Busto Bill

[user75032]

A surprisingly short-stacked Bill Chen got his last few thousand chips into the middle with {K-Hearts}

. He was live against Sorel Mizzi's {A-Clubs}

but never improved. Mizzi made two pair, aces and tens, {A-Hearts}

to send Chen to the rail.

Just as Chen departed the table, Maria Ho turned up to take a previously-empty seat.

D'Angelo Dominating

Mickey Doft

We arrived at Ryan D'Angelo's table in time to see him win a huge a pot, eliminating Jamie Armstrong.

The board read {Q-Diamonds}

and D'Angelo re-raised Armstrong all in on the river. Jamie called, but slid his hand to muck when D'Angelo tabled {A-Diamonds}

for broadway.

D'Angelo is up to about 320,000.

McLean Karr showed Todd Terry and Tom Marchese who was dealt the real hand. Terry started with a raise to 5,000. Marchese made it 15,200 from the small blind before Karr four-bet to 34,500. Terry asked how much Karr had behind but didn't seem interested in going further. He and Marchese both folded.

On a nearby table, Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy took out a short stack for roughly 20,000 chips when his {10-Clubs}

held against the short stack's {A-?}

.

Lerner: {7-Clubs}

Negreanu:

The board ran out {8-Hearts}

as Lerner spiked the seven on the river to send Negreanu to the rail.

Lerner is up to about 125,000 after the hand.

Chainsaw Cut Down

Mickey Doft

Allen Kesller three-bet all in with ace-queen and after a short tank by the opponent who raised, he was called by king-seven. Kessler's hand failed to hold up and he was sent to the rail midway through Day 2.

Pahuja's Broadway Good Against D'Agostino

donpeters

From under the gun, Vinny Pahuja raised to 4,000 and then John D'Agostino called in later position. The flop came down {Q-Clubs}

and both players checked.

After the {10-Hearts}

hit the felt on the turn, Pahuja bet 5,000. D'Agostino called. The river was the {6-Hearts}

and Pahuja fired 9,100. D'Agostino called again.

Pahuja rolled over the {A-Spades}

and scooped the pot with a broadway straight to bump himself back to 76,000. D'Agostino dropped to 146,000.

Perfect Turn for Chen

[user140525]

Bill Chen in the big blind was heads up with the small blind on a {A-Spades}

board. The small blind bet 5,100, and Bill Chen carefully counted out his stack before moving all in for around 37,000. His opponent called quickly, and it was time for showdown. Chen held {8-Spades}

for a turned flush while his unhappy caller showed {K-Diamonds}

for the turned straight. Chen's back in the game with just over 80,000 now.
