Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Ken Moore
Ken Moore

Ken Moore just eliminated two players and would have eliminated Lee Childs, if he didn't fold pocket kings.

The hand started with a raise from Childs from under the gun to 1,050. The next player to act was Paris Borden. Borden peeled his cards, then looked back at the pot. He took a moment and then reraised to 4,500.

As expected the action folded around the table, but stopped at Bruce Perry. Perry looked at his cards, took a beat, then shoved all in for about 16,000. There wasn't enough time to count Perry's all in, because Moore was sitting to his immediate left in the small blind and he shoved almost before Perry could get his chips in the pot.

Now the action was on Childs again. He only had about 12,000 behind and seemed to have a tough decision. Eventually he folded and Borden tossed in a chip to call the two all ins.

Borden had {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}, Perry {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Moore {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

"I folded kings," said Childs as he saw confirmation he made the correct fold.

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Moore won the hand, sending both Borden and Perry to the rail.

A Sassin: Vaughn Knocks One Out

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Sassin has been sitting with a shorter stack for the last level or so. He got it all in against two players on this hand.

Mounir Koja opened the action with a raise to 2,400 and Sassin went all in for less from the small blind. Anthony Vaughn was in the big blind and called as well.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Koja and Vaughn checked.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Vaughn bet 3,000. Koja folded and Vaughn was left heads up with Sassin.

Sassin had {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} against the {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of Vaughn. Vaughn hit his flush draw and knocked out Sassin.

Lyon's Share

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Mel Lyon got all in in a three-way pot on the flop with the board reading {3-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}. He got two callers.

The two callers didn't put any money into a side pot, as they checked it down. The board finished {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and, after a moment, Lyon turned over {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for quad threes. That was good enough for Lyon to almost triple up.

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Mike Truman is almost back up to his peak chip stack for today. On this hand, he eliminated one player and doubled up through another.

The action started when two players limped and Truman raised to 1,100. Ken Moore called in position. The next player to enter the pot, shoved all in for 5,375. The big blind called and Truman called.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the big blind led for 6,000. Truman called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the big blind checked. Truman shoved all in for 8,650 and the big blind called.

There were three players going into the turn, competing for two pots. The hands were:

Truman: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Big Blind: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Short Stacked Player: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The river was the {q-Spades} and Truman would win the main pot and the side pot with a pair of tens.
