The Bigger Chip Stacks

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Well Hung

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Hung Nguyen is up to 190,000 - he just eliminated a short stack who made an ill-advised shove with {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} on a {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop onlyto run into Nguyen's {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, the {2-Clubs} turn and {5-Hearts} changed absolutely nothing.

Andrew Dwyer Busts Murray and Tumosa

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Andrew Dwyer can enjoy his break having busted two players.

Derek Murray went all in, Dwyer too pushed all-in and a third player, Saulius Tumosa joined the party.

Murray showed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, Dwyer {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}, Tumosa {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Dwyer took all their chips.

Aboudi Makes a Tough Call to Eliminate Hawksby

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After Jonathan Slater opened for 11,500 from the hijack and Ido Aboudi, who hails from Israel and qualified via PokerStars, called from the big blind. The UK's Andrew Hawksby, who also qualified via PokerStars, then moved all in from the big blind for 93,000. Slater got out of the way, and then Aboudi thought for about a minute before making the call.

Hawksby: {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Aboudi: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Hawksby's body language indicated that he knew he'd been caught and he began calling for a queen. Aboudi sat in silence and watched as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}. Hawksby failed to catch and hit the rail in 80th place; meanwhile, Aboudi was awarded for the tough call and chipped up to 285,000.

Straub Without Mercy or L'Honore

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ryan Straub
Ryan Straub

Ryan Straub has jumped up into the chip lead after catching a three-outer to send David L`Honore to the rail.

Straub: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
L'Honore: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

L'Honore looked all set for a double up until the river of a {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board. Straub has picked up several pots over the last half hour since the bubble burst and is looking dangerous.

An Unprecendented Two Pair Fiasco

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Room View
Room View

We just witnessed a hand go down that in all likelihood we never will see again. We didn't catch the exact hand, but rather what happened after the action was completed.

When we arrived, Dominic Mahoney was pleading his case to the dealer with a board reading (in no particular order) {k-}{10-}{7-}{K-}{x-}. Mahoney declared two pair, and then his opponent, Christine Ann Dunn, tabled {10-}{7-}. Mahoney tossed his cards to the dealer facedown and then had some sort of epiphany.

Mahoney wanted his cards back, which the dealer had pulled within millimeters of the muck without touching it. The entire table was giving their two cents, including Irish poker legend Padraig Parkinson. The general consensus seemed to be that Mahoney had mucked and conceded the hand to Dunn. It wasn't done there though.

Mahoney continued to plead his case until the dealer called the floor. The situation was explained, and even though the floor initially believe the hand to be dead, Mahoney somehow convinced him otherwise, much to Dunn's dismay. Mahoney was very apologetic and admitted that he had made a mistake, but since his cards were retrievable, they should be. The floor then agreed and Mahoney seemed satisfied as the dealer turned over his cards... {3-}{3-}.

No one expected the hand to be a losing one, including Mahoney. He soon realized his folly and to say he was embarrassed would be an understatement. "I need to go get a drink," he said before exiting the room. Needless to say, the rest of the dumbfounded table got a laugh out of the unprecedented situation.
