Veldhuis Slips Some

Lex Veldhuis
Lex Veldhuis

From middle position, Team PokerStars pro Lex Veldhuis raised to 700. Timofey Vekshin called from the big blind and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Vekshin checked and Veldhuis bet 1,100. Vekshin called.

The {3-Hearts} paired the board on fourth street and both players checked their option to see the {7-Diamonds} land on the river. Vekshin led out for 2,000 and Veldhuis followed with a quick fold to drop back under 40,000 in chips.

Boeree Sticks It In

In early position, Max Silver opened with a raise to 725, and there was a flat-call from a couple seats over. On the button, Liv Boeree snuck in a reraise to 2,025, but small blind Mark Pukhov made a cold four-bet to 5,000 straight. Not to be out-done, Silver raised it right back up to 9,300, and that folded the monkey in the middle. After some thought, Boeree shoved all in for 37,500, folding Pukhov and sending the decision back to Silver. He, too, would spend a few minutes thinking it over, but he eventually surrendered his {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} face-up on the felt.

With her shove, Boeree has worked her stack up over 50,000.

Wigg Busts Pavel

From under the gun, Praz Bansi raised to 700. Melanie Weisner flat-called from middle position and Anton Wigg also called from the hijack seat. Action then folded to Ion Pavel in the big blind and he reraised all in for around 7,000 or so. Bansi and Weisner folded, but Wigg made the call.

Wigg: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Pavel: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Wigg's nines held up to bust Pavel from the tournament.

Hurta Takes a Hurting

Miroslav Hurta raised to 500 from middle position and Laurent Chabaud reraised from the button to 1,000. Action got back to Hurta and he made the call to see the {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. Both players checked and the turn brought the {2-Diamonds}. Hurta checked and Chabaud bet 3,000. Hurta called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Hurta bet out 2,000. Chabaud raised to 12,000 and Hurta called. Hurta could only muck after Chabaud tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} for a full house and dropped to under 20,000 in chips.

He's a LuckSac

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

As you see from the latest chip trend, Kevin MacPhee is having a productive couple levels. He saw us counting down his stack and took the opportunity to tell us how he's moved from about 40,000 up close to 60,000. MacPhee was lucky enough to find pocket aces against the pocket kings of Jean-Marie Vandeborne. A board full of blanks was all she wrote for the Belgian, giving the chips to MacPhee to make him the biggest stack at his table.
