Stay Out of Harman's Way

Preflop, a player in the small blind raised to 1,200 and Jennifer Harman made the call. On a flop of {4-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, Harman called a bet of 1,200 from her opponent. The turn fell the {J-Diamonds} and again Harman called a bet, this time in the amount of 2,000. The river fell the {10-Spades} and Harman's opponent fired out a bet of 3,000 and Harman again made the call.

Harman showed {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} for aces up and her opponent showed {A-?} {K-Clubs} for just a pair of aces.

Paul Loh Looking Strong

Paul Loh is still looking strong. When the flop came down {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts}, Loh called a bet from a player of 1,200. The turn came down the {2-Spades} and after some thought, the player checked to Loh. Loh quickly bet out 5,000 and it was enough to get his opponent to fold.

For his first WSOP Main Event, Loh is doing well and has built his stack to right around 90,000.

Karina Jett eliminated

Karina Jett was eliminated after moving all in on a flop of {Q-Spades} {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}. Her opponent called and showed pocket queens for a flopped set, while Karina held Q-5. Karina would need running fives to win the hand, which didn't happen, and she was eliminated.

Aces Hold for Micon

Hollllllllllllllllllld!
Hollllllllllllllllllld!
A middle position player moved all in preflop for 3,250, Dan Brown called from the small blind, Bryan Micon raised to 10,000 from the big blind, leaving himself 14,000 behind. Brown folded. Micon turned up {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} to his opponent's {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}.

"Gimme a nine!" bellowed the all-in player.

"No, no, no! Don't give him anything!" replied Micon.

"Don't listen to him dealer, don't give him anything," he pleaded.

The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {10-Spades} and Micon raked in the pot, increasing his stack to 38,000.

Ramdin Ousts Another

Victor Ramdin - event #25
Victor Ramdin - event #25
You wouldn't picture Victor Ramdin as the killer poker player he has been today with the niceness he has expressed at the table with his fellow players and chatting with the masseurs.

When the flop came down {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, the player who was in the big blind checked over to Ramdin and he bet 2,000. The big blind then moved all in for 8,100 total. Ramdin took a moment and then called.

Ramdin held {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} and his opponent had a flush draw with {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}. The turn and river came the {6-Hearts} then the {5-Diamonds} and Ramdin eliminated another player. He is now up to 108,000.

Mafalda Lopes Doubles

A middle position player opened the pot, a late position player reraised, Mafalda Lopes three-bet, the MP player moved all in, the LP player folded and Lopes called, turning up {K-Clubs} {K-Spades} to her opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}.

The board ran out {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {2-Spades} {8-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and Lopes doubled to 22,000.

After the queen landed on the river, the LP player told the table that he had folded {Q-?} {Q-?}.

If 6 Was 9

Josh Weiland, down to the super short stack, pushed all in with pocket sixes and found himself up against an opponent holding 9-9.

The flop came 10-8-7. Now Weiland was rooting for a nine, and his opponent a six (or jack).

The turn was a five, giving Weiland a few more outs. And the river brought one of them, a four, giving Weiland a straight.

He's still short, though, with just 10,500.

James Worth Stuck In the Worst Way

Preflop, James Worth raised to 800 and was called by both David Stuck and another player. On a flop of {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {8-?}, action was checked to Stuck and Stuck bet out 3,500. The third player folded, and Worth then raised 9,500. This prompted Stuck to reraise all in. Worth made the call.

Worth had {A-?} {9-?} and Stuck had {8-?} {8-?} . The turn fell a {10-?} and the river a {J-?}, and James Worth was eliminated.
