Royal Battle

MarcC

John Monnette made a standard raise before an opponent three bet to 17,000. Monnette four bet shoved for 65,000 and his opponent made a quick call with {Q-Diamonds}

. He was in bad shape though as John Monnette tabled {K-Clubs}

.

The board came {A-Spades}

to safely see Monnette up to 110,000, no such fate for his busted opponent though.

Mandy Baked!

[user76023]

Amanda Baker is down to just 10,000 after getting straight-flushed. She bet 6,000 on the turn of a {2-Diamonds}

and was called. On the {A-Diamonds}

river she check-called 12,800 only to be shown {5-Diamonds}

for the absolute nuts. With blinds about to go 1,000/2,000 in ten minutes, it's surely push or fold time.

Level: 14

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Ante: 300

Boeree Busto!

Liv Boeree is out after she pushed over the top for 17,000 with {9-Clubs}

against an early position raise to 5,000. The raiser made the call with {A-Hearts}

and won the flip against her when the board came {A-Clubs}

.

Mi-Gone

[user76023]

Bryan Micon is out after pushing {J-?}

from the cutoff but got looked up by one of the blinds who was holding {A-?}

.

Jonathan Tamayo and Tony Ma have also been eliminated.

JC Tran is a raising machine right now but he has a few big stacks at his table so some caution is needed too. In this hand he raised up from mid-position and found a caller from the big blind before the flop came down {7-Spades}

. It was checked to Tran who bet 5,000, call. The turn {10-Spades}

saw the BB check-raise Tran’s bet to 30,000. Tran called before they both checked the {10-Spades}

river.

Tran on 175,000 after, whereas the BB player, Zach Melaney’s up to 260,000.

Powell...Or Possibly Not

[user76023]

The debate on table 183 in the Brasilia room is whether Jack Powell looks like the actor Paul Dano, best known from Little Miss Sunshine and There Will Be Blood.

Make up your own minds...

Death Match

MarcC

Eric Mizrachi and another short stack just did battle to the death. There was a raise all-in before Mizrachi moved in too for a little more. Everyone else folded so we were at showdown. Mizrachi had his adversary dominated with {A-Diamonds}
