Longfellow Makes Short Exit

Karen Longfellow called a 12,000 raise preflop from the big blind along with Kenny Tam on the button from cut-off Brett Richey.

On the {K-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Spades} flop, it was checked to Richey who bet 30,000 and only Longfellow called.

The {9-Hearts} saw Richey set Longfellow in after she checked. She called off her stack with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-?} but needed a queen, jack or club against Richey's {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Clubs}.

The river was the {6-Spades} and she was eliminated. We're now on the bubble.

Still on the Bubble

No signs of anyone here busting just yet. Stewart Yancik and Andy Black were debating whether to ask that the blinds be raised until someone busts as it seems to be taking quite a long time for someone to be eliminated.

Lellouche Survives Huge Scare

A huge pot got played out between Brett Richey and Antony Lellouche.

The board was read {10-Spades} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} and Lellouche bet 10,000. Richey raised to 35,000 and Lellouche made it 55,000. This raising didn't stop and quickly they were all in.

Lellouche showed {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, but Richey showed a crushing {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {4-Spades} for a boat. Lellouche needed the {5-Diamonds} to scoop. The turn was the {6-Spades} and now Lellouche had the nut low draw. The river was the {8-Spades}, and Lellouche managed to salvage half the pot from somewhere.

Well...

Once the bubble burst, you might have expected a deluge of action, replete with exits all over the shop.

Indeed, you might have expected that.

And you would have been wrong, very wrong. Nothing has really happened in the last 15 minutes or so, it's all been very slow.
