Matt Lawrence, who has flown under our radar since removing his trademark hat after the dinner break, was just the beneficiary of a big double off Chris Conrad.
It happened when Lawrence opened for 5,000, Justin "Choctaw" Kruger called, and Conrad moved all in. Lawrence called off for 47,900, Kruger folded, and the cards were turned up:
Conrad:
Lawrence:
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down . Conrad paired his queen to take a commanding lead on the hand. The turn gave Lawrence a gutshot straight draw, and much to his delight, the spiked on the river to complete it!
When we arrived at Table 19, Jarral D'Andrea was all in for his last 48,100 on a flop of . Matt Kirby had already called, and a third player - who bet 10,000 - was in the tank.
"Ok," he finally said turning over . "I fold."
He sent his cards spiraling into the muck.
Kirby:
D'Andrea:
D'Andrea held as the turn and river came , respectively, more than doubling him to 115,000.
We just witnessed a sick slow roll over at Table 16.
It happened when action folded around to Brian Ray on the button and he shoved all in for 39,600. The small blind promptly folded, and then Lee Abramson peeked down at his cards and asked for a count.
"79,600?" Abramson asked before the dealer corrected him. "Ok, I call." Abramson, who didn't seem to understand the poor etiquette of what he had just done, then tabled . Ray, who was clearly disgusted, turned over and was eliminated after the board ran out .
Needless to say, the table, which included Drazen Ilich, reacted sharply. Some were in disbelief, while one simply said, "What a douche."
Players are now on a short break while the tournament staff races off the black T100 chips. When they're done, we'll play one more 60-minute level before bagging and tagging for the night.
Remember that slowroll we told you about not too long ago? We eluded that it may have been unintentional, but that might not be the case as you can see from Scott Friedman's tweet:
T.J. Cloutier opened to 12,000 in early position, Kevin Eyster called on the button, and Jonathan Bloyen moved all in for 36,000 from the small blind. A player in the big blind re-shipped, and both Cloutier and Eyster folded.
Bloyen:
Opponent:
Cloutier grimaced at the , claiming to have folded ace-queen, but he soon smiled when the turn and river came , respectively to give Bloyen a pair of kings.
"Good fold, T.J." Cloutier told himself.
Bloyen raked in the pot, and more then doubled to 110,000 chips.
"Cowboy" John Land and two opponents saw a flop of . One player led out for 12,500, another moved all in for 42,000, and Land raised to what looked like 90,000 or so. The first player folded, and the hands were tabled.
Land:
Opponent:
The turn was the , giving Land's opponent a flush draw, but the bricked on the river. Land's opponent was eliminated, while Cowboy raked in the big pot.
The very next hand, he limped in from early position and a player on the button moved all in. The action folded back to Land, who called and had the player dominated.
Land:
Opponent:
The board ran out , and Land suddenly has over half a million chips.
