Flack Busto

Layne Flack was running so well yesterday and today. It took a complete cooler of a hand to suddenly end his tournament. Flack opened from late position pre-flop to 4,700. Andrew Lichtenberger was in the small blind and was the only caller to a {j-Clubs} {j-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop. He checked to Flack, who continued for 6,000.

Lichtenberger then check-raised to 16,000, with Flack unfazed. He called to the {4-Diamonds} turn, then moved all in over the top of Lichtenberger's bet of 26,000. Lichtenberger snap-called with a full house, {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. Flack had three jacks, {J-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. The river {6-Spades} improved both players, giving Flack a full house and Lichtenberger quads.

Lichtenberger climbed to north of 300,000 chips with that pot, then gave some back a few hands later. He has about 250,000.

Stein and O'Dwyer Battle

In a battle of late-position players, Sam Stein in the cutoff seat and Steve O'Dwyer on the button took a flop of {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Stein checked his action first and then O'Dwyer checked behind.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and Stein fired a bet of 6,200. O'Dwyer took a moment and then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {10-Spades} and Stein checked. O'Dwyer took his time before firing out 18,000. Stein mucked and dropped to 108,000 chips. O'Dwyer moved up to 165,000.

Hamilton Hurting

Lisa Hamilton found a good spot to get some chips in the pot. Her opponent opened all in from the button for 15,600. Hamilton called with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and found herself racing {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Hamilton flopped a flush draw to go with her over-card, {2-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, but never improved from there. The turn and river were both black cards, but they were spades -- {2-Spades} and {7-Spades}. Hamilton bricked out and dropped to about 20,000 in chips.

O'Dwyer Gets the Best of Stein

That "TV table" along the side wall, the table with Sam Stein, Steve O'Dwyer, Doug Lee and Bryan Devonshire, continues to provide interesting action. Stein and O'Dwyer were heads-up on a flop f {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. Stein led out for 6,400, with O'Dwyer calling.

Stein fired again for 14,600 on the {4-Hearts} turn. This time O'Dwyer raised to 37,000. Stein tanked for more than a minute, giving O'Dwyer a long, sideways glance before calling. He checked the {J-Clubs} river, then snap-mucked when O'Dwyer moved all in.

Case Queen Unlucky for Foulkes, Lucky for Stout

Matt "All In at 420" Stout is high on the hog after a huge pot at Table 46 propelled him to close to the chip lead. Stout played his hand extremely straightforwardly and caught a lucky break with a flop that hit him harder than it had his opponent, Ethan Foulkes.

Foulkes opened to 4,000 pre-flop, then called Stout's 11,300 re-raise. The two played the hand very cautiously on a queen-high flop, {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, with Foulkes checking deliberately and Stout betting 12,800 similarly deliberately. Foulkes called.

The turn was a seeming blank, the {6-Spades}. Again Foulkes checked. Stout doubled his bet to 25,600, then snap-called after Foulkes moved in. Foulkes knew immediately that he was crushed. Stout turned up {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and Foulkes flung his cards into the muck. The dealer retrieved them, opened {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}, then ran out the {2-Spades} river.

When the stacks were counted down, Stout had Foulkes covered. Foulkes is out, and Stout is up to about 225,000.

Madsen Busts Lawson

Ted Lawson eliminated
Ted Lawson eliminated
There was some confusion over on one of the tables involving Jeff Madsen and Ted Lawson. Madsen had made a preflop raise and Lawson said that he called, but meant to be all in. Lawson thought the raise was enough to put him all in, but it actually wasn't so he had chips left. Problem was, Lawson said, "I call," and then turned his hand over, revealing the {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. It was ruled that Lawson did only call and that he would still be able to play his hand, but now Madsen knew what he was holding.

The flop was then placed down {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Madsen moved all in. Lawson said, "Well, I guess you've got something now," and made the call.

"Not really, you're good," responded Madsen, turning up his pocket fours.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and the river the {2-Hearts}, but it wasn't any help to Lawson. He was eliminated from the tournament as Madsen increased to 75,000 chips.

Recent Eliminations

The seats formerly occupied by Justin Young and Andreas Hoivold are both vacant. With no chips on the table at those seats, we presume that both players have been eliminated.
