Jimmy Siu adds to his stack!

[user22113]

2nd UTG raises to 900 and Jimmy on the button reraises to 6500, leaving himself with 1625. He stands up and puts his jacket on, looking very smart in his cream suit today, and after the initial raiser counts his chips, he lays down allowing Jimmy to pick up just over 1500 in chips.

Jason Gray knocked out!

[user22113]

Jason Gray UTG short-stacked pushes all-in. A player on the button re-raises to isolate him and the blinds fold. Jason turns over {7-Spades}

and the button shows {8-Diamonds}

. The flop comes down {A-Hearts}

and Jason has only got 2 outs to stay alive. The turn is an {8-Clubs}

leaves Jason drawing dead. A meaningless {J-Diamonds}

on the river is dealt and it's all over for Jason who earlier was involved in an all-action table with Mark Vos and Tony G during the rebuy period of the tournament.

Gary Benson loses a small pot!

[user22113]

Mark Vos is 3rd UTG and makes it 600 to go. A player on his left calls, Gary Benson in the SB calls and the BB pushes all-in for an extra 225. All 3 players call. Gary checks in the dark as the flop comes down {5-Spades}

. Vos and the other player check and the turn is a {J-Clubs}

. Again it is checked round and we see the river which is an {8-Hearts}

. Gary leads out and bets 1000, the other 2 players fold and Gary shows pocket Js for a set. The BB turns over {K-Diamonds}

and has a miracle straight to quadruple up!

Mike Comer takes one out!

[user22113]

Mike Comer in early position is involved in a pot with an all-in player and one other player who has position on him. Flop comes down 4-5-6 and Mike bets into an empty side-pot. The other player folds and the all-in player turns over AQo. Mike shows pocket 7s. The turn is a Q and the all-in player pumps his fist, shouts "YES!" and Mike is left shaking his head. But an 8 on the river gives Mike an 8-high straight and ends the other player's run in today's tournament. Mike then comments, "It's about time!".
