Grimes Doubles Through Alaei

Level 2 : 150/300, 25 ante

With 20,000 in the pot and a board reading {3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Al Grimes moved all in out of turn for 9,225 against Daniel Alaei. Tablemate Daniel Negreanu got a good chuckle as Alaei simply said, "I was gonna do that."

Eventually Alaei made the call but mucked when Grimes revealed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a rivered full house. Grimes is up to 38,000 while Alaei took a hit down to 21,000.

"It is the Dario Show Here at Table 22"

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

We were walking by Table 22 when we noticed Dario Minieri with three bounty chips in front of him. In addition to his own, he had collected both Chad Brown's and Peter Gould's. "It is the Dario show here at Table 22," Matt Affleck joked as we made note of Minieri's success.

In other elimination news, Michael Benvenuti was eliminated by Josh Brikis; David "ODB" Baker knocked out Patrick White; and Joe Hachem has been sent to the rail.

Bardah Five-Bet Shoves

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

From the cutoff seat, Thomas Fuller raised to 800, the minimum amount. Twenty-fourth place finisher in the 2010 WSOP Main Event Ronnie Bardah was on the button and reraised to 2,300. The small blind mucked, but Kyle Frey in the big blind had other plans. He four-bet to 5,300. After Fuller folded, the decision was to Bardah and he tanked for a little bit. He tossed his bounty chip into the middle to show that he was all in. Frey tanked for a bit with about 23,000 behind, but eventually mucked his hand and Bardah scooped the pot.

Bardah's up to 32,000 now.

Blom Moves All In

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

James Dempsey was under the gun and raised to 1,025. Viktor Blom was next to act and called as the rest of the table got out of the way. Dempsey threw out a continuation bet of 1,700 on the {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop and Blom called, leaving himself just 5,750 behind.

The dealer burned and turned the {7-Clubs} and Dempsey checked. Blom moved all in, Dempsey called, and the cards were turned up:

Dempsey: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Blom: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

Blom was ahead with two pair and needed to dodge a diamond on the river. He did just that as it came the {2-Spades}, doubling him to around 17,000. Dempsey took a hit down to 11,500.

Team PokerStars Updates

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

The Team PokerStars Pros have had mixed results recently. Team Pro (Sweden) Viktor Blom couldn't capitalize on his recent double and was busted by Cliff Josephy.

Likewise, Team Pro (USA) Dennis Phillips got his last 9,000 in good with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} against the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} of Micah Raskin. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and he had to pass his bounty chip to his opponent.

On the other side of the spectrum, Team Pro (Canada) Greg Debora called the all in bet of Dwyte Pilgrim on a {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop.

Debora: {J-Diamonds}{8-}
Pilgrim: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped a straight draw but Debora's kicker was in play. The {Q-Clubs} turn changed nothing and neither did the {6-Clubs} on the river. Debora's jack-high was good enough to eliminate Pilgrim from the tournament.
