Nagygyorgy Beats Hansen with Full House

When we got to the table on this hand, the board read {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Spades} between Gus Hansen and Tibor Nagygyorgy. Hansen had 11,100 in front of him and Nagygyorgy had 23,100 in front of him. After a minute or two, Hansen made the call to see the river.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and Hansen checked. With 28,200 behind, Nagygyorgy bet 13,200. After several long minutes and strange face making, Hansen called.

Nagygyorgy tabled the {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a full house and Hansen mucked his hand.

Moorman Goes Boom

Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth and Chris Moorman got into a big raising battle preflop that saw all on Moorman's money go into the middle. Although we missed most of the action, we gathered that Ainsworth opened from middle position, Moorman three-bet from the big blind, Ainsworth four-bet, Moorman five-bet and then Ainsworth shipped. Moorman snap-called with the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and was dominating the {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for Ainsworth.

The flop, turn and river ran out {6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Moorman doubled up. He was all in for 104,400 and is now over 200,000.

Cates Cut Down

Daniel Cates - out
Daniel Cates - out

Daniel Cates has just been eliminated in unkind fashion, and he nearly left a vapor trail with how quickly he left.

We only caught up on the turn as the board showed {3-Spades} {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and Cates was already all in. He had the nuts, though, the {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, and he was looking to double through Petru Moraru's {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. The set turned into a full house on the river, though, and the {A-Clubs} ushered Cates to the exit steamily.

Duhamel Busts One

Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel raised from middle position to 2,200. Minna Ritakorpi called on the button and then Stefano Demontis called from the big blind.

The flop came down {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Demontis checked. Duhamel bet 2,800 and Ritakorpi raised all in for around 14,000. After Demontis folded, Duhamel quickly called.

Ritakorpi: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Duhamel: {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and river the {8-Hearts}. Ritakorpi had missed her flush draw and was eliminated from play by the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion.

Pagano Stumbles

Luca Pagano
Luca Pagano

In middle position, Calvin Anderson opened to 2,500, and Luca Pagano three-bet to 5,700 a couple seats over. Anderson flatted, and off they went heads-up.

The {8-Spades} {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} flop drew a leading bet from Anderson as he slid out 11,400. Pagano called, and they checked through the {A-Clubs} turn. On the river, the {Q-Clubs} sprang Anderson back into action, and he fired out with another 26,900. The call represented more than half of Pagano's remaining stack, but he eventually made it with some reluctance.

Anderson turned over {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}, and we never got to see Pagano's cards. They hit the muck, and the Italian has fallen back under starting stack.
