Chartier Eliminated by Cormier

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Chartier
Sam Chartier

Sam Chartier was left with just two big blinds after losing a three-way all-in and finally got his chips in the middle with ace-five.

Chip leader Jeff Cormier called with ace-three, and while it was looking like it would probably be a chop, Cormier flopped a three and Chartier headed for the rail after firing three bullets in this event.

Marko X Doubles Through Cormier

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Cormier opened on the button and Marko X ripped his stack in the middle from the small blind. Cormier thought for a moment and eventually called.

Marko was at risk and ahead with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, up against Cormier's {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Cormier picked up a flush draw while still behind Marko's fives. The turn was the {k-Spades} to give Cormier some more outs, and the river was the {4-Diamonds} to double Marko up.

Bicknell Isn't Falling For Engel's Trap

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

Ari Engel limped in from the small blind and Kristen Bicknell checked her option in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Engel led out for 10,000. Bicknell called. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {j-Spades} on the river.

Engel checked again, as did Bicknell. Engel tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a turned straight, while Bicknell showed {10-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a pair of sixes. These two players have been battling in pots all day, and Engel set the trap but Bicknell wasn't falling for it.
