Howard Lederer Has Been Eliminated

Howard Lederer
Howard Lederer
Jorryt van Hoof raised to 5,500 under the gun and Ben Sprengers, Joe Monro and Howard Lederer (in the small blind) called. The flop came {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and Lederer moved all in for his last 37,000. It was folded around to Monro, who made the call with {7-Spades} {9-Spades} to Lederer's {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. The {7-Hearts} gave Monro more outs to go with his flush draw but it was the {J-Spades} on the river that gave Monro the pot and eliminated Lederer just before the break.

The board came {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} to give Hicks a pair of sevens on the river, which also gave Geyer a straight to the jack. Geyer's chip lead continues to grow, as he's now up to 390,000.

Geyer raised to 43,000, Makhija moved in for 130,000, and Geyer called, showing {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} to Makhija's {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}. The board ran out {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and Makhija was eliminated as Geyer raked in a huge pot that pushed his stack up to 300,000.

Stephen O'Dwyer Doubles Up

Jason Tikijian moved all in for his remaining 45,000 preflop and Stephen O'Dwyer moved all in as well, shoving 95,000 in total. No one at the table called, leaving Tikijian and O'Dwyer all in and heads up. O'Dwyer held pocket queens to Tikijian's A-10. The queens held up for O'Dwyer and he's up to 140,000 after the hand.

Jorryt van Hoof Boots Connor Allisen

On the button Justin Fitz raised to 6,200 and in the small blind Jorryt van Hoof reraised to 25,000. From the big blind Connor Allisen moved in for his last 15,000 and Fitz got out of the way.

Two rather modest hands were revealed-- {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for van Hoof and {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} for Allisen. The {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} flop gave van Hoof a pair and Allisen a straight draw, but the {A-Diamonds} on the turn and {6-Diamonds} on the river didn't help Allisen and he was eliminated. Van Hoof is up to 150,000.

Sarah Bilney Doubles Up

Sarah Bilney moved all in from the button for her last 14,000 and Robert Zoellner called from the small blind. He had pocket threes to Bilney's {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, but Bilney hit on the {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} flop and her hand held up as the {9-Clubs} and {10-Hearts} fell on the turn and river. She's up a bit past 30,000.

Patryk Hildebranski Eliminates Thomas Jean-Narc

All the money went in before the flop, with Thomas Jean-Narc's pocket aces way ahead of Hildebranski's pocket eights. But pocket aces haven't been holding up very well today and this was another example, as the flop came {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} and gave Hildebranski the set. Deuces fell on the turn and river and Jean-Narc was eliminated, while Hildebranski's stack grew to 170,000.
