Yeh Can't Be Beat

Philip Yeh continues to get the right cards at the right time. With his opponent going all in on the dealer button. Yeh made a snap call with {A-Spades} {9-Spades} and was ahead of his opponent's {Q-?} {K-?}.

On the turn Yeh's nine filled in a straight, but for good measure he hit the flush on the river.

Yeh is up to 400,000 in chips.

Millionaire's Corner

Here in the Brasilia room we have a table that has started to lean. As the table break and players move to their new seats three of the biggest stacks have landed next to one and other.

Richard Alm, seat seven, has 520,000.
Benjamin Zamani, seat eight, has 460,000.
Harold Akiona, seat nine, has 320,000.

All totaled these three seats have 1,300,000 in chips. This is about the average total for any of the remaining 5 tables.

Chip For Chip

An all in preflop encounter just took place between Kevin Stammen and Don Zewin.

Stammen flipped over {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Zewin flipped over {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

The board was {9-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}.

The aces of Zewin hold to take the pot. When the stacks were counted down it emerged they had exactly the same amount!

Zewin on 135,000.

Preflop Raising War

In a hand that just occurred it seems four players had big hands. Justin Pechie tanked after a series of raises, calls, reraises and an all in before and after he called a raise. He said he folded two black jacks. Only one player called the all in push of Trevor Donaldson.

Donaldson held {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and his opponent {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} .

The board was {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Donaldson more than doubles up to 160,000.

I bet Pechie is glad he folded now!

Blind Battle

The small and big blind get it all in preflop when it's folded around to them.

Jeffrey Henry is the big blind player and he has the best of it with {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} versus his opponent's {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran {A-Hearts} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades}. The best hand stayed best at the end.

Henry doubles to 125,000.

Phil Him Up

A player in the cut off moves all in for 40,500 and the big-stacked Philip Yeh calls with {A-Clubs} {3-Spades}.

The all in player shows {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}.

All the way to the river we go:

{10-Clubs} {8-Spades} {4-Spades} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs}.

The flopped ten is good enough for him to survive.

Yeh back down to 360,000.
