Haley Check-Raises the Flop

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was 4,300 in the pot from preflop action as the dealer brought a flop of {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. William Haley was under the gun and checked to his opponent, Ray Villaman, who was in the hijack. Villaman put out a bet of 2,000 to put action back on Haley, who check-raised to 6,600.

Villaman went into the tank for over a minute, mulling over his decision before letting his cards go.

Ben Coulombe was also eliminated from the tournament at the same table a few minutes ago after most recently being seen with a stack of around 10,000.

The river came {4-Clubs} and Park bet 1,700. Wong thought for over a minute and put out a raise to 10,700. Park then thought about his decision for a few moments before sending his cards to the muck, resulting in Wong taking down the pot without showdown.

Kumar Wins at Showdown

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Jasthi Kumar was in early position and raised to 1,100. He was called by Ian Steinman in the hijack, Adam Demersseman on the button, and Glenn Miller who defended his big blind.

The four went to a flop of [6tdjh6c] and action checked to Steinman, who bet 2,100. Demersseman and Miller quickly folded, putting action onto Kumar, who called.

With action heads up, both players checked the turn {k-Spades} and river {10-Spades} to take the hand to showdown.

Kumar tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for jacks up and Steinman slid his cards across the felt to the center of the table, resulting in the pot being sent Kumar's way.

Glenn Miller raised to 1,300 from under the gun and was three-bet by Tony Hoang to 3,600 from his direct left. Action folded back to Miller and he called.

The two checked through to the river on a runout of {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Miller checked to Hoang one last time. Hoang bet 3,800 and Miller threw out a chip to call.

Hoang tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a pair of kings and Miller quickly sent his cards to the muck.

Meanwhile, Jasthi Kumar recently joined the field and has found his way to Table 41, occupying the seat formerly filled by David Brookshire. Adam Demersseman also has re-joined and has drawn the same seat he had prior to his elimination on the final hand before the most last break.
