Humberto Brenes Has Been Eliminated

Humberto Brenes joins the list of those recently departed when he was just eliminated by Patrik Antonius. The pot was raised preflop and the flop came down {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Brenes moved all in for his remaining 28,400. Antonius went into the tank for quite a bit before finally calling. The players showed...

Brenes: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Antonius: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

Brenes got no help and Antonius's flush was enough to win him the pot and send Brenes to the rail.

Ted Forrest Sends Another One Home

The board read {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. There was a player all-in and Ted Forrest was heads up with another player on the side. Forrest bet 5,000 on the river and his opponent folded. Ted flipped up his hand to make claim to the main pot. He showed {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs} for nines full of threes. The all-in player mucked and casually exited the tournament area. Forrest is very much in the mix, now working with 37,000.

Dan Harmentz Eliminated

Four players including Dan Harmentz and John Juanda limped to a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Everyone checked to Harmentz, who bet 3,200, John Juanda check-raised Harmentz all in from the big blind, the two limpers between them folded and after a long think, Harmentz called.

Juanda turned over {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for the nut flush. Once Harmentz saw Juanda's hand he instantly mucked. The turn was a blank, and the river was a jack, making Juanda a full house and eliminating Harmentz.

Barry Greenstein Eliminated by Marco Traniello

Traniello and Greenstein
Traniello and Greenstein
On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Barry Greenstein was all in and Marco Traniello called. Greenstein had A-J-10-4 for a double gutshot while Traniello flipped over {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river was the {K-Spades}. Traniello won with a full house as Greenstein headed to the rail.

As always, Greenstein took the time to sign a copy of his book "Ace on the River" for the player who busted him. He shook hands with Traniello before he headed to the rail.

A Fitting Nickname

Action folded to a middle position player who raised to 2,000. The button called, as did Jordan "iMsoLucky0" Morgan from the big blind. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Morgan checked, and the initial raiser bet 6,300. The button tossed his hand in and Morgan announced a raise. Morgan's raise was enough to put his opponent all in and did just that. The players showed...

Morgan: {J-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The turn card was gin for Morgan, the {5-Clubs} giving him four of a kind. There was no miracle on the river and Morgan is now at a solid 35,000 chips.

Andy Bloch Takes Down a Nice Pot

We caught up to this hand on the flop of {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Andy Bloch got into a raising war that ended with his opponent all in. Bloch showed 2-3-4-5 for a flopped wheel. He wasn't out of the woods quite yet though as his opponent had a higher straight draw holding 5-6-6-7. The turn came a {6-Hearts} giving his opponent even more outs, but the {10-Diamonds} on the river was the ultimate blank and Bloch now commands a chipstack upwards of 50,000.
