Dan Dianni Crippled

[user40108]

We caught up to this hand on the flop. Most of Dan Dianni's chips were in the middle against a single opponent on a {7-Diamonds}

board. Dianni showed {A-Spades}

but was way behind the {5-Clubs}

of his opponent. He never caught up and the one time co-chip leader was left with just 5,400 chips.

Tran On the Comeback

[user40108]

Theo Tran just sent a player home when his {A-?}

held up against the {J-?}

of his opponent. An {A-?}

flopped for Tran and he now commands a stack of about 45,000.

The very next hand, two other players got all in, one held {A-?}

and the other had {J-?}

. It was deja vu as an {A-?}

hit that flop as well.

Time Expires on Tehan

[user40108]

Action folded around to Joe Tehan in late position and he raised to 2,000. The big blind made it 6,000 to play and Tehan came along.

The flop came {10-Hearts}

and both players checked. The {7-Clubs}

on the turn had the big blind checking and Tehan bet 4,500. After a quick call, the river came the {6-Spades}

. The big blind moved all in for 17,775. Tehan went into the tank, and a clock was eventually called. Tehan failed to make a decision before time expired and his hand was killed. The big blind took down the pot and Tehan lost 10,500 chips on the hand. He now sits on a stack of about 11,000.

[user40108]

Bill Gazes limps in from under the gun as did a middle position player and the small blind. Chris Weaver raised to 2,800 from the big blind and it was only Gazes who made the call.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}
