Aces Fail Glantz

After an early position player limped in, Matt Glantz raised to 1,125 from one seat over. Action folded to Lynne Mitchnick in the big blind and she called. The limper, though, popped it to 4,425.

Glantz called, as did Mitchnick, to see the flop come down {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. A check from Mitchnick led to a bet of 10,000 from the limper. Glantz called all in for his remaining 8,675, MItchnick re-shoved with the biggest stack of the bunch, and the limper folded.

Showdown
Mitchnick: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Glantz: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}

The turn and river came {10-Clubs} and {Q-Clubs}, leaving Glantz's ace-high flush second best and bringing his tournament to an end. The limper was none too pleased after the hand, claiming he folded pocket jacks with the {J-Clubs}.

Perelman Finds a Taker

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,125, and Rob Perelman three-bet to 3,075 from the button. The initial raiser four-bet to 8,625, committing about half his stack. Perelman promptly shoved, and the raiser took pause. Finally, and with a heavy sigh, he plunked his final chips into the pot.

Showdown
Perelman: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Spades} {9-Spades}

The {9-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop was a start for the at-risk player, now looking for another nine or a seven to stay alive. He found the {7-Diamonds} on the river, but it was preceded by the {K-Clubs} turn, counterfeiting his two pair in advance.

Perelman is up to 51,000 as he stacks that knockout pot.

"Sica Bustin' Ass"

After seeing a raise and a call in front of him, Mike "Little Man" Sica three-bet to 3,250 from the big blind. The raiser folded, but the caller came along to see a {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Sica fired 4,450 and after about two minutes, his opponent called. The {2-Clubs} hit the turn and Sica bet 6,750. His opponent tanked again, eventually putting in the rest of his stack. Sica called and tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, leading his opponent's {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The river was the {9-Hearts}, securing the bustout for Sica.

"Sica Bustin' Ass," said Will Failla.

"Why can't people fold a hand?" asked Sica, as his opponent was walking away.

Ari Engel Suited

Level 8 : 250/500, 25 ante
Ari Engel - suited and sunglassed today
Ari Engel - suited and sunglassed today

Ari Engel just donated a small double up to the player next door in a preflop all in. Engel's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} was good enough to commit the 7,650 chips required to put his opponent all in. The at-risk player had the dominating {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, though, and the {8-Spades} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} {K-Spades} board kept him around for now.

Engel has been knocked back to about 33,000 with that little loss.

Huy Nguyen
Huy Nguyen

A player in middle position opened to 1,600 and action folded to WSOP-C Choctaw Main Event Champion Huy Nguyen in the cutoff. He popped it 4,200, sending the action back to the raiser. Atfer a few moments and an all-in shove, Nguyen called all in for 16,300 with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, leading his opponent's {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

The board ran out {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, safe for Nguyen and improving his stack to about 35,000.
