Singer on Life Support

Jennifer Tilly raised to 550 preflop and David Singer made the call. Both players checked the flop of {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. On the turn of the {Q-Spades}, Tilly bet out for 700 and Singer called. The river of the {A-Clubs} was checked around. Tilly showed {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and Singer mucked his hand.

After the hand, Singer moved down to 2,700 while Tilly moved up to 27,000.

No More Nobles

We caught the action on the river where Dmitri Nobles check-called the all-in bet from his opponent on a board of {2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. His opponent flipped {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a rivered full house as Nobles flashed {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the flush as he tossed his cards into the muck.

He was crippled and eliminated in the very next hand.

Robert Rosenblatt Doubles

Robert Rosenblatt just recalled to us that he has doubled up after slow-playing a set of jacks against his opponent's pocket queens. He now sits with about 10,000 chips.

Robert is from New York and also wanted us to pass on a shout-out to his kids on Father's Day. Great to see that even though Robert is hard at work at the tables, he is thinking of his kids back home.

Evelyn Ng Out

Evelyn Ng was all in preflop against Zelong Dong. Ng had {Q-Spades} {K-Clubs} against Dong's {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} . Dong flopped top pair and Ng a gutshot straight draw with a flop of {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs}. The board bricked out with a {5-Hearts} on the turn and a {6-Hearts} on the river. As a result, Ng was eliminated from today's event.

ElkY Spikes Set To Survive

Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier moved all on on a flop of {9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and was quickly called by an opponent who tabled {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} to have Grospellier in bad shape with his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Miraculously the {Q-Spades} spiked on the turn to give Grospellier the lead and the {A-Spades} on the river sent his unlucky opponent to the rail as Grospellier rakes in over 12,000 in chips.
