Scott Doubles Through Sullivan

Glenn Sullivan opened to 60,000 from late position only to have Brian Scott move all in for 204,000 total from the hijack. It folded back to Sullivan and he called.

Sullivan: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Scott: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board fell {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Scott's jacks were able to hold, securing him a double up. Sullivan, however, has now fallen to about 480,000.

Berglund Taken Down By Hagan

A short stacked Robert Berglund was all in and at risk before the flop against Mal Hagan. Berglund held {J-Spades}{10-Spades} and was looking for help against Hagan's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop was {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} and fourth street brought the {K-Spades}.

"Spade! Spade!" yelled Berglund, hoping to make his flush to stay alive in the tournament. Alas, the river was the {A-Clubs} and Berglund was sent home. Hagan is now sitting on about 710,000 in chips.

Forever Young-man

Jamie Youngman opened the action by moving all in for his last 170,000 before the flop. Shreeniwas Kelkar looked down at his cards from the hijack and moved all in over the top. The rest of the table folded and the hands were displayed:

Youngman: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Kelkar: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Both players paired up on the {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop but Youngman retained his lead with the pair of tens. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and the river the {2-Diamonds} ensuring a double for Youngman. Kelkar, on the other hand, has fallen to about 390,000 in chips.

Overdijk Gone; Collins Soars

Michael Collins opened with a raise before the flop and Day 1a chip leader Norman Overdijk called. The two saw a flop of {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{A-Hearts} and Collins fired a continuation bet of an unknown amount. Overdijk called and the turn was the {6-Hearts}.

Collins bet all in which was actually a bet for Overdijk's tournament life. Overdijk snap called and showed {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} for a flopped set of fours. Unfortunately for Overdijk, Collins held {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} for top set. The {2-Diamonds} finished the board and Overdijk was forced to settle for a 25th place finish.

Sekhon Increases Lead; Eliminates Majidi

Sonny Sekhon began the day as our chip leader and that is a title that he is yet to relinquish. Action folded to David Lim's button and he raised to 63,000 only to have Sekhon come over the top with a three-bet to 172,000. Afshin Majidi looked down at his hole cards in the big blind and announced a four-bet all in. Lim got out of the way and Sekhon called to find that he was racing with his opponent.

Sekhon: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Majidi: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board fell {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{J-Spades} and Sekhon's tens were able to hold. Majidi was forced to settle for 23rd place and Sekhon now has about 2.38 million.

All Or Nothing For Iampen

Lawrence Iampen has moved all in before the flop during 3 out of the last 4 hands played at Table 42. His tablemates are visibily getting annoyed with the strategy and have begun making comments about it.

"Everyone has a story," were the only words to come out of Iampen's mouth as he scooped up his chips by taking down all three pots. He's currently sitting on about 730,000.
