The Tony Anti-Betties

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Recently, Tony G shared a video of his Lithuanian cheerleaders, the Tony Betties, while he was in London enjoying the olympics with the Lithuanian basketball team. The Royal Flush Girls here at the World Poker Tour were feeling a little "put out". Perfect excuse to have some fun off-the-felt in our opinion! Daniel 'jungleman12' Cates thought so too.

Blinds: 4,000/8,000

Stoyanov Crippled By Rheem

Vyacheslav Stoyanov is now nursing a micro-stack after losing out in a huge pot involving Chino Rheem.

The flop read {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Rheem lead out, Stoyanov raised and Rheem instantly shoved. Stoyanov called equally as fast and the cards were flipped over.

Rheem:{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Stoyanov:{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The next community card was the {A-Diamonds} improving Rheem to an unbeatable flush.

"That's the baby right there," exclaimed Rheem as he leaped out of his seat.

The inconsequential {k-Clubs} on the river completed the hand and Rheem is back in business.

No Luck For Nitsche or Fox

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Dominik Nitsche is lamenting his bad luck after he was eliminated by Andrey Shatilov.

Nitsche held {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} against the Russian's {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a 420,000 pot but the board ran out {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Spades} in favour (or favor if you're in the US) of Shatilov.

Elsewhere, a short-stacked Stuart Fox is out having pushed with {A-}{9-} and couldn't outdraw {J-}{J-}.

Le Sigh

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Sebastien Leclercq moved all in from the big blind over a raise in the small from Artur Voskayan only to be snap-called. The Frenchman did not look happy.

Leclercq: {K-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Voskayan: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The board came {7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and that was enough to dispatch Leclercq.

Loeser Loses Out

Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Manig Loeser has become our 33rd place finisher after he lost a coinflip against Gilboa Yossi.

Loeser shoved 91,000 with {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and was looked up by Yossi's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. Loeser stayed ahead right up to the river but the board double paird to counterfeit his hand and send him to the rail. The board read {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} by the way.
