Taleghani Continues Heater With Massive Cooler

Shortly after his double-up, Chris Carney found himself out of the tourney after a sick hand against Amir Taleghani.

In a three-way pot with the flop showing {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, there was a bet and two calls to bring the {j-Diamonds} turn.

Carney and Taleghani got all the chips in and the third player got out of the way.

Chris Carney: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Amir Taleghani: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Carney had turned jacks full, but he was crushed by the flopped quad sixes of Taleghani. The {9-Spades} river completed the board and Taleghani is now nearing 200,000 in chips.

On a flop of {q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and about 13,000 already in the middle, Hal Marcus shoved for 66,000 over a bet of 11,000 from his opponent.

His opponent counted out his stack before calling to put Marcus at risk.

Hal Marcus: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Marcus was in dominating position with his set of nines and the {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} runout only improved him to quad nines. He becomes one of the chip leaders as we near the halfway point of the day.

Chris Carney got the last of his chips in preflop in a four-bet pot.

Chris Carney: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Carney held the better kicker heading into the {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop and picked up a flush draw to go with it.

The turn {2-Clubs} was a blank and the river {q-Diamonds} gave him a flush to secure the double.

"Where's PokerNews," asked Ken Baime.

Across the room, Baime was holding up four sevens to celebrate him making quads.

Baime recounted that in a blind-on-blind situation, he had gotten all in the money in preflop with Kyna England.

England held pocket fours while Baime had pocket sevens.

Baime hit a set on the flop and drilled the last seven in the deck on the river to eliminate England with quads. He shoots up the leaderboard heading into the next break.
