Good for Goodson, Bad for Korolev

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Alex Korolev has bitten the tournament dust. He raised to 63,000 in early position and called all in to a shove from Robert Goodson; his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

was well behind Goodson's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

, and stayed behind all the way down the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

board to send Korolev to the rail.

Goodson is up to 300,000.

Down to Four Tables

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

It looks as though we will be coming back early tomorrow -- we're within two hours of the 3am cutoff point, and we still have 36 runners, considerably more than can reasonably fit on a final table...

Justice Is Done... Eventually

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Here's an exciting one.

Jason Koon raised from the hijack, only for Jonathan McGowan to reraise all in from the big blind. Koon thought about it, and called.

Koon: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

McGowan:

{10-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

Flop:

{9-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

No change there.

Turn: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

Suck!

River: {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

Re-suck!

McGowan doubles up to 428,000, while Koon sinks to 195,000.

{A-?}

{3-?}

standing little chance against Chris Taylor's {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

. Out he goes.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Scott Hall raised to 27,000 under the gun and then called the push for 112,000 from Eddylee Martin in the cutoff.

Martin: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{4-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

Board:

{7-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

which changed nothing.
