Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Victor Garrett
Victor Garrett

In one of the first eliminations following the close of registration, Victor Garrett eliminated Terry Gardner. Garrett raised from late position and Gardner defended from the big blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Gardner moved all-in for 16,000.

Garrett asked for the count and casually put in the chips to call.

Terry Gardner: {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Victor Garrett: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Gardner said, "Well, okay," when he saw the bad news. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Gardner exited the tournament area.

Lopez Runs Down Queens with Rags

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joe Lopez
Joe Lopez

Joe Lopez stopped by the media table to recount a hand he played just before the break. A player opened for a raise and Lopez defended his big blind with {j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Lopez checked dark and the flop came {j-}{6-}{2-}, giving Lopez top and bottom pair.

Lopez had checked dark and his opponent bet the flop on the bigger side, according to Lopez, around three-quarters of the pot. Lopez called and then checked dark again. The turn added {8-} to the board, and the same betting pattern took place. His opponent bet big and Lopez called.

The river completed with another {j-}. Lopez says he put two stacks of black together, and put a T1,000 chip on top for a bet of 5,000 total. His opponent snap called and showed {q-}{q-}. Lopez's unlikely boat took it down and Lopez continues to trend at the top of the leaderboard.

Second Nuts

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Strohm
Paul Strohm

Paul Strohm called us over and said, "You missed a sick one."

According to Strohm, he held {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and called a raise to see a flop of {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Strohm bet and his opponent moved all-in. Strohm called all-in for less, hoping his opponent hadn't flopped a higher flush.

His opponent tabled {q-}{10-} for top two pair, and needed to fill up to eliminate Strohm. The turn, however, brought the {j-Hearts} to give Strohm a straight-flush and end the hand. A meaningless {a-Clubs} completed the board.

Both players checked, and the action checked through again on the {j-Diamonds} turn. The river brought the {q-Hearts}, and Henson's opponent led for 1,400. Henson raised to 3,100, but his opponent decided to move all-in for 12,000. Henson folded.

Hand 4: The action folded to the player in the hijack, who opened for 1,600. Henson three-bet to 4,100 in the cutoff, and everyone folded.

Hand 6: A middle position player limped and Henson raised to 2,000. The limper called and the flop came {a-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The limper checked and Henson bet 1,500. His opponent called. Both players checked the {q-Hearts} turn. On the river, the limper open shoved for around 8,000, and Henson folded.

Hand 7: Under-the-gun plus one, Henson opened for 1,600. The big blind called and the flop came {k-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The big blind checked. Henson bet 1,500 and his opponent folded.

Hand 8: Under the gun, Henson folded preflop.

Hand 9: After the button limped and the small blind completed, Henson raised to 2,800 from the big blind. Both opponents called. The flop came {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and the action checked through to the {5-Diamonds} on the turn. The small blind and Henson checked. The button moved all in for around 13,000, and everyone folded.
