Nomula Doubles Again

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Shiva Nomula has a pretty good track record this tournament when he gets all in.

Earlier he tripled up all in with queens on a hand that eliminated Jessie Bryant.

Just now he had a set of sevens against Darron Huggins for all his remaining chips. Nomula is now over 100,000 and might get to spend some time making bets that aren't for all his chips.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Adam Bacon just won a huge pot after a three-bet to 6,200 preflop got two callers.

Josh Lowing, Will Difani and Bacon saw the flop of and Lowing checked. Difani bet 11,500 and Bacon raised to 26,700. Lowing folded. Then the action was on Difani. He debated, then called.

The turn was the , completing a possible fllush and Difani checked again. Bacon seemed to be thinking for about 30 seconds, then went all in, putting the pressure on Difani.

Bacon was all in for his tournament life for 33,500 and Difani was sitting at about 57,000, so the call would be more than half his stack. Difani seemed to have a really tough decision and eventually folded.
