Vue Blasts, Theuma Folds

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Four players saw an {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and the big blind checked to Corel Theuma, who bet 4,000. The next two players folded but Xiong Vue, who had checked, came along for the {3-Spades}. That card prompted him to come out firing huge for 20,000 and Theuma called. On the {7-Hearts} river, Vue jammed the rest in right away.

Theuma got a count after a minute in the tank, and it was 23,800. After another minute or so, he tossed in his cards.

Ward Sinking

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

Three players went to a nondescript flop of {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Kevin Ward bet big with 5,000 into about 6,500 from the button. One player folded, but Randall Webb called in the cutoff. When the {4-Diamonds} put a four-liner on board, Webb came out betting with 12,000.

Ward folded in short order, and he's now well below the starting stack.

Meanwhile, the tournament has reached 18 entries, meaning it's split among three tables rather than two for the first time.

Matton Flops Big Draw

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

The cutoff opened for 900 and the player on the button called, as did big blind Joseph Matton. On the {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Spades} flop, Matton just jammed for about 10K, well over the pot.

Everyone folded and he showed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a monster draw.

Theuma Coolers One

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Corel Theuma bet 4,000, not too much less than the pot, from middle position. A player on the button called, as did the big blind. On the {7-Diamonds} turn, Theuma continued for 10,000 and only the player on the button called. Theuma bet 15,000 on the {2-Hearts} river and his opponent shoved for about 25K total.

Theuma snapped it and showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nuts. His opponent turned over {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} with a sigh.

Matton Dubs Through Brown

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Cards were on their backs in a pot between Jeremy Brown in late position and Joseph Matton in the big blind as the dealer spread a flop of {8-}{4-}{2-}.

Brown: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Matton: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Matton was still looking good with ace-high and that stayed true on the {7-} turn and {2-} river.
