Zach Still on the Attack

MarcC

Just before dinner break Zach Melaney took another sizable pot off JC Tran. There was pre flop action and action on every street, until we were left with a {A-Spades}

board. Melaney tabled {A-Clubs}

and Tran mucked. Melaney is the big chip leader now on 355,000, whereas Tran is back to 87,000.

Speaking to Tran during break, he insisted he’ll get all the chips back once they stop making hands against him.

Monnette's Squeeze Runs Out of Juice

[user76023]

John Monnette dropped to 13,500 when he squeezed against several limpers holding {6-Hearts}

– pushing all-in for 50,000. However one of the limpers called all-in with {2-Hearts}

and managed to win the flip on a {K-Spades}

board.

When You're Hot You're Hot

MarcC

Zach Melaney is continuing to run hot. He just eliminated a short stacked opponent when it all went in pre flop. Melaney held {K-Diamonds}

to his opponent’s {A-Diamonds}

. The board ran {5-Hearts}

. Melaney's on 366,000 as a result.

Who's the Mon?

[user76023]

And just like that, John Monnette has tripled back up. He pushed all-in for 13,500 and Jamie Armstrong isolated by moving in for 135,000 behind. Then another player decided to take a gamble and called all-in also.

Monnette: {A-?}

Armstrong: {A-Diamonds}

Third player: {6-Diamonds}

The board came out {Q-Spades}

. So Monnette tripled up in the main pot, while the so-called 'side' pot went to Armstrong, putting him up to 175,000.

McDown a Little

[user76023]

I approached the table when the flop was out {3-?}

. Calen McNeil and another player got all the chips in the pot and McNeil thought he was good with aces, but his opponent had flopped two-pair with king-six. The hand held and McNeil is down to 75,000 now.
