Gunning Down Chan

The board read {2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Lillian Chan slid out a 53,000 chip bet. Her opponent, Christopher Gunnarsson, went into the tank for a bit before finally announcing that he was all in for 200,000 total. It was then Chan who went into the tank for well over ninety seconds before finally calling.

Gunnarsson showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a rivered full house. Chan just shook her head.

"That's such a sick river," she said. She rolled over {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two pair.

"The good ol' one outer!" someone from the other side of the table chimed in.

With this hit Chan is down to about 250,000 while Gunnarsson is sitting around 600,000.

Potovsky Jumps Into Chip Lead

The aftermath of the following hand sent the room into a tizzy:

Mark Potovsky opened to 26,000 from early position and George Richards shipped all in over the top. It folded around to the blinds where another player moved all in over the top as well. Potovsky snapped and the hands were shown:

Potovsky: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Richards: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Potovsky's aces were able to hold, eliminating Richards and allowing him to double through the third player. He's now sitting on about 955,000.

Kellner's Ride Is Over

Earlier we tracked the wild ride of Kelly Kellner who was able to breath life back into his tournament when his stack rose from 20,000 to about 145,000. Since, Kellner told us that he lost a fair sized pot when his {A-}{K-} lost to pocket eights.

We came across Kellner all in for his last 41,000 to see if he could mount the comeback once more. His opponent from the big blind called and the hands were tabled to find the two racing:

Kellner: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop was {3-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Kellner was forced to watch as his opponent made two pair and jumped into the lead. The {K-Clubs} turned and the {A-Diamonds} rivered, spelling the end for Kellner's tournament.
