Tilly Six Bets

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jennifer Tilly is playing fast and aggressive today and thus far it's worked out in her favor.

A few moments ago there was a raise and a three-bet to 2,075 in front of her when she four-bet to 6,000. The original raiser folded, but the three-bettor put in a fifth bet worth 11,975. Tilly did not back down, rather she six-bet to 21,000, forcing a fold and won her the hand,

Despite dipping below six-figures earlier, Tilly is now back up to 106,000 chips.

All You Can Eat, Baby

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Men "The Master" Nguyen raised to 900 from middle position and received calls from Praz Bansi and the big blind. When the flop came down {7-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, the big blind checked, Nguyen bet 2,000, and Bansi got out of the way. The big blind then surprised the table with a check-raise to 5,600 only to have Nguyen instantly move all in for 25,050 total. The big blind took about a minute before folding, which bumped Nguyen up to around 34,000.

Little: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Opponent 1: {8-Spades}{3-Spades}
Opponent 2: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Little did not improve on the turn ({j-Diamonds}) or the river ({5-Diamonds}) and hit the rail.

Veenman Gets Aggressive

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

With 4,600 in the pot and a board reading {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, an early position player checked to Team PokerStars Pro (Online) Richard Veenman, who bet 2,800. His opponent called and the two watched the {10-Clubs} hit the river. Once again it checked to Veenman and he bet 6,000. His opponent thought about it for a moment vefore relinquishing his hand. Veenman took down the decent-sized pot and increased his stack to 36,000.

Tilly Continues to Drop

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Five players saw a flop of {k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} including Daniel Alaei and Jennifer Tilly. The action checked to a player in the cutoff who bet 1,825 into about 3,500 and only Tilly called.

The turn brought the {q-Clubs} and Tilly's opponent fired 3,100. Tilly again called.

The {9-Spades} rivered and Tilly's opponent slowed down, checking to Tilly who tossed in 8,000. Her opponent called and Tilly opened up {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes. They were no good against her opponent's {k-Spades}{j-Spades} however, and Tilly's stack dropped to 89,000 chips.

Maridu & Negreanu Eliminated

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

PokerStars Team Pro Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck was recently eliminated. She ran her set of tens on the flop against her opponent's flopped set of kings and was unable to surivive, hitting the rail just before the end of Level 4.

Likewise, Daniel Negreanu couldn't keep up his momentum from the $100k Super High Roller tournament and busted when he ran pocket eights into ace-king.
