River Tank

MarcC

Roberto Truijers raised it up to 57,000 from EP and was just called by Andy Seth on the button before the flop came down {10-Clubs}

. Truijers continued his aggression with an 80,000 bet that was called. They both checked the {6-Hearts}

turn to see the {3-Clubs}

river.

Truijers checked once more to face a 169,000 bet which was quite significant seeing as as he only had 230,000 left. After a long tank he decided to preserve it and fold. Seth then showed him {K-Clubs}

Falling Down a Manole

[user46392]

Mihai Manole is going to be in a bit of trouble when the blinds go up after the imminent break -- he raised to 52,000 from the cutoff, but Brian Fitzpatrick announced all in from the small blind to cover Manole, who folded with a sigh.

He's down to 270,000 now.

Ali Davoudi Busts in 16th Place ($25,347)

[user46392]

Alan Jaffray made it 50,000 from the cutoff, only for Ali Davoudi to push for 258,000 total from the button. It folded back to Jaffray who appeared to make some extremely complex mental calculations for a while -- before shrugging and announcing a call; his silly hat was removed for a moment out of respect for the all in player.

Jaffray: {A-Spades}

Davoudi:

Double Dutch

MarcC

Former chip leader Roberto Truijers open shoved his last 301,000 in preflop from early position before Alan Jaffray reraised to isolate from the button with {A-Diamonds}

but he'd run into the {A-Hearts}

of the Dutchman.

The board ran {A-Clubs}

to see Truijers' stack rise to 660,000.

Correa's Chips Go Over to McCaffrey

[user46392]

No sooner had Champlin picked up Correa's chips than he handed them to Glenn McCaffrey.

How it got to this stage is a little fuzzy, but with the board reading {A-Clubs}

Champlin bet 150,000 and it looked as though McCaffrey had a real decision to make. He huffed and puffed and eventually called -- and his {A-Hearts}

must have been good, as Champlin mucked and let him take the pot.

Correa Careens Out in 17th Place ($25,347)

[user46392]

Correa - can go back to the surf team now

It looks as though Roberto Correa open-shoved in mid position and Benny Champlin called in the big blind; either way they were on their backs preflop for Correa's tournament life.

Champlin: {A-Clubs}

Correa: in a spot of bother with {A-Hearts}

Board:

With a resigned nod and a quiet, "Good luck, everyone," we lose Mr Correa in 17th place.

Andrew Seden Eliminated in 18th Place ($25,347)

MarcC

To come in to a tournament with just over two tables remaining and a nice healthy stack fills a player with optimism but then you get get three-outered twice in two hands and all that it dashed.

Andrew Seden got the last of his chips in with {K-Hearts}

and was called by Ernst Hermans in the BB with {A-Spades}

. The board ran {8-Diamonds}

. The second three-outer fell on the turn and we're down to 17 players.

Hermans up to 640,000 now.

Seth Too Aggro For His Own Good

[user46392]

Overnight chip leader Andy Seth had dropped below 1.2 million, largely as a result of a curious hand which he laid down to a 175,000 bet from Alan Jaffray on the turn of a {5-Diamonds}

board. He then raised his button next hand and got the blinds, but when he raised his cutoff the hand after that, Ali Davoudi shoved from the big blind for 292,000. Seth passed with a sigh.
