No Ciao To Giang Just Yet...

Chau Giang has just doubled to 50,000 after reraising all-in with {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and getting a call from {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}. The flop of {A-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} was bad but the {7-Spades} on the turn moved him into the lead. The {K-Diamonds} river changed nothing and Giang doubled through.

Jan Von Busto

Busted

Jan Von Halle raised from the cut off before the BB there-bet. Von Halle then four-bet all-in and the BB went into the tank calling with {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. Von Halle was shocked to see the strength of his opponent's hand as he revealed his {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}.

The board ran {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} to knock the Von Halle out.

Easy Game Sometimes

An UTG player raised to 5,000 before Jim Pammell moved all-in for around 80,000. It was folded back to UTG who called with {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} and was up against Pammell's {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

The board came {5-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {7-Hearts} to send Pammel up to 175,000.

The Goggles Are Off

Luke 'IWEARGOGGLES' Staudenmaier has been knocked out of the tournament. It looked as though he raised preflop from the cut-off and then pushed over the top of the button's reraise with {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, only to lose a coinflip against his opponent's {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} after the board came {A-?} {2-?} {8-?} {6-?} {2-?}.

House Keeps Out Flush

Three players saw a {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop.

Rui Cao bet 10,000 from MP and was called by Daniel Makowsky and the BB before the turn came {J-Spades}. All players checked to see the{J-Spades} river. Cao bet 40,000, Makowsky folded but the BB called all in with {Q-Spades} {8-Spades}. The flush no good though as Cao tabled {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for a full house and now has a 219,000 stack.

Kim v Makowsky

Hungry for chips
Hungry for chips
Daniel Makowsky has just bitten a chunk out of Kelly Kim. Not literally you understand more of a poker stack thing.

Makowski raised small UTG and received four callers to see a {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {J-Spades} flop. Kim the only caller to Makowsky's bet before they both checked the {9-Diamonds} turn. Then Kim folded to a bet on the {4-Spades} river and was shown {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

Kim on 90,000, Makowsky on 230,000.

Jon Done By The Turn?

Jon Turner called a reraise preflop and saw a {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} flop. His opponent in the big blind led out for 15,000 and Turner made the call before both players checked the {J-Spades} turn. On the {J-Hearts} river, the big blind bet out 30,000.

Turner looked painfully at the board and the remnants of his stack before electing to make the fold.

From Channing To Channout

I am not a happy bunny.
I am not a happy bunny.
Ben Bagamery raised preflop to 6,500 and Neil Channing moved all in behind him from the small blind. Bagamery made the call with {10-?} {10-?} and Channing flipped {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. A {6-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} board later and he was reduced to a short stack.

Soon after, he was all in again with {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} against Bryan Paris' {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} which binked an eight on the {8-Spades} {10-Spades} {2-Spades} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts} board.
