Pahuja's Broadway Good Against D'Agostino

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}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts} 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}{K-Clubs} and scooped the pot with a broadway straight to bump himself back to 76,000. D'Agostino dropped to 146,000.

Quick Hits

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} {10-Spades} held against the short stack's {A-?} {2-?}.

D'Angelo Dominating

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}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs} 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}{10-Spades} for broadway.

D'Angelo is up to about 320,000.

Busto Bill

A surprisingly short-stacked Bill Chen got his last few thousand chips into the middle with {K-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. He was live against Sorel Mizzi's {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} but never improved. Mizzi made two pair, aces and tens, {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs} to send Chen to the rail.

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

Ivey Sticking Around

There hasn't been much upward or downward movement for Phil Ivey the last few levels. He's still planted at a table in the center of the room, still glued to the coverage of the Masters.

He did take a break long enough to play a hand. He bet a {7-Hearts} {q-Hearts} {10-Spades} flop and was called by an out-of-position player. Both men checked the {J-Hearts} turn. When Ivey's opponent also checked the {K-Diamonds} river, Ivey fired out for 15,000. His opponent called but mucked when Ivey flipped {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for a Broadway straight.

Ivey's sitting behind about 80,000 chips.
