Assorted Chip Counts

Smith Gone

Before the break we found the remnants of a hand where Gavin Smith held {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against an opponent's {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. The board read {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Smith was forced to ship over a vast majority of his stack to an opponent. He was eliminated from play soon after.

Amin Has Heart...And So Does Everyone Else

We caught up to the table amid shouts and cries of phrases like "so sick." We witnessed a three-way all in a very heart friendly board. Surprisingly, every player had hearts:

Ahmed Amin: {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Player 1: {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Player 2: {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The board finished with the {6-Spades} and the {8-Clubs}, ensuring that Amin's queen-high flush was the best hand and allowing him to score a double knockout. He's currently sitting on about 41,000.

Chan On A Roll

We caught up on fourth street to see Lillian Chan heads up in a pot with the board reading {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Chan moved out a bet of 7,700 and her opponent went into the tank for about ninety seconds before finally making the call.

The dealer finished off the board with the {4-Diamonds} and Chan moved 25,000 into the middle which was a bet that was enough to put her opponent all in. He let go of his cards and she took down the pot, boosting her stack to about 65,000.

Mann Cuts Down Leeson

The board read {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and we found Justin Leeson check-call a bet of 4,300 from Jason Mann.

Fifth street brought the {4-Clubs} and Leeson tapped the table once again. Mann reached for chips and came out with a bet of 9,700. Leeson wasted little time calling only to see Mann show {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for sevens full of aces. Leeson slapped {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} on the table for trip aces and watched as a large portion of his stack was shipped across the table to Mann. Mann currently has roughly 68,000 in chips.
