Steve Olek is Moving on Up

On a board reading {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds}, Steve Olek moved all-in and was called by a player who turned over {A-Hearts}{5-Spades} for two pair. Olek showed the {7-Spades}{9-Spades} for the nut straight and a redraw to a flush. The river was the {J-Clubs}, and Olek scooped up an 85,000 pot, putting him near the top of the leaderboard.

Getting Closer to the Money

The nature of short-handed play almost always leads to fast-paced, aggresive poker and the rate at which the field is shrinking certainly speaks to that. The tournament director has just announced we are getting closer and closer to the money.

Vos is No Mas

After doubling up to 3,600, Mark Vos won a small string of all-in bets, building his stack up to about 6,800. His run ended when he moved all-in with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and was called by {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, giving his opponent top pair, but he still had 12 outs to win the hand. The turn and river came {4-Clubs} {4-Spades} and Vos was eliminated.
