Gibson Played Well

Nick Gibson,who was earlier telling us that all he wanted in the world was to make the final 24, has gone home disappointed.

He got his dwindling stack in with {A-Diamonds}

but was up against Eric Haik's {A-Hearts}

and the

board did absolutely nothing for him.

was good on the {9-?}

. Whatever his opponent Kevin Macphee was holding, it couldn't beat top two and he sinks to 420,000.

Gudvangen hanging in there on 300,000.

Greco Chops Pot And Still Almost Doubles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Michael Greco moves all-in for 64,000 from mid-position, it's passed around to Andrew Lichtenberger who makes it 125,000 from the small blind to isolate.

Lichtenberger: {A-Hearts}

Greco:

The board comes {2-Diamonds}

and they split the blinds and antes - which probably means more to Greco than Lichtenberger.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 40,000, and Darren Woods in the hijack made it 130,000 to go with around 170,000 behind. Between Theo Tran on the cutoff and Lichtenberger, at least five good minutes we won't see again were swallowed up with dwelling, but eventually Tran folded, Lichtenberger put Woods in, Woods called, and they were on their backs.

Lichtenberger: {J-Hearts}

Woods:

Board:

Woods is out in 31st place.
