Here Comes Jensen

Not long ago, Greg Jensen was nursing a short stack. Now, the investment banker has made a charge and is up above the chip average.

It happened when Daniel Negreanu opened for 42,000 under the gun, Vladimir Troyanovsky three-bet to 93,000 from the cutoff, and Jensen four-bet all in to 343,000 from the small blind. Negreanu got out of the way and Troyanovsky made the call.

Showdown
Troyanovsky: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Jensen: {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Jensen was dominated, but lucky for the amateur the {4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop delivered him salvation. Neither the {9-Diamonds} turn nor {3-Hearts} river helped Troyanovsky, and he watched a good portion of his chips sent across the table.

A short time later, the same two players saw a flop of {9-Spades}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Jensen check-called a bet of 45,000 from Troyanovsky. Jensen then check-called another bet, this time 129,000, on the {2-Diamonds} turn, and then both players checked the {9-Diamonds} river. Jensen tabled {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for rivered trips, and Troyanovsky simply mucked.

Selbst Ships One

Phil Ivey opened to 50,000 in first position, Bill Perkins called in the cutoff, and Vanessa Selbst three-bet to 123,000 on the button. Both Ivey and Perkins called.

The flop fell {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and the action checked to Selbst who fired 111,000. Ivey and Perkins quickly folded.

Negreanu No More

Daniel Negreanu (Day 1) - Eliminated
Daniel Negreanu (Day 1) - Eliminated

Daniel Negreanu opened to 42,000 from the cutoff, Philipp Gruissem defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Gruissem checked, Negreanu fired 50,000, and Gruissem check-raised to 135,000. Negreanu moved all in for 450,000, and Gruissem called.

"Uh oh," Negreanu uttered.

Negreanu: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Gruissem: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Negreanu was pleasantly surprised that he wasn't crushed, but he didn't connect with the turn ({10-Spades}), or the river ({4-Hearts}). Kid Poker hit the rail, while Gruissem is up to one million chips.

The Ladies Love Ivey

Phil Ivey opened for 50,000 under the gun and received calls from Bill Perkins in the cutoff and Scott Seiver in the small blind. Mike Watson then moved all in from the big blind for right around 260,000. Ivey responded by four-betting, which inspired both Perkins and Seiver to fold.

Showdown
Ivey: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Watson: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} was no help for Watson, and neither was the {K-Spades} turn. Watson needed either a queen or ace on the river to keep his $100K title hopes alive, but it was not in the cards as the {3-Hearts} blanked. With that, Ivey chipped up to over a million while Watson exited the tournament floor.

Sands vs. Rajkumar For 1.422 Million Pot

Vivek Rajkumar opened fore 45,000 from early position and received a call from Scott Seiver in the hijack. David "Doc" Sands then three-bet to 164,000 from the small blind, Rajkumar moved all in, Seiver folded, and Sands called off for 678,000.

Showdown
Rajkumar: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Sands: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

We've seen a lot of races today, and more times than not the pocket pairs have been holding up. That's exactly what happened in this massive 1.422 million pot as the board ran out {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Sands Finishes Off Rajkumar

Vivek Rajkumar was crippled after doubling up David "Doc" Sands, and found himself all in from the big blind. In the hand, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 40,000 from the hijack and then folded when Sands three-bet to 108,000 from the cutoff.

Showdown
Sands: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Rajkumar: {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Rajkumar was drawing live, but he'd be left wanting after the board ran out {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Spades}. With that, Sands finished off Rajkumar.
