JC Tran-pling Over Table

JC Tran has amassed the big stack at his table and is using it to great effect, piling pressure on opponents.

In one recent hand he three bet an early position raiser from the small blind. The call was made but before the flop had come down Tran had put his opponent all in. The flop showed {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and the call all-in was made with {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

Tran flipped up {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. The turn came {K-Hearts} to give Tran Broadway but then he called for an ace on the river so they could chop. If you ask you shall receive as {A-Clubs} fell on the river to chop it.

Fricke-ing Good Call

A raise from Jimmy 'Gobboboy' Fricke on the button is called by the big blind. Fricke bets 600 on the {6-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} flop which the big blind check-calls. The turn is the {7-Hearts} and both players check.

On the {3-Diamonds} river the big blind pushes for 3,000 and Fricke makes the call after thinking for about 2 minutes with {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The big blind mucks and Gobboboy is up to around 12,000.

Full Tilting

Two Full Tilt Pros have just made for the exit. John Juanda got it all in with {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} versus an opponent's {A-Spades} {5-Spades} but a {5-?} on the flop was enough to end this one for JJ.

Next out was Gavin Smith. Holding {10-?} {10-?} versus an opponent's {A-?} {Q-?} he made a mistimed raise all in on a queen high board. He was called and busted.

Wasn't A Phan Of The Flop

John Phan is now periously close to elimination after calling bets of 2,000 and 2,500 on the turn and river of an {8-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} {9-Diamonds} board, only to be shown {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} for the flopped straight. Phan flashed the {K-Diamonds} as he mucked his hand.

Get it in Good

All you can do in poker is get it in good and hope variance is leaning your way. Eric Brewstein came along to tell me he did just that but was eliminated anyway.

It was a four way raised pot before the flop came down {J-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Brewstein moved in and another player called saying he'd give him a double-up and tabled {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

Brewstein's {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} was looking good through the {6-Spades} turn but the {7-Diamonds} river completed the flush and he was gone.

John's Phanished!

Phan or Phantom?
Phan or Phantom?
Looking around for John Phan is fairly tough as he seems to have disappeared from the tournament area.

Meanwhile Daniel Negreanu has just Twittered that he is out. {A-?} {K-?} against {K-?} {K-?}.

Small Part Of England

Despite the vastness of the field, the table draws throw a few curveballs. One such is that Andrew 'Tufat' Teng and Sunny Chattha, both of whom have won GUKPTs in the past year have managed to end up sitting next to each other. Both have chips and Sean Sheikhan is also present on the table.

Sheikhan -- 6,000
Chattha -- 7,200
Teng -- 8,800
