Gank Time!

[user80015]
[user80015]
With around 600 in the pot on the {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop Brett 'gank' Jungblut check-raised his opponent's 350-chip bet to 800 out of the small blind.

His opponent called, and when the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn Jungblut fired for 1,025 with his opponent calling once again.

The river fell the {6-Diamonds} and Jungblet moved all in for his last 2,000 with his opponent making the call. Jungblet tabled his {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a flopped straight, and the double as he moved to 8,300.

One Year On

[user80015]
[user80015]
All around the Rio there are TV's for both the tournament clock and general TV.

Mostly used for recent sporting events a player in the Orange section jumped up, went over to the TV and fiddled round with the buttons.

Five channels later he had switched it to the 2008 Main Event coverage featuring the November Nine.

Although this may seem meaningless, Ivan Demidov has his back to the screen, and on numerous occasions has stood up to check out the coverage.

Maybe he has never seen it or maybe has watched it countless times, Demidov would sure love to match his breakout performance at this year's WSOP!

BananaThief Slips On His Own Peel

Australian young gun Aleks 'BananaThief' Brkovic has been sent to the rail.

Getting all his chips into the pot on a nine-high board, Brkovic was in great shape to double holding {A-?}{9-?} to his opponent's {9-?}{8-?}.

Fading the turn, the unfortunate eight would land on the river to see Brkovic exit to the rail just short of the first break.

Tran Doubles Todd

[user80015]
[user80015]
JC Tran has been cut back down to 6,200 after recently doubling up Eugene Todd.

All the money went in on the {A-?}{Q-?}{5-?} flop to see Todd out in front holding a set of Queens. Tran still had outs holding {A-?}{Q-?}, but would see none of them fall.

After the hand Todd began berating Tran stating that he was outplayed.

Tran then started up a conversation regarding WSOP bracelets with John Juanda which seemed to quiet down the Brooklyn-bred Todd.
