Slaubaugh Slayed by Elezra

It's hard to catch hand details over at the featured table, but we did see Cody Slaubaugh make an early exit.

What we could tell was that the board read {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} {6-Clubs}, and Slaubaugh was all in on the river. Elezra was right there to look him up with {K-Diamonds} {6-Spades}, and his two pair had Slaubaugh's {K-Spades} {5-Spades} crushed.

That's the end of the day for Cody.

Colin Hits and Holds

Most of the all-in bets and raises that are called in this stage of the proceedings involve two big hands colliding. With 25,000 in a three-handed pot, Bryan Colin moved all in for 11,675 more. The board showed {7-Clubs} {5-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and Colin was called by a player with {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Colin turned up {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, a combination draw that filled a gustshot straight on the turn. The river {9-Hearts} didn't change anything, allowing Colin to double up to 49,000.

Runner-Runner Good Enough for Baker

We imagine that Mandy Baker didn't necessarily anticipate her last pot developing the way it did. She was the only player to call a bet of 2,900 made by the small blind on a flop of {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}. The turn was the {10-Clubs}, which Baker took the opportunity to bet (for 5,000) after the small blind checked. That player called, then check-called another 8,000 on the {9-Diamonds} river. Baker turned up {10-Spades} {9-Spades}, a running two pair that bested her opponent's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}.

Baker is up to 44,000.

Rouhani Wheels Out

In a limped pot, Farzad Rouhani led out for 450 from the big blind on a flop of {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

One of the limpers made it 2,000 to go, and once Zac Fellows folded on the button, Rouhani made the call.

The turn landed the {3-Clubs} and Rouhani check-called another 2,000-chip bet from his opponent to see the {A-Hearts} land on the river.

Both players checked, and when Rouhani tabled {5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} to best his opponent's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, he scooped the pot while climbing to 26,200 in chips.

The Wind's Out of Vos' Sails

What an unfortunate turn card for Mark Vos. Vos opened for 500 preflop, then reraised to 6,000 after the big blind made it 1,500 to go. The big blind called to a flop of {3-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and quickly check-called another 4,500-chip bet.

Both players checked the {J-Diamonds} turn. When the river was a seeming blank, the {7-Hearts}, the big blind bet 10,000. Vos called with {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and was shown a turned set, {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Vos sighed and mucked, slipping to just 7,150 chips in the process.

Two Pair. Yes!

A player at Table 152 was all in before the flop with {6-Spades} {7-Hearts}, and Will Mietz made the insta-call with {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}.

The flop opened the door just a crack as it came {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {2-Spades} to get the all-in player halfway there. The turn would take away three of his outs though as the {10-Hearts} gave Meitz aces up. When the {7-Diamonds} hit the river, the all-in player's friend started shouting, "Yes! Yes! YES!!!" from the rail, failing to realize that his buddy's two pair was no good.

He was still shocked when his friend stood up and shook hands with the table, but aces up beats sevens up here at the Main Event.

Masa Mucks to the Raise

With 4,000 in the pot and the board reading {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades} on the turn, the action was checked to Masa Kagawa who bet 2,500. His middle position opponent threw in a check-raise to 9,000, and after a bit of a think, Kagawa mucked his hand.

Kagawa is down to 14,000.

Yang Gets in Gear

Jerry Yang raised to 700 from under-the-gun and got called in three spots, including the button and the big blind.

Action checked to Yang on a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and he bet 2,000. A player behind min-raised to 4,000 and the button and big blind both folded. Yang called and then bet 5,000 more when the turn brought the {3-Diamonds}. His opponent called.

The {3-Hearts} on the river brought another 17,000 bet from Yang and this time, his opponent tanked before folding. Before reaching for the pot, Yang said "I'll show you one," before turning over the {K-Spades}. He later claimed to have been holding pocket kings.

His stack now stands at 55,000.
