Good for Goodson, Bad for Korolev

[user46392]

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

[user46392]

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

[user46392]

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.

{10-Diamonds}

Board:

Vartz-iance

[user46392]

Also busto is Romik Vartzar -- it was a clinical affair, his {A-?}

{A-?}

{3-?}

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

{A-?}

{K-?}

. Out he goes.

Well Hello, Eddylee, Goodbye Chips...

[user46392]

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}

{3-Spades}

Hall: well ahead with {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

Board:

{7-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

which changed nothing.

Martin is out, and Hall is up to 535,000.
