Mortensen: {Q-Spades}

Tran:

Early Blow For Kagawa

[user67765]

Masa Kagawa has taken an early hit after doubling up Tony Utnage Jr.

Kagawa opened with a raise from the button to 3,500 before Utnage shoved over the top for an additional 18,700. Victor Ramdin deliberated in the big blind before making a reluctant fold (which he later claimed was {A-?}

), and Kagawa went into the tank.

With plenty of gambling chips in front of him, Kagawa made the call with {K-Hearts}

but found himself dominated by the {A-Hearts}

of Utnage.

The board delivered no surprises as it landed {6-Diamonds}

and Utnage doubles as Kagawa slips back to about 85,000 chips.

Hinkle Crippled and Eliminated

[user67765]

Danny Illingworth recalled to us a hand which led to Blair Hinkle being crippled and ultimately eliminated.

A player opened from the cutoff and Illingworth popped it up from the small blind with {A-?}

. Hinkle then shoved over the top of both with pocket threes, with Illingworth making the call. The board ran out {A-?}

and Illingworth caught the ace to leave Hinkle crippled. He was eliminated soon after.

and his 10,000 bet on the turn of {J-Spades}

. Tollerene check folded when Giang bet another 22,000 at the {Q-Clubs}

on the river.

Giang now has 57,000

Fricke: {9-Hearts}

Illingworth: {Q-Diamonds}

When the board ran {5-Spades}
