The Master

The Master
The Master

Men "The Master" Nguyen has just eliminated two players in consecutive hands.

In the first hand, Nguyen had Toto Leonidas all in preflop. Nguyen held {a-}{j-} and was racing against Leonidas' {8-}{8-}. The Master flopped two pair, and Leonidas hit the rail.

The very next hand Benjamin Spindler opened to 7,205 on the button and Nguyen called in the big blind. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Nguyen checked to Spindler who shoved for 36,000. Nguyen called.

Showdown
Spindler {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The turn and river came {j-Clubs}, {2-Hearts} respectively and Nguyen eliminated Spindler.

Graham With Da_Suckout

Chris "da_professional" Iacobellis had Matt Graham all in and at risk preflop holding {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Graham was well behind with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and after the flop and turn the board was {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

The {a-Spades} spiked on the river though, and Iacobellis was crippled down to 25,000 chips. He busted soon after.

Graham is now up to 135,000.

Charder Cracks Buchanan

As soon as the bubble burst, Shawn Buchanan got his 60k in preflop with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against Christian Harder's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Should have been good for a nice post-bubble double, but the {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop had something to say about that. The running kings that came on the turn and river made Charder a full house and sent Buchanan packing in 53rd place. Charder is up to 330,000.

Split It Up

David Singer and Craig Marquis were both eliminated on the same hand and will split the $10,171 for 54th place.

Ship the $85 profit.

Singer called a 6,500-chip raise in the big blind from Isaac Haxton preflop. The flop fell {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Singer checked to Haxton who moved all in for effectively 28,000. Singer called.

Showdown
Haxton: {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Singer: {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Singer was ahead until the turn brought the {j-Clubs} giving Haxton two pair. The {k-Spades} bricked on the river and Singer hit the rail.

At an adjacent table Marquis was all in and racing with {7-}{7-} against the {a-}{q-} of Joseph Ebanks. There was an ace on the flop and Marquis couldn't find an eight on the turn or river eliminating him from the tournament.

Now that the bubble is burst we anticipate a lot of action especially from the shorter stacks that limped into the money.

Double on the Bubble

Tyler Kenney was all in and at risk here on the bubble of Event #32.

Kenney was well behind Thomas Laumer who called him with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Kenney needed help with {a-Spades}{8-Spades} and caught up when the flop fell {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The turn and river were blanks, and Kenney doubled to 130,000 chips.

Laumer is left with 48,000.

Sass Speared by Devilfish

David Ulliot raised under the gun, and Alan Sass moved all in for another 26,300 from the small blind. Devilfish called with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, but Sass was way out in front with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}. "I don't care if I bubble with aces," Sass said. Well, obviously he was asking for it.

But maybe not. The {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop gave him a set. That was gonna be pretty hard for Devilfish to beat. But the {5-Clubs} on the turn brought a flush draw to sweat. And right on cue, the {6-Clubs} appeared on the river. With a runner-runner flush, Ulliot cracked Sass' set of aces and sent him packing two places from the money. With his elimination, we are now hand-for-hand.
