings into aces. Silver, who started the hand with around 120,000 chips, ended up all in preflop and couldn't catch up with the Aussie.

For all you Silver fans out there you can still listen to the podcast we recorded with him right here.
