First Blood

On the first hand Gioi Luong limped with pocket fives, and Yuval Bronshtein called with{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Pete Lawson with {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}. The three players checked the {J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop and the {4-Hearts} on the turn, and when Luong bet after the {J-Diamonds} fell on the river Lawson decided to look him up. Luong showed his pocket pair and took down the pot.

A Better Spot

Jason Newburger raised with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}…and Pete Lawson woke up with 2 black Aces. Lawson re-raised to 85,000 and Newburger considered the situation for a few minutes before deciding that Ace-Queen wasn’t the hand he wanted to gamble his tournament life on.

Big Hand for Newburger

Jason Newburger raised with {J-Spades}{8-Spades} and Greg Hopkins called. The {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop gave Newburger top pair, and when he led out and Hopkins called.

The {J-Clubs} fell on the turn, giving Newburger top two, and his bet set Hopkins to thinking. Hopkins counted out the chips for a call, re-stacked them, and then announced a raise to 80K. That sent Newburger into the tank. Had Hopkins flopped a set, or made his straight on the turn? Jason thought a good long while before he announced all-in and pushed his chips into the pot. When Hopkins didn’t insta-call Newburger had to know he was good, and in the end Hopkins mucked his {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}.

Ray Coburn Is Eliminated in 8th Place

Running low on chips, Ray Coburn bet the pot with pocket fours, and Gioi Luong raised with A-K. Coburn called and the race was on. Coburn fell badly behind when the flop came {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades}, and when the {10-Clubs} and {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn and river that brought Coburn’s day to an end. He wins $22,894 for his 8th-place finish.
