Andy Bloch Doubles Up

A player in late position raised to 1,700 and in the big blind Bloch moved all in for his last 4,800. The original raised called, and his {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} trailed Bloch's pocket queens. Bloch stayed ahead as the board ran out J-10-10-4-4 and he doubled up to 10,000.

Big Draw Doesn't Pay For Tomko

Dewey Tomko found himself all in holding the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} on a flop of {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}. Tomko's huge draw was up against his opponent's pocket kings, with the king of spades.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Tomko failed to improve. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Tomko bricks out to be eliminated.

Johnny World Likes A-7

Howard Lederer
Howard Lederer
With the board reading {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} on the turn, Howard Lederer bet 3,000 from early position, a middle position player called, and John "World" Hennigan moved all in for 6,325. Lederer called and the MP player folded.

Lederer showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, but Hennigan was way ahead with {A-Spades}{7-Spades}. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Johnny World dragged the pot. After the hand, he was up to 18,800 while Lederer slipped to 11,300.

Bellande Eliminated

Jean-Robert Bellande moved all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and was called by a dominating {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

Bellande couldn't catch up on the flop of 7-7-T. The turn brought another seven and the river an unhelpful three for Bellande and Bellande has been eliminated after not being able to get much going this tournament.

Jamie Gold Makes the Hero Call...

With the board reading {2-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} Jamie Gold piled the rest of his chips into a single stack, stood up and with a big grin said, "I'm making the Kenny Tran call. I hope you're bluffing."

Maybe Gold was influenced by the fact that Kenny Tran was standing next to the table watching the hand unfold with Burt Boutin. Unfortunately for Gold his opponent wasn't bluffing--he held the {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for the wheel and Gold was eliminated. As Gold stood up from the table Tran said, "If that call would've worked out it would've ended up in my blog."
