Hunt Running Great

Thomas Hunt III has been running like a god since we started play 90 minutes ago. In a recent hand against Tony G, Hunt showed x-x / {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} on fifth street to Tony G's x-x / {A-Spades} {3-Spades} {J-Spades}. There had been a flurry of betting on fourth street, with each player putting in three bets and folding two other players that had seen fourth street. This time around, they both checked.

On sixth street, Tony G caught the {9-Diamonds} while Hunt caught the {9-Clubs}. With the better board, Hunt bet. Tony G called.

Both players checked the river. As Tony G peeked at his card, he said "Ahh, you win." Hunt opened {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {8-Hearts} in the hole, for a heart flush and an 8-7 low. Tony G flashed {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} before mucking.

Hunt now has 99,000 chips and is the far and away chip leader.

Violette Eliminated

No payday for Cyndy Violette today. She was all in after fourth street against Marvin Ryan and Barry Hartheimer. Ryan took the low with a 7-6-5-3-2; Ryan took the high with a pair of jacks. Violette had a good drawing board after fifth street, showing 6-6-8 with an ace and a deuce in the hole, but she bricked out and was bounced from the tournament.

Just before the break:

John "The Razor" Phan: x-x / {7-Spades}
Denis Ethier: x-x / {J-Hearts}

Third street:
The Razor raises and Ethier reraises. The Razor calls.

Fourth street:
The Razor: {K-Clubs}
Ethier: {2-Hearts}

The Razor checks. Ethier bets and The Razor calls.

Fifth street:
The Razor: {4-Clubs}
Ethier: {3-Clubs}

The Razor checks and Ethier bets. The Razor calls.

Sixth street:
The Razor: {8-Hearts}
Ethier: {8-Spades}

The Razor bets and Ethier calls.

Seventh street:

The Razor bets and Ethier calls.

The Razor: {7-Spades}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Ethier: {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades} (muck)

"Must be nice to be John Phan," the Razor says, as he scoops the pot. Ethier was busted on the very next hand by David Singer.

Arganian Exits in Anger

[user75032]

We did not witness the hand on which Dave Arganian was eliminated. We did, however, witness the aftermath. One section of the Brasilia Room is currently blocked off with chairs for a tournament that will start later today. Arganian viciously kicked several of the chairs over so that he could make a beeline for the exit, rather than walk around.
