Shows the Bluff One Time

Danny Fuhs just showed a nice bluff. He raised it up and got three callers before {K-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades} flop came down. Fuhs bet 130,000 and only Heimiller called. When the turn came {8-Hearts} Fuhs bet 275,000 forcing Heimiller to fold.

"I'll show the bluff one time" said Fuhs as he flipped up {10-Spades} {9-Clubs}.

Fuhs on 1,500,000 to Heimiller's 1,920,000.

A Mammo(n)th Task

Josh Mammon started the last three tables as once of the short stacks with just over 100,000. But somehow now he's on to nearly 900,000.

The button raised to 67,000 and Phong Huynh made it 225,000. Mammon pushed for 170,000 or so more with the button quickly folding. Huynh made the call with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} but was up against Mammon's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} which held on a {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {2-Spades} board.

Most of the players are fairly deep now, it could be a while until we make the final table.

Play Slows

After a few quick eliminations play has slowed somewhat. That's not surprising, as the average stack has risen to around 40 big blinds which is fairly deep for this stage of a tournament.

Chip Leader Falls

Robert Comegys
Robert Comegys
Chip leader at the start of the day, Robert Comegys has been knocked out. He had doubled up Jeff Oakes with {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} vs {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} on a {10-?} {9-?} {5-?} board earlier and Oakes was to prove his assassin as well.

Comegys pushed with {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} and Oakes made the call with {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, the first three cards coming out were {A-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Spades} to leave the former drawing virtually dead. No help on the turn and river and we are now redrawing to two tables.

Don Doesn't Get Ze-Win

Grrrrr.
Grrrrr.
Don Zewin is out after pushing preflop with {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} and found Eric Chhor who had pick up yet another monster, {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}, in the big blind. A board of {Q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} later and Zewin finished in 20th place.

Injured then Killed Off

Jonathan Aguiar has become our 21st place finisher. He was crippled when he doubled up a player up who held {K-?} {10-?} to his {A-?} {3-?} and got there on a {Q-?} {J-?} {10-?} {7-?} {6-?} board.

Then he pushed with {J-?} {5-?}, but wasn't able to catch up after an opponent called with {7-?} {7-?}. He gets $33,491 for his troubles.

On the Up and Up Today

Why not smile
Why not smile
Dan Heimiller is up to 2,200,000 now after busting Jorge Barriga. It all went in pre flop as most of the hands are right now. Heimiller held {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} to Barriga's {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. All the way to the river we went {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds}.

No stopping this man at the moment. Barriga 22nd place finish get's him $ 33,491.

Another Faller

Aces will do it
Aces will do it
Eduardo Santi raised and then called the all-in raise of Eric Chhor with {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for him, he'd run into Chhor's {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. The board came {6-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} to cement the exit.

Santi get's $33,491 for finishing 23rd.
