Golser Triples

Under the gun Brendan Taylor raised preflopand Markus Golser called for his remaining 27,000 chips and was all in. Ali Eslami also made the call and we saw the flop come {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades}. Taylor bet and Eslami let his hand go.

Taylor turned over {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} and Golser {J-Hearts} {9-Clubs}.

The turn and river were no help to Taylor and Golser tripled his stack.

Right Back In the Game

Markus Golser is second to act and raises it up to 30,000. It's a raise into the big blind of Vinny Vinh who makes the call before the flop comes...

{10-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} Vinh checks to Golser who continues his aggression with a 15,000 bet. Vinh calls so we head to the turn...

{10-Diamonds} Vinh check calls a 30,000 bet from Golser this time and that only leaves Golser 6,000 back that goes in the middle before the river comes...

{8-Hearts} Vinh had called the bet before the river had come and he knew his {Q-?} {3-?} was no good against Golser's {K-?} {10-?}.

Golser now up to 170,000 chips. Quite a comeback in a short space of time.

Taylor Rakes a Monster

Vinny Vinh, Teddy 'Iceman' Monroe, and Brendan Taylor all came into the pot as it was capped preflop.

{Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} hit the board and both Vinh and Monroe checked to Taylor, who bet 15,000. Vinh raised and Monroe folded followed by a Taylor call.

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and both player checked.

The river was the {7-Hearts} and Vinh fired a bet across the table. Taylor made the call and turned {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} for a set of queens.

Vinh slammed his cards into the muck and claimed to have a set of sixes. With this pot Taylor is upto 480,000.

Vinny Loses a Few More Chips

In the last hand before the players go off for dinner break Jimmy Shultz raises to 30,000 from the button and Vinny Vinh defends his big blind by calling. The flop comes...

{2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} Vinh check calls a 15,000 bet from Shultz before we head to the turn...

{3-Spades} Vinh check calls a 30,000 bet from Shultz this time before the river comes...

{4-Diamonds} Once more Vinh check calls a 30,000 bet from Shultz.

Shultz turns over {8-Spades} {9-Spades} for top pair. 'Nice hand' comments Vinh as he mucks.

Vinny down to 342,000 now.

7th place finisher

7th place for $41,441
7th place for $41,441
Ali Eslami lost the first pot back after play to leave him with just 70,000 chips. He was sitting in the big blind the next hand and was facing an early position raise from Jimmy Shultz. He made the call before we saw a flop...

{4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} He bet out 20,000 of his 30,000 very quickly and called the extra when Shultz put him all in.

Shultz flipped over {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} which was ahead of Eslami's {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs} . The turn came...

{A-Diamonds} to seal the deal and eliminate Ali Eslami in 7th place.

Jimmy Schultz folded and Markus Golser called. The river was the {7-Clubs} and again Taylor bet and was called by Golser.

Taylor turned over {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} for two pair.
Golser tabled {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for the flush and the side pot.

Vinny Short Now

Vinny just lost a a good part of his stack to Zac Fellows after reraising him preflop and betting out on a flop of...

{10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Fellows raised it up to 40,000 that Vinh called before the turn came...

{9-Clubs}

Vinh decided to let it go though after facing a bet once he checked.

Shortly after he managed to steal the blinds before getting involved in a hand with Brendan Taylor and again laying it down on the turn after committing a lot of chips. He's down to just 65,000 now.
