Juanda to Chip Lead

Since taking his seat, John Juanda has been accumulating chips and is now sitting with 15,150 in chips.

Most recently, Juanda was called by an opponent with Juanda's board reading as follows:

{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} / {2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / {10-Clubs}

His opponent mucked and Juanda raked in the pot to send him to outright chip leader as we approach dinner break.

Lee Takes One From Sheikhan

Accumulating thanks to Sheikhan

Three players saw fifth street, but it would be Shawn Sheikhan that took the lead firing out 300 on both fifth and sixth street and was only called by Doug Lee.

Lee bet out on seventh with Sheikhan making the call with both player's boards reading as follows:

Lee: (X-X) / {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / (X)
Sheikhan: (X-X) / {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} / (X)

Lee tabled his {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Diamonds} which prompted a fold from Sheikhan. Lee's superior two-pair earned him the pot as he stacked up to 7,200, while Sheikhan slips to 2,200 in chips.

Ivey Dwindling

During Event 13 action
During Event 13 action
We have just realised that Phil Ivey is currently registered in today's tournament.

Still playing in Event 13 - $2,500 No Limit Hold'em however, Ivey sits with roughly 80,000 in chips and is one of the players still in action.

With a good chance at capturing his second bracelet for the series, and seventh overall, it is no surprise that he is letting his current 3,300-chips slide over this side of the Rio!

Anna Wroblewski has just been eliminated from today's tournament by Nikolay Evdakov.

Wroblewski started with {7-?}{8-?}{9-?} against Evdakov's {Q-?}{J-?}{10-?}. Wroblewski managed to make a pair of sevens, but Evdakov would also pair up with a queen to take the pot.

As Wroblewski headed to the rail, Evdakov chipped back up to his starting stack.

Flush City For Paluszek

James Paluszek found some action from an opponent with both their boards reading:

Paluszek: (X-X) / {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / (X)
Opponent: (X-X) / {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / (X)

When called on seventh street, Paluszek tabled his down cards of {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and the pot to move to over 12,000 and change.

"I haven't seen a player hit so many flushes!" commented a fellow tablemate. Paluszek just laughed it off and continued stacking his chips.
