Lichtenberger Snaps Turn To Double

[user80015]
[user80015]
Andrew Lichtenberger bumped it to 15,000 from the button before David Pham made it 46,000 to go.

Lichtenberger then pushed all in and was insta-called by Pham.

Lichtenberger: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Pham: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} would change little, but when the {J-Hearts} landed on the turn Lichtenberger soared into the lead.

The river saw the {9-Clubs} peel off as Lichtenberger doubled through to 510,000 as Pham slipped to 390,000 in chips.

Man on left took care of man on right.

Barny Boatman limped from the SB before Phil Ivey raised from the BB, Boatman then moved all in and Ivey called all in.

Boatman -- {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}
Ivey -- {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

The board ran {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}.

Ivey stood up and shook his opponent's hands before leaving for bed or Bobby's room. Boatman and [Removed:198] are heads up but they have decided to take an impromptu break before starting.

Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 15,000 from the button before David 'The Dragon' Pham made it 40,000 to go.

The flop fell down {5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Pham led out for 70,000 before Lichtenberger raised it to 200,000. Pham moved all in and Lichtenberger made the call.

Lichtenberger: {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}
Pham: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The turn dropped the {Q-Diamonds} to see Lichtenberger put a further lock on the hand, and when the river peeled the {7-Spades} Pham was sent home as Lichtenberger advanced.

Score Draw So Far

Pretty even between Boatman and [Removed:198] so far. The only real pot of note got all the way to the river with a lot of chips in the pot but ended up as a chop.

More of the Same

No big pot of note so far. Boatman won a pot of around 70,000 and then [Removed:198] just won one back.

He called a preflop raise from Boatman then led out on a {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {9-Spades} flop for 16,000. Boatman called but mucked to a 28,000 bet on the {8-Hearts} turn.

Caught a Gust of Wind

Boatman raised it up to 15,000 and was called before a {7-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {K-Clubs} flop came down. [Removed:198] check called a 12,000 bet, a 25,000 on the {J-Spades} turn and an 50,000 bet on the {9-Hearts} river.

Boatman tabled {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and [Removed:198] mucked. [Removed:198] still has a slight lead in this battle.

Level: 7

Jesse, our dashing dealer, wished both players luck and dealt the first hand.

Note: Dealer asked me to report him as dashing. Boatman wanted me to report the dealer bats for both sides!
