Rush on Gould's Stack

Peter Gould limped from the button, a player in the small blind raised to 5,000, and Gould called.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The small blind bet 10,000, Gould raised to 25,000, and he was reraised to 77,500 total. Gould made the call, showing {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Meanwhile, his opponent had A-K-J-10 for the flopped straight.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and the river the {6-Spades}, and Gould lost half his stack. He's down to 82,500.

Full Tilted

Peter Gould, Roland de Wolfe and two others see a flop with 80,000 in the middle already.

It reads {8-?} {7-Spades} {5-Hearts}.

Gould moves all in and only de Wolfe hangs around with an all-in call.

Gould reveals {8-?} {9-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {J-Spades}.
De Wolfe reveals {K-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {2-?}.

The turn comes {4-Diamonds} and river {2-?}.

Gould takes down the big pot and is up to 155,000.

De Wolfe on the other hand is out.

Gould commented, "He must've still been on tilit from earlier."

First Grey, Then Black

A late position player bet out on a {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, David Grey bet 11,000, a middle position player reraised behind him, Frank Vizza repopped it from the button, and Grey pushed all in with his 110,000. Both players called.

Vizza had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a wrap draw. David Grey had {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for top set. And the third player had {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top two and a straight draw.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, giving Vizza the straight. The {5-Clubs} on the river didn't change things, and Vizza had eliminated two players.

On the very next hand, Vizza bet 9,000 on a flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Andy Black raised pot, Vizza reraised pot, and Black called with the rest of his chips.

Both had flopped straights. Black had {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Vizza {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but the {A-Spades} on the river gave Vizza a better straight, and Black was out.

Vizza -- clearly the new chip leader -- is still stacking all of those chips. We'll get you a count as soon as he finishes.

Not Jaffered

Jeff Kimber got his remaining 9,900 chips in on an {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs} board.

He was holding {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} for top pair but was behind to the {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} of his opponent.

The turn {J-?} saved him though before the river blanked. Kimber up to 30,700 now.

A Nasty Turn

On a board showing {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, Bruno Fitoussi bet 9,000, Jared Hamby raised all in to 29,000, and Fitoussi called.

Fitoussi showed A-K-10-9. He'd flopped a boat, and improved to nines full of kings on the turn. Unfortunately for him, Hamby held K-K-x-x, so that turn card had given him kings full of nines.

Hamby is up to 52,000, while Fitoussi slips to 18,000.
