Slow and Steady

Level 33 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Action has slowed as of late. In one recent hand though, we saw a little bit of action. With about 700,000 in the pot on a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Dave Neff fired 575,000 into Bob Chow. The latter asked for a count, discovering that Neff had 1.355 million behind. Chow thought for a solid minute before saying: "Alright, I'm going to fold my set of tens to you."

We might add that Chow was speaking with a joking tone.

Chow Takes a Pot from Ilitch

Level 33 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Bob Chow and Drazen Ilitch were heads up with the board reading {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {3-Spades} and Chow bet 325,000. Ilitch called and the river came {2-Spades}. Chow bet 525,000 and Ilitch called after a small hesitation. Chow tabled {A-Spades} {8-Clubs} and after Ilitch mucked he said, "I just can't beat you in a hand."

Dan Harrington (8th place)

Dan Harrington moved all in preflop and Drazen Ilich called from the cutoff. Ilich accidently exposed his hand before Erik Roussakis folded his big blind and tournament officials had no choice but to give him a penalty after the hand. The blinds released and they went to the showdown.

Ilich: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Harrington: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

The board ran {4-Spades} {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} and Harrington's ace never connected and sent him packing from the tournament.

Shawn Quinn Eliminated in 9th Place ($39,947)

Shawn Quinn (9th place)

Eric Crain opened for 230,000 from middle position and watched as action folded to Shawn Quinn on the button. He peeked down at his cards and announced that he was all in for 1.275 million. The blinds both folded and action was back on Crain. He let out a long sigh, flubbing his lips, and then took a drink, all the while contemplating the call.

"Well," he finally said, "I guess you could have tens. I call."

Showdown
Crain: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Quinn: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Quinn didn't have tens, but Crain seemed content with his live cards nonetheless. The railbirds leaned in close and watched as the flop came down . . . {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Crain had paired his lady to take a lead, leaving Quinn in need of an ace or king. The {5-Spades} turn was of no consequence, and neither was the {9-Diamonds} river. Crain came from behind to take the pot, while Quinn exited in ninth place.
