First Hand Back is Good to Matthais Neu

Matthais Neu raised to 8,000 from under-the-gun and was immediately re-raised all in by a short-stacked player. Neu called the additional 25,000 and the all-in player announced he had a pair, turning over {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Neu turned over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and the short stack could only shake his head as the board ran {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

Neu now has a stack of 190,000.

Jaka Will Enjoy Dinner

Just before the break Faraz Jaka collected a nice pot after firing a bet of 37,000 on the river on a board of {5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. His opponent paid him off and Jaka showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} to take it down.

He'll go to dinner in good spirits with nearly 300,000 chips.

Nenad Medic Sucks Out A Win

All the money got in preflop and Nenad Medic's pocket 10s were trailing his opponent's aces.

The flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} gave Medic outs, which didn't come with the {Q-Hearts} on the turn. The river was kind though, bringing the {8-Diamonds} and giving Medic the straight. He now has 165,000.

Bonding With the Board

Lars Bonding had been slipping back to the pack but he's just found a handy double up. The chips were in preflop with Bonding needing some love with his {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} going to war with an opponent's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The board provided for him when it arrived {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} to pair up his ace for the double up to about 110,000 chips.

Inselberg Crippled

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} a player in the small blind checked to David Inselberg who moved all in from under the gun for around 57,000 chips. The small blind player made the call for slightly less and tabled {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the best hand as Inselberg showed {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for ace-high.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river the {J-Clubs} and Inselberg was left crippled.

Isaac Baron Eliminates a Player

The player on the button raised to 7,500 and Isaac Baron made the call from the big blind.

Baron then check-called 15,000 on a flop of {7-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}, and both players checked the {4-Spades} on the turn. When the river brought the {5-Hearts}, Baron led out for 45,000 and his opponent tanked before finally shoving all in for an additional 12,000.

Baron called and showed {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for the flopped flush, and his opponent mucked. Baron now has 280,000.

Verrett Update

The shout box railbirds have been hanging out for a Steve Verrett update, and unfortunately this isn't one that's going to please. Your man has just taken a hit after running his {A-?}{Q-?} into an opponent's {A-?}{K-?}. The board bricked out and as a result he's down to 110,000 chips.
