A Controversial Exit

[user22113]

I just spoke to Vicky, and she said she was happy with the way that she went out because it was the most "preposterous situation possible," which is much better than going out by playing badly.

The player under the gun raised, but the big blind had not been dealt any cards. It was folded to Vicky, who reraised on the button thinking she was going for a blind steal, but she was in fact forced to reraise the under the gun player.

Some players complained that the hand should have been voided, but too much action had taken place and Vicky got committed to a hand she would have otherwise gotten away from.

"I'm 90 Percent Sure I Have the Best Hand..."

[user22113]

...but then Mark Vos decided 90 percent wasn't sure enough for him to call a river bet from Ulliott.

On a {7-Spades}

flop, Mark Vos bet out 2,000 and Ulliott immediately raised to 6,000. Vos called.

Turn was the {5-Diamonds}

and both players checked.

River was the {K-Hearts}

. Vos checked and Ulliott bet 7,000, leaving himself with just over 4,000 in chips.

After a long speech Vos eventually folded, and The Devilfish showed {A-Hearts}

for just ace-high.

"There's Nothing to See Here..."

[user22113]

Willie Tann is out.

He was exiting the tournament area, shaking his head, and I asked him what happened.

His response was, "Nothing. I had no hand," and he kept on walking.

Andreas Hagen Doubles Up

[user22113]

versus

. He's now on 6,000.

Also, Dave Ulliott has now moved tables, so Mark Vos is unlikely to be able to exact his revenge on the Englishman.

Moneymaker in Trouble

[user10666]

Chris Moneymaker is riffling mostly air at the moment, as his chips continue to leak away.

Opponent raises 1,500, Moneymaker reraises to 4,000, and the opponent moves in. Moneymaker dwells up and eventually folds. His opponent shows {10-Hearts}
