Addamo Falls on a Beat

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Addamo

Tuan Tran bet 6,500 on an {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop from early position and Michael Addamo raised to 15,500 on the button. Tran quickly announced all in and Addamo called off for his 61,000 or so.

Michael Addamo: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Tuan Tran: {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Addamo had the best of it but the {3-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds} runners gave his opponent a boat. Tran broke into song and said it was revenge for Addamo bluffing him earlier.

Addamo Almost Goes All-In

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Addamo raised to 5,000 from under the gun and was called by both Juha Helppi on the button and Sam Grafton in the big blind.

They all checked through the {7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}] to see the {5-Clubs} come on the turn. Both Grafton and Addamo check-called when Helppi bet 10,000.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds}, Grafton checked, Addamo tanked and handed a time bank card in before betting 45,500, leaving 1,500 behind. Helppi quickly folded and so did Grafton after a few seconds.

Daniel Dvoress
Daniel Dvoress

Daniel Dvoress raised on the button and called it off for 64,000 when Joao Vieira set him in from the big blind.

Daniel Dvoress: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Joao Vieira: {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Vieira's rags were live and the {4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop improved him to a flush draw. The {9-Hearts} and {8-Spades} were bricks, though.

Timothy Adams: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Tran Caught Bluffing

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Stefan Schillhabel checked in the big blind and called 32,000 from Tuan Tran in the cutoff on {2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. On the {k-Diamonds} river, Schillhabel checked and quickly called another barrel of 80,000.

Tran simply patted the table and mucked and Schillhabel took the pot without showing a card.

O'Dwyer Out for Now

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The details of how Steve O'Dwyer lost most of his stack are unknown but he was all-in for his last 1,500 from the small blind against Michael Addamo in the big blind.

Steve O'Dwyer: {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Michael Addamo: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} to O'Dwyer to hit a pair of fives on the flop but not get any further help as he was eliminated for now. Reentries are possible until the start of Day 2, so he might be back later today or tomorrow.

Eibinger Out of Time

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andras Nemeth bet 85,000, about the size of the pot, from under the gun on a completed board of {6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. Matthias Eibinger has checked in the big blind and he used his last two time extensions before calling.

"Straight," Nemeth announced, showing {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nuts.

Eibinger now has less chips and 30 seconds and only 30 for his remaining decisions today.

Muehloecker Getting Shorter

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Thomas Muehloecker called on the button and Timothy Adams raised to 11,500 from the big blind which Muehloecker then called.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Adams continued with a bet of 6,500 and Muehloecker called again.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, Adams now checked and Muehloecker bet 8,500. Adams thought for a bit and then decided to put Muehloecker all-in for his last 27,000. Muehloecker stared at Adams for a while, looked at his cards once more before folding them.
