Carr-Down-Hill

Joe Carr-Hill raised preflop and Jae Hwang made the call to see an {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop. The action went like so:

Hwang - check
Carr-Hill - bet
Hwang - raise
Carr-Hill - shove
Hwang - call all in

Carr-Hill turned over a premium {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} - but Hwang turned over {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for a set. Carr-Hill failed to improve on the turn or river, and dropped to 70,000. Hwang doubled to 220,000.

Break Time # Many

What with all these pay jumps and color ups and whatnot, it feels like we've spent a good chunk of today on break. Nevertheless, this one is scheduled, so players have been duly ejected from the tournament area.

Back in 10 minutes.

Things Are Never Bjorin with Men Nguyen Around

"YES FINALLY," came the unmistakable bellow of Men Nguyen. He's not a big man, stature-wise, but boy has he got some lungs on him. "All you can eat baby," he continued happily.

We scuttled over and found that the cause of celebration was that he'd just doubled through Chris Bjorin with {a-}{a-} against {a-}{k-}; the board came down raggy to double Nguyen to a 280,000 big stack. Bjorin was left with less than 70,000.

"Hey, can you make him keep quiet?" asked tablemate Zvi Groysman of a passing TD, only half joking to our minds. "That's a bad beat for the whole table that he's got the chips."

Elpayaa Takes a Hit

Joe Playaa
Joe Playaa

Joseph "bigegypt" Elpayaa forced a short-stacked player all-in and had him dominated with {10-}{10-} against {5-}{5-}.

Unfortunately for Elpayaa there was a {5-} on the flop, and after blanks hit both the turn and river he lost the 110,000 chip pot to slip to 87,000 chips.
