Lipman Checks Aces In The Dark

Chad Holloway

Owen Crowe opened for 38,000 under the gun and cleared the field all the way to Michael Lipman, who called and then checked dark from the big blind. The flop saw Lipman call a bet of 38,000, and then he led out for 65,000 on the turn.

The move seemed to take Crowe by surprise, but it didn't deter him from raising to 212,000. Lipman paused for a moment before announcing that he was all in, and Crowe snap-folded. Lipman then showed for a pair of aces with the nut-flush draw.

donpeters

From the hijack seat, Darren Elias raised to 33,000 to kick off the action. Griffin Benger moved all in on the button for 154,000, then action moved over to Patrick Kelly in the big blind. Kelly thought about it for a little bit, then made the call. Elias was back up and took a minute before grabbing much more than 154,000. He cocked back some chips and fired out a reraise to 325,000. Kelly didn't take long to make the call.

Kelly and Elias were still in action on the flop with Benger all in and looking on. Kelly was first and checked. Elias put forward a bet of 250,000, but he was met with a raise all in from Kelly. Elias had a bit over 600,000 behind and went into the tank. Eventually, he gave it up, and Kelly won the side pot.

Kelly revealed the for a flopped set of fives. Benger held the for top pair, top kicker, but was behind.

The turn was the , and the river was the . Benger made two pair, but two pair doesn't beat a set and he was eliminated from play. With that pot, Kelly jumped back into the lead with 2.315 million in chips.

Crowe Gets Some Back From Lipman

Chad Holloway

Michael Lipman limped under the gun and then called when Owen Crowe, who was next to act, raised to 43,000. It was heads-up action to the flop, and Lipman immediately led out for 16,000.

Crowe responded by making it 56,000, and Lipman fired back, "150,000 on top." Crowe paused for a moment and then pushed back to the tune of 406,000, and it proved enough as Lipman, who flashed the , conceded the hand.

Katchalov Meets His End

Josh_Cahlik

Players around the table shot their hands into the muck until action hit Eugene Katchalov on the button. Katchalov open-shipped all in for his last roughly 305,000. Owen Crowe, who was recently moved to Katchalov's table, quickly flat called from the small blind. The big blind folded and the hands were tabled.

Katchalov:
Crowe:

Katchalov was in dire shape and it got even worse when Crowe flopped a full house. The flop left Katchlov looking for running sixes to stay alive. The turned and sealed Katchlov's fate as our 29th place finisher. The meaningless completed the board and Crowe was able to drag in a pot that boosts his stack to about 2.48 million.
