Spinella Sends Ivey to the Rail

With the flop reading {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Anthony Spinella bet 10,500 from under the gun and Phil Ivey three-bet to 32,000 from the cutoff. Spinella moved all in and Ivey called of his stack.

Showdown
Ivey: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Spinella: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, the river was the {8-Diamonds} and Ivey was eliminated from the tournament.

Spinella is on fire, now up above 350,000 chips.

Laumer Bests the Master

Thomas Laumer raised to 4,860 under the gun. Men Nguyen called from the small blind, and Toto Leonidas called from the big. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, and Nguyen bet 9,000. Leonidas folded, and Laumer called to see the {6-Diamonds} on the turn. Nguyen fired again, 16,000 this time, and Laumer called again. Nguyen gave up and checked the {4-Diamonds} river, and Laumer checked behind. Men showed {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but Laumer's {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} was good enough to win the pot. Nguyen is down to 110,000. Laumer is faring a little better with 128,000.

A Little Greener

When we reached Table 316, the flop was already spread {j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Lucas Greenwood checked from the big blind and Phil Ivey bet 8,500. Greenwood called.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Greenwood check-called 19,000 from Ivey.

Both players checked after the {7-Diamonds} rivered, and Greenwood opened {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. Ivey mucked and Greenwood was shipped the pot, chipping up to 182,000.

Ivey slipped to 140,000.

Bubble Approaching

The action is slowing down a bit as we're now one table away from the money. The final 54 get a piece of the cash, and $10,171 is nothing to sneeze at.

Bryn Busto

Bruno Lunais raised to 5,700 from the cutoff, and Bryn Kenny three-bet shoved on the button for a total of 37,100. The small blind folded, and in the big blind, Sanghyen Cheong called. Lunais folded, and it was time for showdown. Kenney turned over {a-Clubs}{8-Spades} and was in trouble against Cheong's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs}. That was far from helpful for Kenney, sending him to the rail. Cheong, on the other hand, is now among the chip leaders with 420,000.

Ellis Runs Into a Monster

Action folded to Helen Ellis who completed in the small blind. Anthony Spinella raised to 7,800 from the big blind and Ellis re-raised to 22,500. Spinella shoved and she made the call.

Showdown
Ellis: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Spinella: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The {6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop was a great sweat for Ellis, but neither the {7-Diamonds} on the turn nor the {8-Clubs} on the river was enough to win her the pot. Ellis slipped to 134,000 chips and Spinella chipped up to 232,000.

Pot for E-Dog

Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Taylor Mcfarland called on the button.

The flop fell {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Lindgren check-called 8,200. Both players checked the {4-Spades} on the turn.

Lindgren led for 14,000 after the {3-Clubs} rivered and Mcfarland folded. Lindgren chipped up to 260,000 chips and Mcfarland is still very healthy with 420,000 himself.

Robl Doubles

Matthew Schwarmann opened from the cutoff and Andrew Robl moved all in for his last 31,000 from the button. Schwarmann called and was dominated.

Showdown
Schwarmann: {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Robl: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The board ran {j-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Robl more than doubled to 64,000 chips.

Schwarmann slipped to 155,000.
