Brady Shoving Around

donpeters

Matt Brady has been picking up pots here and there preflop by shoving his stack into the middle. It doesn't matter whether he's the first one in or moving over the top of someone's raise, Brady has yet to be called. Each time he picks up the pot, his stack grows and he becomes even more of a threat.

First in before the flop. Howard Andrew moved his final 9,500 chips into the pot with {9-Spades}

With that, Roberts flicked the calling chips from his big stack, turning over {K-Clubs}

.

Board: {5-Clubs}

Unable to catch up to survive his all in, Howard "Tahoe" Andrew has made his exit in 35th place.

Welcome Back to the Aruba Poker Classic

donpeters

Welcome back for Day 4 of the Aruba Poker Classic. Yesterday saw 86 players return and one by one, 50 of them fell by the wayside as we reached the final 36. Topping them all was Robert Mizrachi. Mizrachi stayed in high gear all day and finished atop the leaderboard with 743,500 chips.

Also left in the mix are Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin, Howard "Tahoe" Andrew and Brock Parker. The two winners from 2008 and 2007 and still in contention as well. Last year, Matt Brady took home the title and bagged up exactly 50,000 chips. Travis "TravestyFund" Rice won this event the year before Brady and also remains. He finished with about five times as many chips as Brady did.

Action is set to begin in just a few short minutes. Play will be six-handed from here on out and we'll end the day once the final table is reached.
