Player out

There were a series of bets and raises pre flop before Davood Mehrmand final few chips went in on a flop showing {5-Spades} {3-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. His oppopent in the hand was Tom Slater and he made the all-in call holding {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} out flopping Davood's {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}. The turn came {3-Spades} and river {K-Hearts} to send Davood to the rail just before the break.

Wroblewski Doubles Through Point

Anna Wroblewski has just doubled up to ~16,000 in chips courtesy of Stephanie Point.

Point opened the pot with a pre-flop raise and Wroblewski answered with a raise of her own; Point just called.

The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} and Anna led out with a bet; Stephanie made the call. The {5-Hearts} came on the turn and the action went bet (Anna), raise (Point), re-raise all in (Anna), call (Point).

At the showdown, Anna tabled {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and for whatever reason, Point never showed her cards. The {7-Hearts} was the last card to fall off the deck and Point took one last look at her hand before tossing it face down towards the dealer, surrendering the hand to Wroblewski, who now sits with approximately 16,000 in chips heading into the break.

Anna's Short

Anna Wroblewski is down to 8,000 after losing a pot to Gary Bogdanski. There was betting on every street on a board of {2-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} but Anna mucked once she saw Gary's {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}.

Nice River

Marwan Abdelal raises from under the gun and only finds a call from Mitchell Martin in the big blind before the flop brings {10-Spades} {Q-Spades} {3-Clubs}. Mitchell check calls a bet from Marwan before the turn delivers a {6-Diamonds}. Mitchell leads out this time with a bet that Marwan calls in an instant before the river is revealed as {7-Hearts}. Mitchell bets once more and receives a call once more. Mitchell flips over {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} for a made straight on the river. The dealer announces a straight but Marwan stands, cards tightly in his hand, wanting to see for himself before reluctantly mucking his hand. Mitchell adds 12,800 to his stack.

No More Songs From Luske

I am sad to report that we will not be hearing any more poker songs from Marcel Luske in this event. With just a few hundred in chips Luske was all in with {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Luske was against Kevin Marcotte's {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and was unable to improve his hand. Marcotte's ace high won the pot and Luske was sent to the rail.

Pair Over Pair

All chips went in pre flop and the unfortunate Tsai Chen found his {J-?} {J-?} up against Larry St Jean's {K-?} {K-?}. The board bricked out and sendiing Tsai packing. The grateful Larry on 18,500 now.

Another Falls Short

Terrence Chan has knocked out Donna Varlotto. All the chips went it pre-flop and Donna was looking good with {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} to Terrence's {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. That was until the flop came down as {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades}!! Two pair for Terrence holds up through the river sending Donna to the rail in cruel circumstances. Terrence now on 36,000 in chips.

Chips All In on the Turn

The board reads.. {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. After a series of bets and raises Tom Savitsky and Steve Foutty get all the chips in the middle but it's Tom that's the all in player. Steve tables {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to Tom's {K-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} but the turn {8-Clubs} and river {4-Spades} change nothing meaning Tom is eliminated.
