Timex Busts

Mickey Petersen opened to 1,600 from the hijack seat, Mike "Timex" McDonald three-bet to 4,200 from the small blind, and Petersen responded with a four-bet to 7,700. McDonald five-bet jammed for around 30,000, and Petersen quickly called.

Petersen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
McDonald: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Petersen held as the board ran out {5-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and McDonald was eliminated.

"See you in a few minutes when you reenter and draw that seat," Jason Lavallee joked.

Nacho Eliminates Silverman

Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

Steven Silverman got his last 10,000 or so all in preflop holding {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and was in bad shape against the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} of Team PokerStars Pro Nacho Barbero. The {7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop provided little for Silverman other than a runner-runner flush draw hope.

The {9-Hearts} turn took that option off the table, meaning Silverman needed a queen on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the {K-Diamonds} peeled off. With that, Silverman exited just shy of the dinner break.

Negreanu Calls With Ace-High

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Scott Seiver opened to 1,600 from early position, Daniel Negreanu called on the button, and the player in the big blind defended. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, the player in the big blind led for 3,100, and only Negreanu called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, both players checked, and the {2-Hearts} completed the board. The player led for 5,500, and Negreanu quickly called.

The player shook his head, prompting Negreanu to table {a-Spades}{10-Spades} for ace-high. It was good.

Poker Is No Trivial Pursuit For Ormson

Larry Ormson
Larry Ormson

Larry Ormson isn't a famous poker player by any means, but that doesn't stop him from competing at the highest levels. The 58-year-old from Elroy, Wisconsin caught the poker bug back in 2010 and has already worked his way up to playing big buy-in events, like today's $25,000 Super High Roller.

Ormson, the 15th of 17 siblings, has done well for himself in the plastics business where he got his break in 1982 when his company started making Trivial Pursuit games. His wife of 20 years, Linda, is at his side here in the Bahamas, while his four children—Heather, Jake, Hayley and Zach—are back home sweating the action online. In the poker world, Ormson surrounds himself with some big-time talent like Tom Marchese, William Reynolds, Chance Kornuth and Keith Ferrera.

Ormson has had a tough time in this tournament and dwindled down to 11,000. Luckily for him, he more than doubled up in a recent hand. It happened when Philipp Gruissem opened for 1,300 from middle position, Brandon Steven called from the button, and Ormson came along from the small blind. Mike Watson then called from the big, the flop fell {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and two checks put action on Gruissem, who continued for 3,000. Steven called and then Ormson tossed in his entire stack of 9,025. Watson folded, as did Gruissem, and Steven, who had a big stack, made a hesitant call with {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Ormson tabled {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and watched as the dealer put out the {3-Clubs} and {7-Spades} on the turn and river respectively. He's still relatively short, but it's a start.
