Uzoaru Defeats Bogus 'Three-Six Mafia'

Kirk Brown

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ijeoma Uzoaru moved all in preflop for around 18,000 and the action folded to Casey Bogus, who did not hesitate to make the call to put her at risk.

Ijeoma Uzoaru: A♠J♠ All in
Casey Bogus: 3♦6♣

"Oh my god, not the three-six offsuit mafia!" Another player laughed at this crazy call.

The table almost lost their minds as a six appeared right in the window, but an ace came right behind it on the flop of 6♠A♥8♦ to strengthen Uzoaru's lead. The runout of 10♦2♦ was also safe for her and she was pushed the pot for the double.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dean Schultz moved all in preflop for close to 13,000 and was called by one player before Timothy Mulroy shoved over the top for close to 100,000.

The action folded back to the first caller who ultimately folded after some confusion and the hands were tabled.

Dean Schultz: A♦K♥ All in
Timothy Mulroy: K♣K♠

The runout of 2cjs5d10hkd] gave Mulroy the pot while Schultz was eliminated. Meanwhile, the other player admitted to folding ace-queen that would have hit a straight on the river to eliminate both players.

Schultz has since bought back into the tournament and is seated at another table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Timothy Mulroy	128,500
Dean Schultz	30,000

Smith Throws Caution to the Wind

Kirk Brown

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A player moved all in for 34,000 and the action folded to Jamie Smith, who thought for a few seconds.

"Ah f*ck it," he announced and tossed his chips into the middle to put the player at risk.

Player: Q♠J♠ All in
Jamie Smith: A♥K♣

Some of the players rolled their eyes at the fact that Smith would say that with such a strong holding, and they thought it bit him in the ass when a jack appeared in the window, but a king appeared right behind it on the flop of J♦K♥5♠.

The turn K♦ left the at-risk player drawing dead while the 3♦ river sent him to the rail while Smith gathered the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel 'Donk' Hughes moved all in preflop for his last 15,000 and the action folded all the way around to Amir Kamari in the big blind who made the call to put him at risk.

Daniel Hughes: A♠3♥ All in
Amir Kamari: A♣6♥

It looked as if they were going to chop on the turn 7♣Q♦10♣J♣, but the river was the K♣ to give Kamari the nut flush to eliminate Hughes.
