Dwan Dusted

Tom Dwan
Tom Dwan

Tom Dwan is currently in the midst of playing three tournaments.

Rushing back to Event #30 during a dinner break he pushed his 11,000-chip stack with {J-}{8-} and picked up the blinds and antes, before doing it on the very next hand with {10-}{4-}.

This time however he got a call from an opponent holding {Q-}{8-}, and when a queen landed on the river, Dwan vacated his seat and headed straight to Event #31: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E.

Leah Slips

On a board of {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Spades} Mike Leah fired out a bet only to be shoved on.

After some deliberation, Leah made the call tabling his {3-Spades}{2-Spades} to be up against his opponent's {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The river landed the {10-Diamonds} to see his opponent double up while sending Leah down to 18,000 in chips.

Eights Good for Oliveira

Carlos Oliveira
Carlos Oliveira

Carlos Oliveira ended up all in on the {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and was called.

Oliveira tabled pocket eights and his opponent tabled ace high; according to Oliveira's words.

The turn card was a {2-Spades} and the river brought another deuce to see Oliveira move to 24,000 chips.

Jaka Slips

On a flop of {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} Faraz Jaka had his opponent all in for a pot of roughly 55,000.

Jaka: {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

With Jaka needing to hit one of his two-pair or trips out or a heart to make a flush, the {7-Spades} would fall on the turn to put him in the lead.

Unfortunately for Jaka, the river landed the {10-Spades} to see his two-pair counterfeited as he slipped to just 7,800 in chips.

Jordanou Gone

Australian high-stakes player Bill Jordanou just came over to the PokerNews blogging desk to give us some details on his elimination.

Having a stack of roughly 22,000 and facing a raise before him, Jordanou three-bet only to have his opponent four-bet all in.

Jordanou snap-called holding {A-}{A-} to be in great shape against his opponent's {10-}{10-}, but unfortunately for Jordanou the board would drop a ten to end his tournament prematurely.
