Some Days are Simply Bad

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Scott Clements
Scott Clements

We spotted Scott Clements in the $2,200 Event 2 and the start-of-the-day chip leader has indeed been eliminated just before the money after pretty much losing every single hand he played. The one to have benefited the most from this losing streak was Didier Guerin, who got moved into the seat next to Clements after the elimination of Ismael Bojang.

Lindeblad Assesses the Bottom of Colman's Range

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

From middle position, Stephen Lindeblad raised to 2,200. Julius Colman called on the button, and everyone else folded before the dealer fanned out the {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Lindeblad checked, and Colman checked.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and Lindeblad led with a bet of 2,700. Colman called, and the {9-Hearts} landed on the river. Lindeblad and Colman both checked.

Lindeblad revealed the {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but that was no good against Colman's slow-played {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} and he won the pot.

"If I shove, you call," said Colman in a somewhat regretting tone as if to convey that he missed out on an opportunity to double up.

"What?!?!" blurted out Lindeblad. "No way! What am I beating? A pair of sevens? At worst you've got ace-king and I'm flipping. The bottom of your range is ace-king."

Pickering Grabs One from Danzer

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

From middle position, George Danzer raised to 2,000. Dan Heimiller called from the hijack seat, and then Jamie Pickering called on the button. The three players saw the flop come down {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Danzer led with a bet of 2,700. After Heimiller folded, Pickering made the call.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, and Danzer checked. Pickering bet 4,700, and Danzer called to see the {5-Hearts} complete the board on the river. Both players checked.

Pickering showed the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and Danzer mucked his hand.

Brandon Shack-Harris Eliminated in 53rd Place

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The money bubble burst a few minutes ago and it didn't take long for the first player to join the rail. Brandon Shack-Harris would be next after losing a race versus fellow short stack Mace Turco with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} versus {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. The American improved on the {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop, but Turco binked the {8-Hearts} on the river.

That hand left Shack-Harris with only a few big blinds and he busted shortly after against Jeff Madsen.

Zane Ly Cracks the Bubble

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was not even any hand-for-hand play activated yet as two players busted at almost the same time. While the floor announced to hold the action after their current hand was completed, Paul Sharbanee moved all in on table 26. Zane Ly was in the blinds and made the call with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} out of the big blind.

It was a flip against the {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} of Sharbanee and two queens appeared on the flop. Neither turn nor the river delivered one of the two remaining jacks in the deck and suddenly everyone was in the money.
