Incredible Rundown Launches Cordeiro

Level 5 : 300/600, 75 ante

Over at table 13, an incredible hand took place in which three players got eliminated at the same time! Kelly Saxby and Nam Van Catzel filled us in on the details, which left Valdir Cordeiro Dos Santos as the sole survivor.

According to Saxby and Van Catzel, Cordeiro had opened and two players had called, including Alex Zeligman. Behind Zeligman, a player shoved all in for 11,000. Cordeiro reshoved all in for 60,000, which covered the remaining two players.

Little did Cordeiro expect that both players would snap-call the shove! Zeligman, as the final caller, held {A-}{A-}. The first all in player held {10-}{10-}, Cordeiro tabled {A-}{Q-} and the second all in player was in poor shape with his {Q-}{Q-}.

The {K-}{5-}{4-} flop was as innocuous as could be, but the {J-} on the turn opened up a gutshot straight draw for Cordeiro to eliminate all others. Sure enough, the {10-} landed on the river, sending everyone in a frenzy. Cordeiro added the three stacks to his own and is now at 130,000.

Michael van Gerwen Eliminated

Michael van Gerwen

Darts legend Michael van Gerwen's first Unibet Open has come to an end. The Dutchman, who's an avid poker player in his free time, was down to his last fifteen big blinds when his final hand took place.

After a raise and two calls, Van Gerwen looked down at {A-}{Q-} in the big blind and went all in. Two players folded, but the player in the small blind called with {6-}{6-}. The board ran out with a {2-}, {3-}, {4-} and {5-}, which gave the small blind the winner with the higher straight.

Riding Haigh

Level 6 : 400/800, 100 ante

Robert Haigh already has ran up his stack to 160,000 and is the presumable chipleader of Day 1b Some of those chips came at the expense of David Clarkson, who just busted against Haigh.

On a {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} board, Haigh bet 3,700 and Clarkson shoved all in for 18,000. Haigh called it off with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and was far ahead against Clarkson's {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The river {10-Spades} didn't help Clarkson and he headed for the rail.
