A Comeback for Morgan

Jordan Morgan started Day 3 as the chip leader and then proceeded to trend steadily downwards. He's back up to about 600,000 thanks to a very lucky river card. With the whole board out, {10-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, Morgan checked to Elijah Berg. Berg bet about 100,000, then snap-called Morgan's shove of 244,000. Morgan turned up {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} for a rivered set of 7s. Berg looked physically ill, throwing his flopped two pair {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} into the air.

Once Berg counted off the chips required to pay Morgan he was left with just 45,000.

Not Firing the Third Bullet Costs Klein?

We'll never know what Vanessa Rousso would have done if Travis Klein had bet the river. He bet the {5-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} flop and Rousso called. He bet 78,000 on the {J-Hearts} turn and again Rousso called. When the river fell {9-Diamonds}, however, Klein slowed down and checked. Rousso quickly checked behind. Her pair of sixes, {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}, was enough to beat Klein's busted draw, {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, to collect the pot.

"Where's your river bet?" Vanessa Selbst asked Klein.

g0lfa Exits

Ryan D'Angelo - busto
Ryan D'Angelo - busto
Say goodbye to Ryan "g0lfa" D'Angelo. David Fox opened with a standard raise from middle position. Scott Seiver, who has been playing lots of pots with a sizable stack, made a three-bet from the button. D'Angelo shoved the small blind, inducing a fold from Fox but not from Seiver. Seiver called with {9-?} {9-?} and was up against D'Angelo's {A-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The board bricked out, and in a snap D'Angelo's tournament was over.

Seiver appears to be the chip leader now with approximately 2,050,000 chips. A few moments after the hand, Todd Terry showed up to take D'Angelo's seat. "Ah, prime re-steal position," remarked Terry upon seeing Seiver's stack.

"Yeah, that worked out so well for the last guy," quipped Seiver.

A Sharp Elimination

Alan Sternberg opened to 24,000 in early position and Brandon Hall popped it to 64,000 on the button. Larry Sharp went all in from the small blind for about 250,000 and Sternberg gave it up.

Hall made the call and revealed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, crushing Sharp's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Hall won the hand tp increase his stack to back around 800,000, eliminating Sharp in the process.

Add another 175,000 chips to Jordan Morgan's stack -- and this time without a flop. Morgan had the button during a hand in which Dale Jamison opened the betting with a raise to 25,000. Morgan three-bet to 66,000. Jamison seemed to be off i his own world for about a minute before four-betting to 175,000. Morgan instantly moved all in and Jamison just as instantly folded.

Bax Picks Up Some Chips with Preflop Aggression

Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy raised to 25,000 from middle position and then Andrew Ferguson flat-called from the cutoff seat. In the big blind sat Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Rousso and she three-bet to 90,000. Action moved back over to Bax and he moved all in for 543,000 total. Ferguson got out of the way and then Rousso went into the tank. After a couple of minutes, she mucked her hand, leaving herself just over a million chips.
