Roland Takes Three-Quarters More

Another big pot ends on the river with Roland de Wolfe betting 180,000 on the river of a {8-Spades} {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} board.

Lellouche had called a check-raise on the turn before tanking and calling the river with {8-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. De Wolfe flipped {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {3-Clubs}, having been freerolling the flush draw on the turn. He still got 3/4 as they chopped the high and Roland's 2-3 took the low. Lellouche has lost more than half his stack now...

Ruiz Takes Chunk Out of Lellouche

Antony Lellouche raises preflop and Armando Ruiz calls from the blinds.

The flop is {3-Spades} {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts} and Ruiz check-calls a bet of 28,000 from the French chip leader. The turn is the {3-Hearts} and both players check. The dealer puts out the {J-Diamonds} on the river. Now Ruiz bets 84,000, and Lellouche makes the call before mucking when he sees his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} which scoops both high and low.

Roland Gets 3/4 of the Pie

Roland de Wolfe and Antony Lellouche managed to create a 92,000 pot preflop before they got it all-in on a {6-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Hearts} board. Lellouche had {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {K-Clubs} against Roland's {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {J-Clubs}. De Wolfe took the high with sixes and deuces while the pair of them shared the low with a live ace each.

De Wolfe is up to 305,000 and Lellouche has 460,000

Kenny Tam Eliminated in 16th Place ($14,889); Matt Lefkowitz Eliminated In 15th Place ($17,495)

Lefkowitz raised from the button to 25,000 and Kenny Tam called all in from the small blind. Antony Lellouche called in the big blind before setting Lefkowitz all-in on the {3-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {J-Hearts} board. The short stack quickly called.

Tam: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}
Lefkowitz: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Lellouche: {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

The turn {4-Diamonds} kept Lefkowitz in the lead but the river {K-Hearts} made Lellouche the nut-flush and he scooped the entire pot.

Clements Knocks Andy's Bloch Off

Scott Clements raises preflop to 16,000 and Andy Bloch defends in the big blind.

Both players check the {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop before Clements fires 20,000 after Bloch had checked the {3-Spades} turn. Bloch calls and then checks the {9-Clubs} river. Clements bet 40,000. Bloch tanks for a couple of minutes before calling, only to muck when Clements shows him {A-Diamonds} Js} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts}.
