Chopped Fish

[user108095]

We caught this hand on the river as Andy Bloch and Daniel Studer were chopping up the pot and all of Darryl Fish's chips.

On a board reading {3-Spades}

, Fish showed {K-Spades}

while both Bloch and Studer held pocket aces in their hands, giving them each a better two pair with aces and nines.

Keiner KO'ed

[user25067]

Michael Keiner made his last stand with {A-Diamonds}

against Brian Alioa's {10-Clubs}

.

The board ran out quite brutally indeed, Keiner flopping the nut straight when the flop came down {Q-Hearts}

. The turn was a blank, the {6-Spades}

, but Alioa made quads on the river when the {10-Diamonds}

fell, sending Keiner to the rail just a few spots short of the money.

Kelly Doubles Through Klein

[user25067]

Newly minted WSOP bracelet winner J.P. Kelly just doubled through Loren Klein, who is currently one of the chip leaders. Kelly's {10-Diamonds}

cracked Klein's {K-Clubs}

, making a full house on the {Q-Diamonds}

board to double his stack to 49,000. Klein is still very healthy at 134,000.

Newman Has Aces Cracked; Hits the Rail

[user108095]

Clayton Newman had all his chips in the middle before he saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

with Noah Boeken and Mark Tademy.

When Tademy moved all in, Boeken folded and he was heads up with Newman for the rest of the hand.

Tademy: {9-Spades}

Newman:

The

on the turn made Tademy's house and left Newman looking for one of the two remaining aces, which didn't come when the {2-Hearts}

fell on the river.

Tademy now has 126,000 in chips.

Short-Stack on Short-Stack Violence

[user25067]

Robert Mason moved his short stack all in from the cutoff and fellow short stack Michael Keiner made the call from the big blind, having Mason slightly covered.

Mason {A-Hearts}

Keiner

The board ran out {J-Spades}

, Mason's aces holding up to double his stack to 20,000. Keiner was left with only 7,500.

Perhaps even more disgusted with the hand was small blind Gregory Aversa, who confessed after the hand that he'd folded J-J-9-8. He would have flopped a full house and busted both players had he called.

Majd Runs into Baron's Quads

[user25067]

Pouya Majd got his remaining 18,000 in on a {8-Hearts}

flop and Isaac Baron made the call.

Baron turned up {J-Clubs}

for quads and Majd was drawing only to running aces with {A-Clubs}

. The turn was the {9-Hearts}

, the river was the {4-Clubs}

and Majd hit the rail.

Lewis Leaves

[user108095]

Chad Layne limped from the cutoff and Jeff Lewis checked his option from the big blind before we saw the flop of {4-Clubs}

.

When Lewis bet 11,800, Layne raised an additional 13,900, which was enough to put Lewis in if he called, which he did.

Lewis: {9-Diamonds}

Layne:

When Lewis couldn't improve as the board completed {3-Spades}

, his day was done.

Vitaly Lunkin Eliminated

[user108095]

Vitaly Lunkin and Rami Boukai were the only two players to see a flop of {9-Clubs}

. When Lunkin pushed from the small blind, Boukai called and the hands were shown.

Lunkin: {A-Clubs}

Boukai:

When the

fell on the turn, Boukai made his full house. The {7-Hearts}

on the river was meaningless and Lunkin headed to the rail.

Joining Lunkin on the rail are John Davis and Hoyt Corkins, who have also been knocked out in the early going.

Level: 11

Blinds: 800/1,600
