Doerr Doesn't Cash

After a raise to 17,500, Eric Doerr moved all in for about 110,000. Action folded back around to the original raiser who made the call tabling {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. Doerr flipped up {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and was in need of some help.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} and just like that Doerr was sent packing, sending the tournament into hand for hand play.

Overton Climbing Back

After losing some chips earlier, start of the day chip leader Aaron Overton seems back in the swing of things. Action folded around to him in the cutoff and he popped it up to 11,500. The player on the button pushed out a three-bet to 27,000 and it folded back to Overton. Overton pondered for a bit before grabbing a handful of grey chips and making it 55,000 to go. His opponent made the call.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Overton sat thinking for about two minutes before pushing 44,000 into the middle. His opponent mucked his hand and Overton took down a nice sized pot.

Monica Doubles in a Flip

Conrad Monica's chip stack had been hovering around average or just below for most of the day. He moved all in preflop from the cutoff and Anthony Mayo called from the small blind.

Monica: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Mayo: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

The board ran {4-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and Monica doubled up with a runner-runner flush to get above average for the first time in a long while.

Action Slowing Down

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Action has seemed to come to a screeching halt here in the Harrah's Room as the dinner break looms. With a buffet voucher in the hands of every remaining player, the prospect of food may be the reason that play has slowed.

"How do I miss that?!"

Eric Vogelstein put in a raise preflop and was three-bet by Aaron Overton. Vogelstein moved the rest of his stack in and Overton quickly made the call.

Vogelstein: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Overton: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Overton was behind but found immense hope when the flop came {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Now Overton was on the hunt for any king, jack, or club to help him out. Unfortunately for Overton, the turn and river brought {6-Diamonds} and {A-Diamonds} respectively.

"How do I miss that?" exclaimed Overton, while Eric Koerr chimed in "You'd have got it all in if you saw the flop!" Vogelstein, on the other hand, excitedly stacked his chips, more than content with his double up.
