Feldman Picks Off River Bluff

With the board reading {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Peter Feldman fired out a 25,000 chip bet into the middle, but found himself check-raised to 75,000 by one of the chip leaders in Dale Townsend. Feldman made a courageous call for a large portion of his chips, as Townsend cringed as showed {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a bluff. Feldman flipped {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for the straight to take down a nice pot!

Raymond Rahme raised to 16,000 from the button. Max Pescatori went into the tank. He eventually announced that he was "All in."

It was Rahme's turn to head into the tank. He deliberated a call for four minutes. He finally called and had Pescatori's 135,000 covered. Pescatori tabled {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Rahme sighed as he flipped over {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.

The flop was {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river was the {K-Diamonds}. Pescatori won the pot with quad Kings and doubled up. Pescatori increased his stack to 270,000 while rahme slipped to 215,000

Peter Mobbs made it 9,000 to go from the button. Max Pescatori call from the small blind and Garry Chappell called off the rest of his chips (4,000) from the big.

Pescatori and Mobbs checked to the river, as the board filled out {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. On fifth street, Pescatori fired a 3,000 value bet and Mobbs laid down his hand.

Pescatori tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for top pair and Chappell, who hadn't looked at his cards until the showdown, tabled {6-Spades}{2-Clubs} for nothing but six-high and was eliminated from the tournament.

James Honeybone Eliminated

Con Angelakis raised to 11,000, James Honeybone moved all in for 72,000 from the cutoff and Angelakis quickly called.

Honeybone {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Angelakis {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

"That'll teach you! Come on, hold!" shouted Honeybone.

Much to his dismay, the flop came down {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, making Angelakis' set. The turn was the {2-Spades}, pairing the board and giving him a full house. Honeybone would need one of the two remaining jacks to suvive... but the river was the {6-Hearts} and he headed to the rail.

After the hand, Angelakis was up to 340,000.
