Another Victim Walks The Plank

Italian Pirate
Italian Pirate
Max Pescatori has leapt up to 77,400 after giving another man an early bath. With his opponent raising to 2,200 under-the-gun, Pescatori made it 75,000 to play. His foe called.

Then, on the {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, UTG bet out, Pescatori raised, UTG pushed all in and Pescatori called.

Pescatori {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
UTG = {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

board = {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

A cold deck that would shiver the timbers of even the most fearsome of pirates.

Frantic Pace Continues

With 138 left and two and half hours remaining, this could easily be yet another event that makes it into the money within the opening day. Maybe it's the fact that we're six handed rather than ten, or perhaps there's simply something in the water, but the pace here today has been frantic with exits galore.

Foltyn Falters

Paul 'Pab' Foltyn is down to 37,000. When I joined the hand, Foltyn was facing a bet of 19,000 on a {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts} board. He eventually folded, adding "Tell them I folded middle set". I'm not sure I should publish fibs though.

Rollercoaster for Tahtouh

Emad Tahtouh has become the latest player to have their aces cracked today. He raised UTG with {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} , and it folded around to the small blind who raised all in for 17,000. Call.

Under the gun: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Board: {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

Tahtouh dropped right down to 3,400.

He made a bit of a comeback, tripling up to around 12,000 with {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} on a {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {A-Spades} board, but then got it all in with {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} against {A-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} -- the board came down {Q-Spades} {A-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and he was no more.

Shahar Extends His Lead

Alon Shahar has extended his chip lead to just under 150,000 in chips. He recently eliminated an opponent when his {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} turned a flush. Also well stacked with over 100,000, tablemate Tom Antonucci was going to raise from the button with {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but changed his mind at the last moment. He later regretted that decision.
