Jordan Dunks

Jordan Lightman just informed me of a hand he played just before the last break. He raised to 9,100 and found a caller in the big blind before the flop came down {K-?}

. It was checked to Lightman who bet 7,500, call. The turn {10-?}

was checked again to Lightman who bet 17,500, call. The river came {7-?}

and Lightman bet just 3,500 in the now sizable pot. His opponent shipped it in for over 50,000 and Lightman called with {A-Diamonds}

and his opponent mucked and left the table. That put Lightman up to 170,000 but he’s on 155,500 now.

AA for A

MarcC

A player in mid position raised to 15,000 before Jonathan Aguiar shipped it in for 57,000. MP called with {K-Diamonds}

but was way behind {A-Diamonds}

of Aguiar. The board came {10-Clubs}

to double Aguiar up to 121,000.

Jeroen Van Dam raised from mid position before a player in the high-jack moved in for 60,500. John Boyrazian then called, as did a player on the button for his last 24,500, and Van Dam came along for the ride for the last of his chips.

The board ran {5-Clubs}

, giving Boyrazian the main pot of 235,000 with {8-Hearts}

. The HJ guy is crippled after taking the side pot with {6-Diamonds}

. Van Dam is down to 160,000 after his {A-Spades}

failed to hit and the other player is busted.

board.

Mizrachi Doubles

[user76023]

Eric Mizrachi has doubled up from micro-stack to short stack, he's on 50,000 after pushing blind and finding he actually held {A-?}

but was called by {A-?}

.

No matter, a {7-?}

on the flop helped him out. It's an easy game.

Prescribing a Suckout

[user76023]

Jack 'Doctor_Fun' Powell is up to 230,000 after pushing with {A-?}

and getting called by {10-?}

. Powell hit both his hole cards at a vital point in the tournament.

Biggest Pot of the Tournament Induces Poker Coma

MarcC

Adam White was sitting on 9,000 a little over an hour ago; he now sits on a staggering 681,000 chips!

At the start of this hand he had 331,000 and raised it to 15,000 from mid position. Dung Ho, in the small blind, three bet to 45,000. White then four bet it to 145,000, and Ho moved all in. White snap-called with {A-?}

. Ho was in deep trouble with {A-?}

.

The board came {8-Diamonds}

. The stacks were so big a floor person had to come over to count them down. It took over five minutes to do this, and all that while Ho sat there in shock with his mouth open. Eric Mizrachi commented that he was in a "poker coma".

After the count, he was left with 60,000 chips but soon got them in with ace-ten only to be busted by a player who call with pocket sevens.
