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.

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.

Remy More than Zero

Phil Tom raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Biechel Remy raised to 85,500 all in. Tom called with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} versus {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for Remy. The board was {K-Spades}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Remy doubled to 190,000, to 170,000 for Tom.

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.

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}
River {9-Spades}

Firestone is eliminated. They are three-handed at Table #4: Sirous Jamshidi, Elton Beebe, and John Monnette.

Action All Around

Biechel Remy
Biechel Remy
At Table #5, Eric Froehlich just crippled Gabriel Costner when his K-Q was good enough on a board of Q-2-5-J-J. Froehlich is up to 400,000, and Costner down to just 28,000.

Bill Blanda and Biechel Remy have had a couple of big hands against one another on Table #6. In the first, Remy took most of Blanda's chips when his {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} outlasted Blanda's {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Blanda got some back, though, in the next one, with K-9 versus K-6. Remy is up to 98,000, and Blanda at 33,000.

Gregg Turk Eliminated

Turk raised to 8,000 from the button, Bill Blanda called from the small blind, Phil Tom reraised to 25,000 from the big blind, and Turk reraised all in with his last 29,000.

Blanda, thinking the betting was over, open folded A-Q. Tom then made the call.

Tom {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Turk {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Turk already knew a couple of his outs were dead. The board ran out {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Turk is out. Tom is now up to 252,000 at the three-handed Table #5.

Boutin Bounced

Preflop, Greg "FBT" Mueller raised to 8,000 and Burt Boutin called. The flop was {3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Mueller checked and Boutin bet 17,000. Mueller called. The turn was {Q-Clubs}. Mueller went all in and Boutin called all in. Mueller had {A-Spades}{3-Clubs} to {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for Boutin. The river was {9-Clubs} and Boutin is out.

Mueller and Adam "Roothlus" Levy are now heads up. Mueller has 530,000 to 70,000 for Levy.

Beebe Bounces Jacob

Alex Jacob
Alex Jacob
Alex Jacob raised to 8,000 from under the gun, Elton Beebe reraised to 24,000 from the big blind, and Jacob called. The flop came {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Beebe pushed all in with his stack of 100,000. Jacob, with 85,000 left, made the call.

Beebe {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Jacob {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Jacob was in the lead with his queens, but he needed to fade the spade. The turn was the {A-Hearts} giving Jacob two pair, but the river brought the {5-Spades} and Jacob is out.
