A Few More Chip Counts

Jaka Busts Another

No, that's not a repost.

Faraz Jaka opened in late position, and an opponent three-bet shoved for around 20,000. Jaka snap-called.

Showdown
Jaka: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Jaka sent another player to the rail.

"Come on Faraz," tablemate Chris Klodnicki piped up. "Save some for the rest of us."

"I'm trying to get to a mil by the end of the day," Jaka answered with a grin. "It's weird getting it in good."

More For Drinan

Connor Drinan
Connor Drinan

On a {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, Connor Drinan check-called 5,000 from David Vamplew to see the {9-Hearts} turn. It was a similar story as Drinan check-called 13,500, landing the {Q-Hearts} on the river. Both checked this time as Drinan tabled the nuts, {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, to defeat Vamplew's {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Chip Counts

Jaka Busts Another

The action folded to a player on the button who moved all in for his last 12,000 or so. Faraz Jaka grabbed a stack of blue T5,000 chips, isolating from the small blind, and the player in the big blind released.

Showdown
Button Player: {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Jaka: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Jaka locked up another elimination.

Mattern Moves Up

Arnaud Mattern on Day 1b
Arnaud Mattern on Day 1b

Miguel Borrero limped into the pot from early position, and Arnaud Mattern raised to 7,200 from the small blind. Borrero called, and they took a heads-up flop.

The dealer fanned out {3-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, and Borrero tried to check. But Mattern was first to act, and he led out with another 8,000 chips. Borrero instantly shoved in for about 55,000 total, and Mattern double-checked the amount before making a pretty quick call.

Showdown
Mattern: {K-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Borrero: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}

Borrero was working with a flush draw, but he found an out of a different sort on the turn. The {A-Diamonds} dropped off, and Borrero let out a, "Yes!" and a fist pump.

"It's not over yet," Mattern said quietly.

River: {K-Diamonds}

"Ohhh!" both players said in unison. "That's nice," Borrero continued smiling. "That's what I get. that's what I get for cheering." With that, he wished his table luck and headed for the door while Mattern stacked up his chips to move close to 190,000.

ADZero

First in from the hijack seat, Matt "ADZ124" Marafioti shoved his last ~27,000 into the pot. The button isolated with the covering stack, the blinds ducked out, and Marafioti was at-risk for his tournament life. And the news was not good.

Showdown
Marafioti: {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

The board ran out blanks for ADZ, coming {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}, and that's the end of the road for Marafioti.

DPeters Doubles

A player near the button opened to 3,500, David Peters three-bet to 8,200 from the small blind, and the original raiser four-bet jammed for effectively 39,500. Peters snap-called.

Showdown
Peters: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Peters lost the lead when the flop fell {6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades}, and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick. The {q-Spades} slammed on the river though, giving Peters a leading pair of queens, and he doubled to more than 80,000 chips.
