Back to RailHeaven for Hansen

[user66118]

Danny Illingworth raised to 1,200 before the flop, and Gus Hansen re-raised to 3,100. Illingworth moved all in, and Gus called to put his own tournament life in the balance.

Illingworth tabled ace-king and it was another race against Hansen's pocket queens. An ace came right in the door, and Hansen could not overcome the deficit. He has been sent home early, and Danny Illingworth is moving on to the next round.

Dwan vs. Le: Dwan Takes the Lead

[user66118]

Nam Le has been tightening the screws on Tom Dwan, and he had about a two-to-one chip lead before this hand. We join the pot on the turn with the board showing {9-Spades}

. Nam Le checked and then called a bet of 2,800 from Dwan. The river card came the {Q-Clubs}

, and Dwan fired another bet, this time a more significant 7,600 chips. Le went into the tank for at least a full minute before making the call.

Dwan tabled {J-Clubs}

, and Le cringed and mucked his cards. After that exchange, the match has drawn back close to even, with durrrr actually holding a slight lead.
