Heimiller Wins Early

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

Dan Heimiller recently registered into the tournament. One of his first hands saw him open to 700 from under the gun and get called by Austalian Poker Hall of Famer Gary Benson.

The flop came down {3-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Heimiller bet out 1,000 and was called. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn saw another bet of 1,300 from Heimiller which was enough to take down the pot.

Khouiss’ Run Comes to an End

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

We arrived at the table with the board showing {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Sam Khouiss checked from the cut off before his opponent threw out a bet of 2,000.

“I’m all in,” announced Khouiss, getting his last 5,825 into the middle. “This is probably my last hand,” he added. “I have you smashed.”

His opponent did make the call and Khouiss quickly turned over his {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a set of tens. His opponent showed {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} and was drawing to a straight. The {4-Hearts} was a blank for both players but the {8-Clubs} on the river gave Khouiss’ his straight.

The unfortunate river saw Khouiss jump out of his chair and head for the rail.

Lisandro vs. Lin

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

David Lin raised to 650 from under the gun and Jeff Lisandro defended from the big blind. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, and then Lisandro bet 1,300 after the dealer burned and turned the {Q-Hearts}. Lin folded.

It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their counts.

Guzzardi Out Before the Last Break

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

In the final hand before the break, Zane Ly opened to 600 from the hijack. Oliver Gill made the call from the small blind before Michael Guzzardi raised it up to 2,400 from the big blind. Ly made the call and Gill folded.

The flop came down {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Guzzardi slid out 3,000. Ly reached for his chips and bet out 8,000 which was enough to cover Guzzardi. He called.

Guzzardi: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Ly: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Ly had flopped a set of kings and was able to take down the pot when the board ran out the {6-Diamonds} and {7-Hearts}.

Clements Doubles

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

Scott Clements waited until the very last moment to register into today’s event.

We just caught a hand were Australian Poker Hall of Famer Jason Gray bet out 1,200 from under the gun plus one. Clements then moved all in for 4,500 in chips as the decision folded back around to Gray. He called.

Gray: {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Clements: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} to see Gray almost get there with his flush and straight draws on the turn. Clements happily took down the pot with top two pair to see him move up to 9,600 in chips.
