Kings Good For Rousso

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso opened the action with a raise under the gun to 500 and found one call in the small blind.

The flop landed {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the small blind led out with a bet of 1,000. Rousso made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and again the small blind fired 1,000 into the pot. Rousso then raised it up to 4,000 and her opponent called, before both players checked down the {3-Spades} river.

The small blind showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} but Rousso got the chocolates with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. She's up to 43,000 chips.

Feldman Slips More

On the next hand after that last one where he dropped to 33,000 chips, Peter "Nordberg" Feldman was involved in another pot.

After a raise to 550 from a player under the gun and a call from a player in middle position, Feldman reraised to 2,000 in the cutoff seat. Both players made the call.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and action checked to Feldman. He fired out 4,000 and only the first player called.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and instead of checking, this time the first player fired out a bet of 8,000. Feldman released his hand and dropped to 27,000 chips.

Mizrachi Sliding

It has been a tough day so far for Michael Mizrachi. His level one woes have continued into level two.

With the board reading {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts}, Mizrachi check-called his opponent on the turn and river. The player tabled {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} for a flopped set and Mizrachi mucked.

He is down to 10,300.

Small One for Guillen

With about 3,000 in the middle and the board showing {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, a player in early position checked, and Angel Guillen -- winner of Event No. 32 ($2,000 No-Limit Hold'em) and runner-up in Event No. 13 ($2,500 No-Limit Hold'em) -- sat quietly behind his dark sunglasses for several moments before saying he checked, too.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. This time when it was checked to Guillen he bet 1,500, and his opponent folded. Guillen is at 29,000, just below the starting stack.

Surinder Sunar checked the flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to see his opponent fire out 1,200. Sunar then moved all in for his last 3,075 and his opponent made the call.

Sunar: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The turn fell the {5-Clubs} and river the {Q-Spades} to see Sunar double to 8,500 in chips through his flopped set that turned into a full house.

Wong Doubles

We're not sure if Steve Wong was all in before the flop or after, but he was able to earn a much-needed double up to 12,200 just a few moments ago.

Wong held {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} against his opponent's {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} on a board of {Q-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts}.

Dealer Exposes Filth

A minor controversy, as a gentleman tried to flash a single card with the hand completed, only for the dealer to show the table his other one too.

What his his other card being, obviously, complete filth, the floor was called and it was ruled that the dealer had a made a mistake in showing the second card. He apologized, but we are left with one extremely humorless gentleman at that table...

Wong Place, Right Time

A few more chips for Steve Wong as he made it to the turn of a {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} board in a four-way pot.

The gentleman in the big blind bet out 500 and Wong was the only caller. An ace on the river and Mr. Big Blind checked to Wong who bet 1,050. A fold later, and the pot was Wong's putting him up to over 13,000.
