Filtz Felts Lucas

Eric Lucas
Eric Lucas
As the title implies, Eric Lucas has been eliminated by Justin Filtz, the latter leaping into second place with an impressive 225,000 in chips.

In a battle of the blinds encounter, Filtz check-raised Lucas's 6,000 bet to 40,000 on a {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop only for Lucas to repop all in for a total of 75,000. Filtz made the call.

Filtz = {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Lucas = {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

Turn = {Q-Hearts}

River = {4-Clubs}

Mercier Has the Goods

Two of our larger stacks have clashed, leaving one crippled and the other in contention for the chip lead.

All in preflop, Jason Mercier's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} was dominating Andrew Emory's {A-?} {10-?}, and absolutely nothing changed on the {2-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Hearts} board.

Mercier is now up to 218,000, while Emory sinks down to just 26,000.

Terry Terrorises Chen

With Todd Terry raising it up to 4,000 from late position, Bill Chen made the call from the big blind leading to both players seeing a {2-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop.

After Chen check-called 4,500 on the flop and 10,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn, both players checked down the {K-Clubs} river only for Terry to take it down with {K-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Chen mucked and drops to 60,000. Terry jumps to 77,000.

No Walk in the Park

Edmund Park has been eliminated.

Frank Rusnak raised to 4,000 preflop and Edmund Park made it 9,500, only for Ed Fernandez to bump it up to 34,000.

Whilst Rusnak ducked out of the way, Park was less accommodating, pushing all in for a total of 63,000.

Fernandez called.

Fernandez = {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Park = {7-?}{7-?}

Board = {5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}

Fernandez now on 180,000.

Costner Eliminated

Gabe Costner is no more. Holding {K-Spades} {J-Spades}, he thought it was his lucky day when he hit his jack on the {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} board. Leo Fernandez checked to him and he bet 12,000 from the cutoff -- but Fernandez raised him all in, and Costner called.

The jack wasn't as good for Costner as he thought it was -- Fernandez turned over {Q-Clubs} {K-Clubs} for the flush, and Costner was drawing dead before the {4-Hearts} river.

Floyd Eliminated

Russ Floyd is out. He got his chips in preflop with a classic {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} under the gun against the equally classic {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} of Scott Zakheim immediately to his left -- Floyd raised, Zakheim reraised all in, and Floyd called all in so they were on their backs.

Board: {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}
