Troyanovskiy and Gregg Play Two Together

On the {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Vladimir Troyanovskiy fired a bet of 3,500, and Anthony Gregg made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades}, and Troyanovskiy bet 11,000. Gregg made another call, and the river brought the {Q-Clubs}. Troyanovskiy checked, and Gregg bet 22,500. Troyanovskiy folded, and Gregg won the pot.

On the next hand, Gregg opened with a raise from the cutoff seat to 3,200, and Troyanovskiy called from the big blind.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and action checked through to see the {5-Diamonds} added on fourth street. Troyanovskiy bet 3,000, and Gregg called.

The river was the {10-Diamonds}, and both players checked. Troyanovskiy showed the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of queens, and Gregg mucked his hand.

King-High is Good

The river was the {2-Hearts}, and Cheong tanked for a bit before checking. Reinkemeier checked behind, and tabled {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for king-high.

Frustrated, Cheong mucked.

One for the Mad Dog

With the board reading {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Philipp Gruissem led out for 5,500 into pot of around 12,000. Mike Watson called.

The {10-Spades} completed the board, and Gruissem slowed down, checking to Watson. The Canadian fired 8,000, sending the German into the tank. Perplexed, Gruissem started to scrunch his face as he examined the board.

Finally, he folded, and Watson pulled in the pot.

After Doubling Early Lemke's Night Has Taken A Turn For The Worse

Brian Lemke
Brian Lemke

In the first 20 minutes of this tournament nearly 12 hours ago, Brian Lemke became the first player to double when he picked up aces and Jonathan Jaffe got frisky with {J-}{8-}. It was a great start to the day, but this last level has taken it's toll.

Lemke recently lost a race to Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger. It happened when the latter got his stack of 82,600 all in preflop with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and was up against the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Lemke. Both the {Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop and {2-Spades} turn kept Lemke in the lead, but then the {A-Hearts} spiked on the river to give Lichtenberg the come-from-behind win. Lemke was left with just 43,000.

Raghavan Shoves River Against Lichtenberger

From the cutoff seat, Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 4,000. Ravi Raghavan made the call on the button, and the player in the big blind also came along to see the flop.

On the flop, the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs} fell, and action was checked to Lichtenberger. He bet 5,200, and Raghavan called. The big blind folded.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {Q-Diamonds} fall on the river. After Lichtenberger checked, Raghavan moved all in for right around 36,000. Lichtenberger tanked, then folded, and Raghavan won the pot.
