Delaney Crushing Adgee

Delaney is not Adgee's favoruite player right now
Delaney is not Adgee's favoruite player right now
Andrew "Adgee" Jeffreys can't be enjoying having Ben "CNT_CRUSHER" Delaney at his table. Delaney has certainly been getting the best of their recent exchanges.

In one hand Delaney opened to 2,200 from middle position with Jeffreys calling from the cut-off.

On a flop of {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} Delaney fired out 3,200 with Jeffreys smooth calling. The turn {A-Clubs} saw Delaney bet another 7,000 and once again Jeffreys made the call.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Delaney reeled off an all in bet for about 20,000. Jeffreys didn't hesitate making the call.

Delaney tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. "I knew you didn't have an Ace" said Adgee as he flashed his {k-Diamonds}, mucked and shipped the double up to Delaney.

Delaney moved up to 70,000 after that hand. A hand later Delaney took another pot off Adgee at showdown.

Cardno Carved Up

Amongst the carnage we're currently witnessing we've just seen Martin Cardno head out the door.

Cardno got the last of his money in the middle holding {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, only to run into the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} of Nino Ascenzio.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}; thus ends the tournament life of Cardno.

Toothpick Update

Don't mess with the Pick
Don't mess with the Pick
Antonis 'Toothpick Tony' Kambouroglou is recovering from the hit he took to his stack earlier.

He recently tangled with Jason Brown. We caught the action on the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop with a good sized pot already in the middle.

The Pick checked to Brown who bet out 11,000. Toothpick Tony went into the tank and then pushed for about 40,000 more.

Brown was either light or had respect for the power of the Toothpick, either way his hand went into the muck pretty quick.

Toothpick rolls over 65,000.

The Justice Ship is Sailing Along

God runs like 'Adgee'
God runs like 'Adgee'
Andrew 'Adgee' Jeffreys is continuing his amazing run in the PokerNews Cup series and is now our chipleader as we head towards the final break of the day.

With the flop reading {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, an unknown opponent moved all in and forced Jeffreys to make a decision that could have cost him big time.

The only problem for the opponent was that Jeffreys snap-called with {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the straight, well ahead of his {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} to send the opponent to the rail and see Jeffreys stack up 124,000 in chips.

"It's an easy game when you flop the nuts," quipped Jeffreys.

Eliminations Everywhere

We just had a double elimination on table 32.

Steve Bouya moved all in for 3,325 with Albert Amato making the call. Sherrie Gelberg then moved all in for 4,275. Grant Levy called and Amato called the rest to go the {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop.

Amato and Levy checked down the {a-Hearts} turn and {8-Diamonds} river with Amato rolling over {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Gelberg showed her {K-Diamonds}{k-Spades} as she got up from the table and both Levy and Bouya mucked.

Bouya and Gelberg head for the rail and we're down to 70 left.

Sisters are Doing it for Themselves

Lisa Walsh & Latisha Wenlock: looking wonderful!
Lisa Walsh & Latisha Wenlock: looking wonderful!
With the untimely departure of Sherrie Gelberg, there are now only two ladies left in today's Day 1a flight - both with the initials L.W.

Latisha Wenlock has progressed mostly unnoticed but she is fighting on, currently sitting on a stack of 31,000. However leading the charge for the fairer sex is Lisa Walsh, who has moved up amongst the chipleaders with 86,000.

So what else could L.W. stand for? Before you say "Lucky Women", remember that luck only plays a small part in this game!

Damm It

Damm done for the day
Damm done for the day
If Kenneth Damm wants to repeat his deep run from 2008 in this tournament, he's going to need to do so from the repecharge flight tomorrow.

A short-stacked Damm pushed {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} preflop and Michael Pedley made the call from the big blind with {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop spiked the {3-?} coming {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The {4-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river would be enough to send Damm off to the rail today.

Pedley is up to 92,000.

Levy On a Roll

Levy: feeling much better now
Levy: feeling much better now
Grant Levy has had an astounding run in these later stages of the tournament, having now worked his way up to 86,000 after taking out another opponent.

With all the money in the middle preflop between Levy and an unknown opponent, Levy rolled up {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} but found himself behind the opponent's {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

However the flop of {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} put Levy ahead and he stayed there when the board ran out {K-Spades}, {Q-Clubs}, sending the opponent packing.

Kings Into Aces = Zedveron Out

Preflop Ali G limped from early position and Damien Elsing raised it up. Ali G made the call and the players took a {j-?}{8-?}{3-?} flop.

On the flop Ali G checked to Zedveron who fired out 4,000. Ali raised to 12,000 with Elsing moving over the top all in. Ali G made the call.

Elsing certainly didn't expect what came next Ali G rolled over {A-?}{a-?} to be ahead of Elsing's {K-?}{k-?}.

The turn bricked off and an {a-?} hit the river just to rub things in.

With the pot Ali G moves up near the chip lead with Elsing heading for the rail.

Everybody Rob Wang Tonight!

Wang: a smiling assassin?
Wang: a smiling assassin?
Robert Wang has settled in and found his groove, now sitting on 98,000 in chips and applying pressure to his opponents.

Wang popped it up to 2,200 before the flop and an unknown opponent in the big blind made the call, only to then check-tank-fold on the flop of {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} when Wang threw out 30,000.

Normally a quiet and reserved player, Wang has had a lot of fun throughout the tournament today, laughing and having a great time with his tablemates. It seems that by staying positive, the good karma will fall your way!
