Gray Walks the Line

Jason Gray got involved in a hand with John Myung and put his tournament life on the line. Gray called a preflop raise of 24,000 and the flop came {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades}.

Both players checked and the turn was the {J-Clubs}. Myung bet all in and Gray made the call for his remaining 25,000. Myung flipped {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and Gray turned {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

The river brought the {3-Hearts} and Gray doubled up. He now has 140,000.

Shark Attack

An early position raiser makes it 20,000 to go before Humberto Brenes moves all in for 44,000. Another player calls and the original raiser passed rather than see a flop for another 19,000.

Brenes tables {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} to his opponent's {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}.

The board comes {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}.

Humberto makes two pair and moves up to 140,000.

Back to Back Double Ups

Ben Zamani had just doubled up two players back to back.

The first recipient was Deb Blair who is now up to 345,000.


The second was Jason Duffy when all the chips went in preflop.

Duffy was holding {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} to Zamani's {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}.

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

The queens hold up and Duffy's up to 245,000.

Zamani stacks has plummeted to 190,000.

Zewin Won't Win

Everything is Not Pechie

Justin Pechie has just left the Brasilia room. He got all his chips in preflop with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and was called by Trevor Donaldson and his {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}.

The board blanked off {5-?} {2-?} {9-?} {5-?} {3-?} and Pechie was eliminated. On his way out Jean-Robert Bellande said "you played good kid. You couldn't have played any better."

Donaldson is up to 220,000.
