"Sick Bet, Bro."

After a flop of {2-Spades}{A-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Will Failla checked and Adam Heger bet 2,300. Failla made the call and then checked when the {9-Hearts} came on the turn. Heger bet 4,800 and Failla called.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Failla checked for a third time and said, "Bro, I ain't on the flush draw." Heger bet 10,400 and this time Failla shoved all in. Heger mucked and Failla scooped the pot. Failla claimed to have held {A-}{9-} and increased his stack to 55,000 while Heger is down to 18,000.

Delgrosso Dumps Some Chips

Marcello Delgrosso made a small raise under the gun and was called when action foled to the big blind. The two saw a flop of {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} and both players checked.

When the {K-Spades} hit the turn, the big blind bet 2,500 and Delgrosso made the call. The {J-Diamonds} paired the board on the river and, once again, both players checked.

The big blind turned over {3-Spades}{Q-Spades} for a flush and Delgrosso tossed his cards in the muck. He is down to 34,000.

Black Loses a Big One

With a board reading {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and about 14,000 in the pot, Andy Black bet enough to put his opponent all in, which turned out to be 25,900.

His opponent made the call and showed {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. "Nice call," Black said before flipping over {A-}{K-}. The river card was a blank and Black lost a huge pot.

Black started the day as out chip leader with over 90,000. Since then, he has lost more than half his chips and is currently sitting with 43,000.

Railbirds Flying Away

Action has been pretty slow in the Blue Section of the Amazon Room. The field is limited to only a small number of recognizable pros, which has led to the rail being quite small.

In addition, there are a number of other tournaments being held in the room which are seem to be drawing th attention of spectators. This really isn't a surprise considering these fields include such names as Mike Sexton, Barry Greenstein, and Tom "durrrr" Dwan.

Clavet's Aggression Paying Off

We last saw Mathieu Clavet when he was rooting his friend Vincent Jacques on to a second place finish in Event #5. Today, both Jacques and Clavet have returned for another day of play.

Clavet's been taking an aggressive approach and has built his stack up to 44,000. In the last hand we caught, we saw him re-pop a 1,900 raise from the cutoff to 5,200. When both players checked on a {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Clavet decided to bet 5,100 when the {5-Clubs} came on the turn. His opponent mucked.

Deeb Gets a Boost

Shaun Deeb has built his stack to an impressive 44,000. He just took another couple of grand off an opponent when he fired 5,100 into a board reading {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. If Deeb makes a deep run it'll be a nice bonus for his wallet as he heads to the World Cup in a few days.
