Noda Gets One Back

Recently, every time Jason DeWitt has won a hand, his railbirds have shouted "BOOYAH GRANDMA!" We're not sure why.

DeWitt was not involved in a hand between Michael Noda and Jorg Peisert. Noda raised to 125,000 preflop and Peisert called from the blind. Peisert check-folded to an all in bet on a flop of {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. He flashed {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} as he mucked.

Gilbert's the One Doubling Now

The short stacks are passing chips around while Jorg Peisert looks for spots to pick them off. Jason DeWitt opened all in from the small blind. Benjamin Gilbert was sitting behind 635,000. He looked down at {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and pushed his chips in. DeWitt was holding {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. The card in the window on the flop was the {A-Hearts}, but when the dealer spread the rest of the flop she found a {6-Diamonds} and a {J-Spades} to make a set of jacks for Gilbert. The rest of the board came {2-Spades} and {9-Clubs} to give Gilbert the double-up.

DeWitt is down to 520,000 chips and is now in the Dank Position.

Noda Spikes His Ace

Jorg Peisert has had an excellent run today, but even he is prone to losing to a thin draw. Peisert opened for 150,000, then snap-called after Michael Noda moved all in. Noda knew he was in trouble with {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}; Peisert showed {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. Neither player hit the {7-Hearts} {j-Spades} {5-Spades} flop, but Noda spiked an ace with the {A-Hearts} turn. He dragged the pot after the river fell {8-Spades}.

That lucky turn card increased Noda's count to 1.75 million and brought Peisert back to the pack with 3.255 million.

DeWitt Workin' Wit It

Jason DeWitt reraised to 375,000 after Michael Noda raised to 125,000. Noda was on the button and DeWitt was in the small blind. The flop came down nice and low, {5-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} and DeWitt fired out 350,000. Noda mucked his hand, showing only the {A-Spades} and the cheers of "Booyah Grandma!" rang from DeWitt's cheering section.

Jorg Peisert raised to 170,000 from the button. Next to act was Michael Noda and he reraised to 430,000. With action back over to Peisert, he four-bet by sticking a bunch of chips out in the middle. Noda then shoved all in and Peisert snapped. With the way Peisert acted, everyone expected him to roll over two aces, but his hand wasn't quite that good as he held {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. Noda held {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}.

The flop came down {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} and kept Noda in the lead. The turn brought the {10-Clubs} and nailed Peisert's hand. The river couldn't give help back to Noda as the {9-Diamonds} rolled off and he was eliminated from the tournament. Peisert pumped his fist and yelled "Yessss! Yessss!" as he walked over to slap fives with his cheering section who were applauding triumphantly. He's now up to 4,900,000.
