What Goes Around Comes Around

[user40108]

Just moments after losing a pot to Layne Flack, Tom Dwan took back those chips and then some. Here's how it went down:

Action folded around to Chris Ferguson on the button and he raised to 12,000. Dwan called from the small blind as did Flack from the big blind. All three players drew one card.

Dwan led out for 25,000 and got a curious call from Flack. Ferguson thought the better of it and threw his hand away. Flack showed a {10-?}

but was slightly edged by Dwan's {10-?}

. Flack tossed his cards in and Dwan stacked the almost 100,000 chip pot.

Dwan Gives a Little Back

[user40108]

After going on an an impressive run and taking a pretty substantial chip lead, Tom Dwan has started to give a little back. Getting involved in a lot of pots, Dwan has been playing his big stack aggressively with moderate success.

Dwan just tangled with Layne Flack in a pot that had both men drawing a single card. After the draw, Dwan bet 18,000 and after a quick call by Flack he said, "you win." Flack showed his {Q-?}

low and took down the pot.

Wolff Out; Redraw in Progress

[user75032]

Stephen Wolff has been eliminated by Erick Lindgren. He moved all in for his last 14,600 and was called by Erick Lindgren. Both players stood pat. Wolff never showed his hand; Lindgren's jack-six was enough to win the pot and send Wolff to the rail. Lindgren's stack increased to 380,000.

Now that we are down to 21 players, with 14 getting paid, a redraw for seats is in progress.

Dario Alioto Doubles Through Tom Dwan

[user40108]

Dwan stayed pat and Alioto took but one card. Dwan showed {J-?}

and Alioto rolled over a {9-?}

Grinder Doubles Up Binger, Then Busts

[user75032]

It was a tough couple of hands for Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi. First, he doubled up Michael Binger when Binger called Mizrachi's all in for 39,300. Mizrachi drew one; Binger stood pat with a 10-9. Mizrachi was drawing very live with 7-6-4-2 in his hand, but bricked up when he paired fours.

Shortly thereafter, he moved all in for his last 13,000 and was called by Dario Alioto. Each player drew one card. Mizrachi again had an excellent draw with 8-7-5-2, against Alioto's J-10-6-3, but again he paired up. Alioto caught a four to make a jack-ten and send Mizrachi to the rail.
