DeBora Doubles Again. And Again!

Greg DeBora was back down to 20,000 when he got it in with {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Michael Mizrachi looked him up with {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, and DeBora was fighting for his tournament survival.

The flop was a disastrous {Q-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {3-Spades}, but the turn {A-Hearts} pulled DeBora back into the lead. The {5-Diamonds} on the river secured his double up, and he was back to 40,000 just like that.

A few hands later...

Matt Keikoan raised before the flop, and DeBora called to see the dealer put out {K-Spades} {7-Hearts} {8-Clubs}. DeBora got his chips in again by calling Keikoan's three-bet raise, and the news was not good:

DeBora: {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Keikoan: {K-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

DeBora was behind with bottom pair, but things turned around in a hurry on the {7-Spades} turn. That gave him trips and a hammer lock on the pot, and the {A-Diamonds} on the river secured his second double up within the orbit. DeBora is back up to 70,000 or so, and now it is Keikoan riding the dangerously short stack of just 40,000.

Baker's Ladies

Pat Walsh raised from the cutoff seat, and David Baker made it three bets from the small blind.

The two players took a flop of {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}, and Bakers follow-up bet was quickly called. That led to the {9-Clubs} turn, and Baker checked this time before calling one of Walsh's big bets. Both men check-checked the repeat {A-Spades} on the river.

Baker was first to show, tabling {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for aces over queens. That was good; Walsh mucked his way down to 315,000, and that pot boosts Baker up to 185,000.

Groysman Hits His Flush

On a flop of {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, Zvi Groysman checked, Matt Keikoan bet, and Groysman raised. Keikoan made it three bets and Groysman called. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Groysman led out. Keikoan called.

Groysman showed {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the flush and Keikoan mucked.

"I flopped a big hand, but it didn't look so big on the turn anymore," quipped Groysman as he stacked up his 370,000 in chips.

Kwon Moves On

Mark Klecan raised from the cutoff seat, and Christoph Kwon three-bet him from the small blind.

The flop came down {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} with Kwon betting and Klecan calling. On the {J-Diamonds} turn, Kwon bet all in for his last 4,000 chips, and Klecan put him to the test, turning up {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}. Kwon was drawing to six outs with {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, and the river {3-Clubs} was no help at all.

Unable to improve his overcards, Christoph Kwon is out in 22nd place.

DeBora Doubles

Matt Keikoan opened with a button raise, and Team PokerStars Pro Greg DeBora called from the button.

Heads up, the flop came out {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}, and DeBora fired out a bet. Keikoan called, and he called again when DeBora bet all in on the {A-Hearts} turn. Keikoan turned over {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} for the flush draw, and DeBora was looking for a double up with {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}.

The river was a blank and a safe rag for DeBora, and he's back up to 65,000.

Along with DeBora, Anh Van Nguyen is the only other member of the Team PokerStars Pros left in our field, and both men share a Canadian ancestry. We'll remind you casually, then, that this event was won by a Canadian last year (Greg Mueller) with another Canadian (Pat Pezzin) finishing as the runner up.

Minnullin Flops the Joint

Kyle Ray opened for a raise, Albert Minnullin three-bet and Ray called. The flop came down {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Ray check-raised Minnullin's bet. Minnullin called and they went to the turn which fell the {5-Spades}. Ray bet, Minnullin raised and Ray called. The river was the {7-Hearts} and Ray check-called one more bet.

Minnullin showed {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and took it down with his flopped straight. He's up to 190,000.
