Newey Eliminated

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

World Poker Tour blogger Lee Davy told us the details on Paul Newey's bust out. According to Davy, Newey ran {9-Spades}{8-Spades} into {10-Spades}{6-Spades} on a flop of {A-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}. That left him drawing dead, so nothing on the turn or river could save him.

Geilich's Great Hand

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Ludovic Geilich
Ludovic Geilich

Ludovic Geilich sits on a massive stack, and he just told us the story of how he managed to acquire this stack.

Geilich raised to 900 from middle position with {9-}{8-} and a player called on the button and the big blind called as well. The flop brought out {8-}{9-}{6-} with two hearts and the player in the blinds checked after which Geilich bet 1,800.

The player on the button made it 4,500 and the big blind folded after which Geilich called.

The turn was another {8-} and Geilich check-called 7,275. On the river the {10-Clubs} hit and Geilich checked again.

The button bet 12,000 with 11,000 behind and Geilich moved all in. His shove got called, but his opponent mucked when he showed {9-}{8-} for a full house.

Tjauw Foe Comes Back Tomorrow

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Clyde Tjauw Foe had quite a swingy day today, going up and down between 30,000 and 6,000. First he ran {A-}{5-} into {A-}{9-} on a board of {A-}{9-}{7-}{5-}, slamming him down to just 6,000. He started playing a whole lot more hands, and got back up to starting stack, only to lose it again not much later.

The player on the button limped in and the small blind completed. With {A-}{8-} in the big blind, Tjauw Foe raised it up to a 1,000 more and both players called. The flop came {A-}{Q-}{4-} with two hearts. The small blind checked and Tjauw Foe bet 3,500. The button shoved all in, the small blind folded, Tjauw Foe called. His opponent had {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Tjauw Foe didn't improve.

Back to once again 6,000, Tjauw Foe ran pocket nines into pocket jacks. He already has his ticket for tomorrow's Day 1b, so we'll see him back in action tomorrow.

Jorn Walthaus Doubles

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

The player on the button made it 675 to go and Jorn Walthaus in the small blind three-bet to 1,950. The big blind folded, the button called.

Walthaus bet 2,600 on {K-}{J-}{3-} rainbow and his neighbor made the call. Walthaus bet another 5,600 on the {4-Hearts} turn which brought a flush draw to the table. Once again his opponent made the call.

The river was an off suit {7-} and Walthaus shoved all in. His opponent tanked and called, but mucked upon seeing Walthaus' {A-}{A-}.

In the meantime we saw Dan Heimiller and Ramin Hajiyev get up from their seats and hit the rail. No details on their bust outs, we'll check with them if they choose to re enter.

Van der Ven Loses Lots

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Floris van der Ven opened to 800 under the gun and the player two to his left made the call. A player right behind him squeezed to 3,000 and action folded back to Van der Ven. The Dutch cash game player shoved all in and the first player folded, the player who had squeezed instantly called.

Floris van der Ven: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Van der Ven was left behind with just 2,900 in chips.
