Alexandre Reard opened from under the gun and made it 12,000 to play. Reard met some resistance from Kevin MacPhee a couple of seats to his left when MacPhee three-bet to 35,000. Reard called and it was heads-up to the flop.
Reard checked to MacPhee, who declined to bet and checked behind. The saw Reard check then call a 29,000 bet from MacPhee. That was the last of the aggression as both players checked the river.
MacPhee turned over and a disappointed Reard flashed a pair of red queens.
Ramin Hajiyev has just been eliminated over on Table 22, Martin Jacobson was the culprit.
The action folded around to Hajiyev in the cutoff and he pushed all-in for around 60,000. Jacobson called in the big blind to put Hajiyev at risk of being busted out.
Jacobson:
Hajiyev:
Hajiyev paired his nine on a flop but the turn kept him behind. The river improved Jacobson to an unnecessary straight, and Hajiyev headed to the rail.
Sometimes limped pots can cause all sorts of weird scenarios post flop. That happened in a hand just now that cost Philippe Ktorza his tournament life.
Ilan Boujenah limped the button and Timothy Reilly completed before Ktorza checked his option.
The flop fell and it was Ktorza who was the first to bet, for 13,000. Boujenah folded before Reilly put in a check-raise. In a flash Ktorza shoved and Reilly called.
Ktorza: for two pair.
Reilly: for a straight.
The board ran out and Ktorza left in disbelief.
Boujenah always likes to cause a little mischief, even if it's accidental.
Martin Jacobson and Kevin MacPhee have just collided over on Table 22 and it was Jacobson who added more chips to his ever growing stack.
It was a three bet pot, Jacobson in the big blind and MacPhee on the button. The board read and Jacobson fired a 78,000 chip bet at MacPhee. The draw heavy board received no further action because MacPhee folded.
It should be very interesting to see if these two poker Goliath's clash again. With no disrespect to their table mates, MacPhee and Jacobson are the stronger players on Table 22 but they have already shown signs they will not avoid each other.
