Aguiar Adds To Stack

Martin Jacobson raised to 800 and Jonathan Aguiar reraised quickly to 2,000, Jacobson called and both checked the {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn. On the {7-Clubs} river Jacobson bet 4,000 and Aguiar quickly called. Jacobson flipped {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} but was pipped by Aguiar's {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

Corks for Kastle

We really don't know how we missed him earlier, but only just spotted: Casey Kastle, wearing an eye-achingly bright yellow t-shirt and one of those ridiculous Australian hats with the corks hanging off the brim.

He's on 45,000.

Kein-er Chips

Michael Keiner has been knocked out after getting all in with {A-?} {A-?} on a {J-?} {Q-?} {5-?} {9-?} board but ran into {9-?} {9-?}. A blank river eliminated the German.

Horecki Drops Down

Marcin ever onwards
Marcin ever onwards
Marcin Horecki's stack is heading proverbially south -- he's now down to around 19,000.

Most recently he raised under the gun and called a reraise from the gent immediately to his left to see a {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop. Horecki didn't look happy at all and checked; his opponent bet 3,500 and Horecki gave it up there.

Lodden Wins a Monster in Dream Scenario

There now sits a massive stack in front of Mr. Lodden
There now sits a massive stack in front of Mr. Lodden
Brace yourselves because there was plenty of action on this hand.

It was Johnny Lodden's big blind when the player under the gun raised to 1,100. The next player reraised to 3,000. Action then folded around to the player on the button who moved all in for 7,375. The small blind ducked out of the way before Lodden went into the tank. After a minute or so of thought, Lodden put in another raise to 13,000. The original raiser folded before the next player that had made 3,000 made the call. There would be three players to the flop, with one player all in.

The flop came down {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Lodden checked. The other remaining player checked as well.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and there would be no free cards this time decided Mr. Lodden. He bet out 12,500 and the other player called.

With the pot growing massive, the river was placed on the felt -- the {6-Diamonds}. Lodden slowly counted out all of his chips and then announced that he was all in. His opponent made the call. Lodden tabled {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and his opponent showed two queens -- {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} -- to give Lodden the side pot first.

The all-in player from the button position showed {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, which meant that Lodden would take down the main pot as well. With that enormous pot and spectacular hand, Lodden has climbed over the 90,000-chip mark.

Deeb Grows

Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb may not be one of the most intimidating people in the room, but now he is yielding a very intimidating stack after picking up two hefty pots in back-to-back action.

First, the flop was {K-Spades} {J-Spades} {7-Hearts} when a player from the small blind bet out 2,650. Deeb was next to act and raised to 18,000 straight. The third player that saw the flop from the button folded, sending the small blind into the tank for a few minutes. He knew that Freddy's raise committed nearly all of his chips to the hand so the decision was an important one. Finally, the player ended up sticking the chips into the middle. It was only a couple thousand more for Deeb to make the call and he instantly did so, tabling {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. The small blind held two red aces -- {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts}, adding a few straight outs for the player in the small blind, but he fell short when the river was the {8-Spades}. Deeb gathered in the pot, but even before stacking all of his chips, he got involved again.

After raising preflop and finding one caller, Deeb led out into the flop of {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. His opponent made the call. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and Deeb fired 2,300 on the second-to-last street of action. His opponent took some time, but then mucked his hand.

Deeb added those chips to the unstacked pile already in front of him and began building his towers. When it was all said and done, Deeb was held slightly over 62,000 chips.
