Girl Power

With the elimination of Lila Aviv in 90th place, Feng Tsai Chen is our last remaining female. She is doing well, currently on a stack of 290,000.

Garrett "Gbecks" Beckman Backdoors a Winner

The exact details are unclear, but Jerry Watterson was all in against Garrett "Gbecks" Beckman on a flop of {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {6-Hearts}. Beckman had {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and, although he missed his flush, he backdoored a straight when the turn and river came the {J-Diamonds} and {10-Hearts} respectively. He is now just over the 600,000 chip mark.

Mike Carson Passes 500K

All the chips went in on an {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} flop, Bob Yamaguchi holding {A-?} {Q-?} for top two pair and Mike Carson {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for the nut flush draw. Carson hit it on the turn when the {2-Diamonds} came down, and Yamaguchi couldn't boat up on the {7-Spades} river. That hand took Carson up to 420,000 in chips.

On the next hand Carson opened for 24,000, Yamaguchi moved all in and Carson called.

Yamaguchi: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

Carson: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} and Carson eliminated Yamaguchi. He's now up to 535,000.

Salazar: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {8-Clubs} and Wilson was eliminated. Salazar chipped up to just over 340,000 on the hand.

Michel Leibgorin Eliminated

Action folded around to Michel Leibgorin on the button and he pushed all in for approximately 40,000. Curtis Early snap-called from the big blind and rolled over {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}. Liebgorin was in bad shape as he rolled over {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

The board helped neither player and Michel Leibgorin was eliminated. Early meanwhile, is up to about 306,000 in chips.

Sebastian Segovia Recoups

We caught up to this hand on the turn. The board was showing {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and Ernie Crespo bet 30,000. Sebastian Segovia moved all in for 66,500 total and Crespo made the call. The players showed:

Crespo: {8-Spades} {4-Spades}
Segovia: {10-Hearts} {2-Spades}

The river came the {Q-Spades} and Segovia's tens were best. He climbed back to around 210,000 chips.

A couple of hands later, Segovia eliminated Kyle Bowker when his {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} outdrew Bowker's {6-?} {6-?}.

Segovia is now back in the mix with approximately 275,000.
