Where My Ladies At?

Alexia Portal
Alexia Portal
It's time to check in with the women still holding it down. There is never much of a line for the ladies room at a poker tournament. If all of the remaining women flocked to the restroom together during this break, there would still only be 7 of them. That's less than 4% of the remaining players. But the good news for all you Spice Girls and/or girl power fans out there is that several of the remaining ladies have big stacks.

Here is where they stand:

Huo Jinfeng: >200,000
Lucille Cailly: 240,000
Catherine Hong: 155,000
Katja Thater: 145,000
Merine La Bernardie: 140,000
Alexia Portal: 120,000
Barbara Martinez: 14,000

Levi Stays Dry

Nicolas Levi and Joannn Lenne (apparently not a typo; Joannn really does have that many N's in it) got as far as the river of an {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} board, which Levi opted to check. Lenne bet 20,000 - but after a moment's thought Levi announced, "Tapis," (that's "all in" for you non-francophones out there) and slid his whole stack across the line.

Lenne briefly considered his options, and decided that folding was the best one. A quietly smiling Levi is now on 150,000.

Drawing a 'Blanc

Richard Leblanc was delighted to get his chips in holding {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} on a {3-Spades} {4-Spades} {2-Diamonds} flop against an opponent holding {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. However, the poker gods punish things like this, and the turn and river came down the {A-Spades} and {5-Clubs} respectively making both players a straight, and while Leblanc stays in he was denied his much-needed double up.

Tadini Making Some Noise

Anas Tadini showed up to the casino this morning to play one of the biggest stacks in the tournament, but he was getting dangerously short by the start of the day's fourth level.

After some preflop raising, he went heads up with Jad Khaddage to the {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} flop. Tadini pushed in his last 27,500, and eventually Khaddage called. Not exactly quietly, Tadini flipped his cards.

Showdown
Tadini: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}
Khaddage: {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs} turn and {6-Hearts} river brought no runner-runner miracles for Khaddage, and Tadini celebrated his good fortune. He earned some joking congratulations shouted from a nearby table by Dario Minieri, who doubled up Tadini yesterday. Tadini was over 100,000, but got right back to calling off chips the next hand.

It's Always Funner

Yep, they're all yours, Andras
Yep, they're all yours, Andras
Andras Nemeth opened the pot with an all-in shove from early position. Action came around to PokerStars qualifier Alexandre Nowak, and he asked for a count. When he learned the number -- 37,100 -- he announced an all in of his own. The table quickly folded out of the way, and the cards were turned up with Nemeth at risk and, he would soon find out, behind.

Nemeth: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Nowak: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}

The flop was a big dry desert for the at-risk player as it came out {2-Spades} {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn added a bit of drama to the situation, and sure enough, the {10-Diamonds} spiked the river to make Nemeth the winning Broadway straight.

It's always funner to go runner-runner, and Nemeth's most-recent suckout doubles him up over 75,000.
