Jaffe Kicks Out Alvarado

JC Alvarado has been knocked out courtesy of Jonathan Jaffe. Jaffe was the preflop raiser, pushing out 2,500 chips. Alvarado called, and the flop came {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {3-Spades}.

Alvarado checked, and when Jaffe bet 2,200, he moved all in for 26,000. Jaffe made the call to put Alvarado at risk.

Showdown
Alvarado: {7-Spades} {9-Spades}
Jaffe: {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}

Jaffe had the best hand with top pair, but Alvarado had a myriad of outs to the win. The {2-Clubs} on the turn was a blank though, as was the {10-Diamonds} that hit fifth street. Failing to catch up and make a hand, JC Alvarado has been eliminated, and Jonathan Jaffe is moving on.

Hellmuth Gains No Ground

Phil Hellmuth called a raise of 1,800 chips before the flop, and he and his opponent played on the {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop. Hellmuth led out with 1,500 chips. Benny Spindler min-raised to 3,000, and Hellmuth called.

Fourth street was the {K-Spades}. Hellmuth bet again, this time 2,000. Spindler went into the tank, long enough for the Brat to poke at him. "I'm gonna show you a bluff as soon as you call," he said. Sure enough, he called.

The river brought the {A-Hearts}. Hellmuth checked this time, and the man across the table bet a healthy 7,000 chips. After just a moment to deliberate, Hellmuth called him down.

Both players tabled {J-?} {6-?}, and the pot was split down the middle.

Tom Dwan KO's Nam Le

Nam Le - Out
Nam Le - Out
Nam Le got himself all in before the flop holding {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, and he had two live cards against the {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} of Tom Dwan.

The board would be useless for Le though, coming out {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. With his wheel, Dwan has eliminated Nam Le and advanced to the second round.
