Emad Takes Another Scalp

Emad Tahtouh
Emad Tahtouh
Emad Tahtouh has a sly grin on his face as he rakes in another big pot, leaving a player walking away wondering, "What if?"

On a board of {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{10-Spades} Tahtouh's opponent kissed his last 15,400 goodbye as they made their way into the middle to be called by Tahtouh holding {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. His opponent rolled over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} but was gutted to see a river {4-Spades} to give Tahtouh the flush.

Tahtouh raked them in chirping, "That was sooo hot!"

Michael Tang Doubles Through Joe Cabret

Cabret pushed it too hard against Tang
Cabret pushed it too hard against Tang
Joe Cabret has significantly stepped up the aggression in the last hour. It had been paying dividends for him until he clashed with Michael Tang.

Preflop Cabret opened to 3,000 and Tang made it 8,000. Cabret called and they took a {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked to the turn {j-Diamonds} where Cabret checked, and Tang made it 8,000. Cabret check-raised all in and Tang made the all in call for his final 22,000 chips.

Tang {A-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Cabret {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Cabret flicked his cards across the table in disgust, as the river {6-Clubs} blanked off.

Tang moves up to 65,000. Cabret is down to 45,000.

Zowie Donged

Jonathan Karamalikis has continued his good form after sending Michael Zowie to the rail.

We believe the chips were in on the flop with the final board running out {5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}-X. Karamalikis tabled {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for the full house as Zowie couldn't better that with his {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

A few minutes later Karamalikis eliminated another opponent with {A-?}{K-?} versus {A-?}{10-?} to now find himself over 150,000 chips.

Lunardi is Bust-O!

Lunardi Eliminated
Lunardi Eliminated
After a valiant effort, Kristian "Badabing" Lunardi is reporting to the rail. Lunardi holding {10-Hearts}{6-Spades} declared all in and was called by Rayan Nathan holding {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
sending Nathan's stack to 45,000 and Lunardi to the bar.

Bernard Slips

James Bernard opened to 2,500 preflop and the action folded around to the player in the big blind who shoved all in for his last 11,725. Bernard made the call.

Bernard: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{3-Spades}

The flop brought a real sweat as it fell {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Clubs} to switch the lead but give Bernard a flush draw. However the turn and river bricked out {5-Diamonds}, {Q-Diamonds} to give the big blind the double up. Bernard slips to 48,000 chips.
