Laak Runs Out
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Andrew Chen is up to 59,000 though...
Tilly Surivives....Somehow
She was all-in with
on a 
board against another player's 
and needing running 9's to survive. She did not hit them but instead the board came with running 
and 
to mean a chopped pot and the Hollywood actress staying in the tournament.
Gavin Griffin's Series of Unfortunate Events
Griffin was relieved of about half his stack in a multi-way pot that came
with two hearts. After leading out into the pot, Griffin flat-called a big raise behind him. When a third player came back over the top, Griffin was forced to cut his losses and duck out of the way.That left him down around 14,000, and Bari would snag that remainder a few hands later. After an early-position player raiser opened to 600, four players flatted in front of Bari's big blind. He looked down at two queens and made it 3,300 to play. That folded the monkeys in the middle, but Griffin shoved back with ace-king.
Bari's queens held up on a board full of rags, and that spells a quick end to the tournament for the Season 3 Grand Final champion.
Bold Move Goes Wrong for Greenstein
and the player in the big blind checking. Greenstein bet out a roughly pot-sized 11,000 and his opponent removed his sunglasses for tanking purposes.Eventually Greenstein's opponent called and flipped over
. Greenstein mucked and is down to 18,000 or so.
Monfils Missing in Action
Poker is still just a serious hobby for most of those Sport Stars; work comes first.
Wolfe Goes Hungry
board was checked down.The original raiser showed
and de Wolfe mucked.
MacPhee's Ladies
and Kevin MacPhee was faced with a 4,300 bet from his opponent into roughly an 8,000 chip pot. He thought for some time, stating, "I wanted to fold on the flop." He finally mucked two queens face up.
Vlasenko Recovery
board out and his opponent had checked to him. Vlasenko bet 5,000 and after a moment his opponent called, only to muck when Vlasenko turned over 
for a full house.Vlasenko is back up to just shy of his starting stack after that, on 28,000.
Wrong Day?
Dempsey however is doing ok, he just correctly folded to a 10,000 bet on the river of a
board and got shown . He also seems fairly happy that his table will be one of the first to break today.
