Crawshaw Wins a Fun Hand; Spano Leads

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

"Do you want to hear a fun hand?" Hamish Crawshaw said as he sat behind a respectable stack of around 115,000.

Crawshaw went on to explain that he had busted an opponent when he called a raise with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} out of the small blind and check-raised a {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-} flop with bottom pair and the nut flush draw. His opponent jammed for around 45,000 with {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and didn't get there.

While the stack of Crawshaw is not too shabby, Robert Spano has more than double of that and appears to be the chip leader heading into the dinner break.

The nine seat on that table is now empty and formerly belonged to Jim Pizanias.

Vukovic Forces Fold From White

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Ashish Gupta has been eliminated and one table over, Andrew White saw his stack cut down by some margin.

White three-bet a raise by Mladen Vukovic from 1,800 to 5,000 and Vukovic called. They checked the {10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Vukovic bet the {4-Hearts} turn for 3,000 and White called.

On the {q-Diamonds} river, Vukovic bet 27,000, which had White's remaining stack covered, and he forced a fold.

Feature Table Action

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jacob Horowitz doubled on the feature table while Jim Condylis was eliminated. Jason Gray was left with a chip and a chair, too, and ended up all in soon after against Ron Bean.

Bean bet the {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop to isolate and tabled {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for top pair, while Gray showed his {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. The {6-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river sent the next player to the rail.

The two empty seats were filled with Rehman Kassam and Andrej Senic.

Natoli Falls to Darbani

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Teresa-Ann Natoli called from the cutoff for her last 700 and Hauman Darbani called 800 in the small blind. Minh Nguyen raised to 3,000. Darbani three-bet to 6,800 and Nguyen folded for them to battle it out.

Teresa-Ann Natoli: {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Hauman Darbani: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Natoli got up from her chair and packer her stuff up when she saw Darbani's cards.

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Spades} for Darbani to flop two pair and improve to a full house to send Natoli to the rail.

Gupta Folds to Jam

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Shivan Abdine raised to 2,000 in late position and picked up three callers in the cutoff, button and big blind. The {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop was checked to Abdine and he continued for 3,600. The cutoff moved all in and everybody got out of the way.

Even More for Fazzino

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante
Salvatore Fazzino
Salvatore Fazzino

Salvatore Fazzino defended his big blind and ended up having a shorter stack at risk on the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop.

Fazzino had flopped trips with {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} while his opponent turned over {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. The {j-Hearts} turn and the {3-Clubs} river were both blanks and the rich got richer.

Yang Lei jammed into a raise to 1,800 and two calls. One of his opponents asked for a count, but 35,300 proved to be too much.
