Robert Firestone Eliminated

Robert Firestone and John Monnette got it all in on a flop of {J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Monnette showed {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the flopped flush, but Firestone had a higher flush draw with {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Turn {4-Diamonds}

Remy More than Zero

Aoon after, Remy raised to 20,000 on the button and Bill Blanda was all in for 31,000. Remy called with {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} to {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for Blanda. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Blanda busted out. Remy is now up to 230,000.

Looking to Close the Deal

They are heads up on Table #3, where Greg Mueller has a huge chip advantage over Adam Levy. Levy just doubled up with A-8 versus Mueller's pocket deuces (an ace flopped), but Mueller continues to enjoy about a 540,000 to 60,000 chip lead.

West is Best

Tim West
Tim West
Tim West has just eliminated Gabriel Costner, and they are down to three-handed at Table #5.

Costner raised to 9,000 from the button, West reraised all in to 67,000 from the small blind, and Costner called with his remaining 55,000 or so.

West showed {A-Spades}{6-Spades} and Costner {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The flop was {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} and the turn the {2-Spades}, and Costner's tens were still good. But the {A-Clubs} came on the river, and Costner is done.

Biechel Remy Eliminated

Richard Kirsch limped from the small blind, then Biechel Remy pushed all in from the big blind. Kirsch made the call, showing {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Remy tabled {K-Spades}{6-Spades}.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and Remy is out.
