Terry-ble Outcome for Stewart

Weiler - chip monster
Weiler - chip monster
Terry Stewart has lost a pretty chunky pot to chip leader Zackary Weiler, recently moved to his table.

They saw an {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {K-Spades} flop and Weiler checked. Stewart bet 10,000, Weiler made it 26,000, and Stewart called.

Both player checked the {3-Spades} turn and the {3-Clubs} river Weiler bet out 40,000. Stewart considered his options for a long time. "You have a king?" enquired Weiler. He didn't, but eventually he made the call.

Stewart: {8-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Weiler: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}

Stewart is down to 132,000, while Weiler increases his stack to 375,000.

I'm All Lin

Lawrence Lin pushed all in with {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} for 35,000 total to a 10,000 raise from Aaron Kweskin, and Kweskin called with {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}. Looking good.

But oh, the board: {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Out goes Lin in 110th place.

The Pope is Dead

Phil Hellmuth raised to 7,000 from the cutoff only for Tommy Pope to push for his last 40,000 or so from the big blind. A call, an outdraw, and Pope is gone, while Hellmuth is up to 135,000.

Pope: {A-?} {K-?}
Hellmuth: {A-?} {Q-?}

Board: {10-?} {10-?} {Q-?} X X

Franklin Takes a Hit

Captain Tom not happy
Captain Tom not happy
Jason Mercier raised to 5,900 and both Tom Franklin and another player in the big blind called.

They saw a {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop and it checked to Franklin on the button who bet 11,000. The gent on the bog blind immediately moved in for 59,300 total and Mercier got out of there quickly; Franklin, however, took his time before folding pocket {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} up. His opponent rewarded him by showing him {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the flopped flush.

Franklin down to 36,000.

Shedd Busts

Phil Hellmuth is on fire -- he's up 155,000 after knocking out Cody Shedd. In a three-way limped pot, Hellmuth bet 4,000 on a {5-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} flop. Shedd raised all in for around 25,000, the other guy folded, and and Hellmuth called.

Hellmuth: {6-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Shedd: {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Turn: {2-Hearts}
River: {A-Diamonds}

Mercier Steams Ahead

Yikes, a monster pot here.

Jason Mercier raised to 5,900, only for Patrick Stemper to make it 14,800. Mercier tanked for a while, before making it 39,100. Stemper moved all in -- and Mercier snap-called for his last 171,900.

Mercier: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Stemper: {K-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

Flop: {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Mercier still ahead.

Turn: {J-Clubs}

Wah! Stemper hit his jack! Mercier stood up to leave.

River: {10-Hearts} !

"He made a straight," said someone, entirely unnecessarily. Mercier is up to 349,800, while former chip leader Stemper is down to just 33,000.

And They're Back

Whether players dined at the Poker Kitchen or, like some of the luckier bloggers, managed to make it over to the Rio for prime rib, cards are back in the air and the carnage continues.
