Junglen Wins a Monster

Adam Junglen
Adam Junglen
On a flop of {Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Daniel Zink bet 650 and Adam Junglen raised pot to 2,850. Zink reraised, making it 7,400 to play and Junglen moved all in. When Zink called, the hands were shown.

Junglen had {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} while Zink had pocket aces and a diamond flush draw, which didn't improve when the board finished {J-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Sammy Farha Goes Broke

Sammy Farha moved all in on a flop of {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and got called by his opponent.

Farha showed {7-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and needed a lot of help against his opponent's {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}. It didn't come as the board ended with the {3-Diamonds} and {K-Clubs}, sending Farha to the rail.

A Full House for Ivey

We caught this hand on the river as Phil Ivey moved all in for 9,275 on a board of {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}. When he was called by the big blind, the hands were shown.

Ivey: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Three of a kind wasn't enough to sink Ivey's boat, and he now has 31,000.

Isaac Baron Wins a Side Pot and Loses Chips

We picked this up as three players, including Isaac Baron, got all in on a flop of {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

EP: {7-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Baron: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
BB: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}

When the board finished {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, the early position player made his straight, but lost to Baron's full house of eightss and threes and the opponent's house of tenss and threes. Baron's hand was good enough for the side pot, which left him just 3,300.

Tens are Good for Junglen

After Adam Junglen raised to 1,650 from the button, the small blind reraised to 5,600. Junglen called and we went to the flop heads up, where the small blind bet all in for 5,575 on a board reading {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Junglen tanked for nearly a minute before making the call and showing {10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for middle set. His opponent held {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades} and couldn't hit any of his 15 outs when the turn and river brought the {4-Clubs} and {6-Spades}.

Junglen now has 33,700 in chips.

Down Two

Two more pros no longer playing today's event are Jared Hamby and Jeff Lisandro, who both got knocked out a short while ago.
