"I can't win a @$*%& coinflip!"
A short stack shoved with {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} and Ibuki Fukui called with pocket fives. Ibuki lost the lead when an ace fell on the flop. He was unable to come from behind and lost the pot. Ibuki Fukui doubled up the short stack and slipped to 12,500.

Alexandre Gomes Rakes a Big Pot

Limbering Up

We arrived at this hand a bit late, but apparently all the money went in after a {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Spades} flop. Perhaps Alexandre Gomes' opponent put him on a flush draw or pure air, but he soon found that his {6-?} {4-?} were way behind Gomes' {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. The {K-Clubs} on the turn and {J-Spades} on the river earned Gomes a pot that lifted his stack all the way up to 52,000.

Sad news. Zach Hall, the fellow we humbly referred to as 'Umbrella Man" is no longer with us. He just busted out. We're too upset right now to even post the hand considering that news of his elimination absolutely devastated us.

Alex Gomes Gets Four Flushed

"Did you see that suckout?"
"Did you see that suckout?"
I caught the hand on the flop of {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {3-Spades}. I could not tell if both players were all in on the flop or if they were all in preflop. Alex Gomes held {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} against an opponent's {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}. The turn was the {8-Spades} and Gomes all of a sudden had to fade a flush draw. Alas, the {3-Spades} spiked on the river and Gomes walked away from the table in disgust after he was brutally runner-runner'd. His opponent was all in for around 27,000. Gomes was left with around 20,000.
