Feusner Felled

Terry Feusner
Terry Feusner

Terry Feusner is out following a couple of tough luck hands in rapid succession.

The first saw Feusner up against a short-stacked Ian Searing who was all in with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} versus Feusner's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades} to put Searing in front, and after the {2-Hearts} turn and {J-Clubs} flop, Feusner was down to about 65,000.

Soon after that hand Feusner raised to 6,500 from middle position and only Daniel Wach called him from the big blind. The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Wach checked. Feusner continued for 12,000, and Wach leaned forward to inquire how much Feusner had left. Wach then check-raised all in, and Feusner called fairly quickly.

Feusner had {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker, but Wach had flopped two pair with {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and river the {5-Spades}, and Feusner has been eliminated.

Millen Plays Position

Tanner Millen opened with a raise to 4,200 from the button, then Jennifer So reraised to 12,500 from the small blind. It folded back to Millen who sat quietly for about a minute, then pushed out a reraise to 24,500.

That bet sent So into the tank, and after some time she finally let her hand go. Millen then showed one card before dragging the pot — the {6-Clubs} — and the table reacted with assorted chuckles and commentary.

Gnidash Doubles Through Ryan

Denis Gnidash
Denis Gnidash

Michael Ryan opened to 6,200 under the gun and John Chapman called from the hijack. Denis Gnidash three-bet to 17,500 from the cutoff and only Ryan called to see the {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Ryan moved all in for 78,000 effective and Gnidas wasted little time in calling.

Ryan: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Gnidash: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The {9-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river were safe for Gnidash, securing the double up.

Baldassano Doubles Through Tracy

Vince Baldassano
Vince Baldassano

Joseph Tracy raised to 4,200 from middle position, and it folded to Vince Baldassano in the small blind who made it 10,200 to go. It folded back to Tracy who paused for about a half-minute, then reraised to 23,200. Baldassano thought for a while, then shoved all in for 34,900 and Tracy called.

Tracy had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Baldassano {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, then the flop came {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades} to give Baldassano a set. The turn was the {5-Spades} to fill him up, making the {10-Diamonds} river no matter.
