Small Win For Chan

Terrence Chan opened with an early position raise to 700 and was called by both of the blinds. The flop brought {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and both players checked to Chan who continued for 1,000. The small blind folded but the big blind decided to stick around.

They both checked when the board paired with the {5-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Hearts} hit the river. A check to Chan prompted a bet of an unknown amount and Chan's opponent folded. Chan took down the pot and is at 15,500 in chips.

Kellner On a Rush

We caught up to find a monotone board of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Kelly Kellner was heads up in a pot and his opponent fired a bet of 5,000. Kellner casually tossed out a raise and made the action 10,000 to go.

"Deuces are still wild, right?" asked Kellner with a wry grin.

Eventually, his opponent decided to called and Kellner fanned {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a king-high flush. His opponent mucked and Kellner increased his stack to about 62,000.

Grondin Can't Beat Kings; Loses Big Chunk

We caught up to find Laurence Grondin engaged in a heads up pot with the board reading {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Grondin's opponent bet 10,000 and Grondin replied by announcing that she was all in. Her opponent called for his tournament life and the hands were shown:

Grondin: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The river bricked out for Grondin with the {2-Clubs} and she was forced to ship a vast majority of her stack to the player next door. She's now sitting on about 18,000.

Giesbrecht Gone

We caught up to find Sean Giesbrecht all in and at risk when he bet his last 5,950 on a board of {5-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. His opponent called and the hands were tabled:

Giesbrecht: {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Neither had a spade, but the king-kicker was bad news for Giesbrecht. The {5-Diamonds} and the {7-Clubs} completed the board and Giesbrecht was sent to the rail for the second time.
