Two Double-Ups

MarcC

Not sure how Sidebotham feels about his double-up!

Firstly it was the turn of Panayote Vilandos to double through James Matz III with {A-Spades}

v

on a

board. This puts him up to 2,600,000 whereas Matz is down to 1,200,000.

Secondly it was the turn of Larry Sidebotham to double through Jeff Oakes with {Q-Spades}

v

on a

board. Sidebotham was cheered on by his raucous railers and is now on 1,250,000. Oakes down to 1,650,000.

Sung Rivers Huynh

[user76023]

Phong Huynh raised to 100,000 and Steve Sung reraised to 300,000 behind him. Huynh made the call and we saw a {J-Diamonds}

flop, Huynh checked and Sung moved all in.

After some thought Huynh made the call with {A-Clubs}

ahead of Sung's {A-Diamonds}

. The turn {4-Hearts}

couldn't save Sung but the river was the {10-Clubs}

prompting an explosion of noise from the crowd as the latter made the nut straight.

Soon after, Sung and Huynh sparred in another pot, this time blind on blind. Hunyh eventually moving all in on the river of a {K-Spades}

for 325,000 forcing Sung to give it up.

As of now, Sung is on 2.2 million and Huynh has 900,000.

All In Fest

MarcC

Phong Huynh raised to 150,000 before Josh Mammon moved all in from the next seat for 405,000. If that wasn't enough Nathan Mullen then moved all in for 900,000. Cue a long think from Eric Chhor in the big blind before folding what he claimed was queens. Huynh then folded what he claimed was pocket eights.

Mammon tabled {A-Hearts}

but he was behind to Mullens's {K-Hearts}

. The board ran {3-Diamonds}

to knock Mammon out in 13th place for $56,651.

Level: 25

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 5,000

Oddo Outta Here

MarcC

Danny Fuhs has just busted Andrew Oddo in a blind battle. There was a preflop raise by Oddo that Fuhs called before a {2-Diamonds}

flop came down. Fuhs called Oddo's bet before snap calling his all in bet on the {6-Hearts}

turn.

Oddo tabled {2-Hearts}

for bottom pair, but Fuhs had turned the nut straight with {8-Clubs}

to eliminate Oddo in 14th place for $ 56,651.

Fuhs flying on 1,800,000.

That's Ma Lot

MarcC

Steve Ma didn't manage to get back from that bad beat. He moved in UTG with ten-jack but was called by a player with ace-king that hit trip kings to bust Ma in 15th place for $ 56,651.

Battle of the Blinds

MarcC

It was folded around to Jamie Armstrong in the small blind who raised to 90,000 before James Matz III moved all-in. Armstrong called all-in with {A-Clubs}

and was in good shape against Matz's {A-Spades}

.

The board ran {5-Hearts}

. The three outer appeared on the turn to send Armstrong crashing out in 16th place for $44,801. Matz up to 1,450,000.

Crabtacular!

[user76023]

Kevin McColgan raises from late position to 80,000 and Phong Huynh reraises all-in from the button for a total of 394,000. It's passed to Stephen Ma in the big blind who announces call and McColgan is faced with a decision.

After two minutes, he makes the call with {A-Spades}

, Huynh shows {3-Spades}

and Ma flips {A-Clubs}

. Eric Chhor tries to touch fists with Ma for the good situation he is in but the latter refuses, not wanting to jinx himself.

The board comes {5-Clubs}

. A rivered trey sends some of Huynh's friends crazy with celebration, though he himself tries to stay calm.

Ma slumps in his chair, winning a small side pot against McColgan, the latter almost forgotten in the hand, is knocked out as a result.

Huynh has about 1,400,000 now.
