Chan Cut Down By Rousso

Terrence Chan is no more!
Terrence Chan is no more!

A short-stacked Terrence Chan limp-shoved all in with Vanessa Rousso making the call.

Chan: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Rousso: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop brought Rousso top pair but still left Chan with a straight-draw, live overcard and back-door flush draw.

The {A-Diamonds} on the turn - although improving Chan - didn't change anything as Rousso also improved.

Like salt into the wounds, the {A-Hearts} on the river saw Chan improve once again, but still leave Rousso with the best hand and also progression through to round four as Chan bites the dust.

Griffin Goes Broke

Anton Kozlovskiy has just knocked off Ashton Griffin after quite an up-and-down match,

On the final hand, Griffin got his money in good with {A-Spades} {8-Spades} against the {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} of Kozlovskiy.

The flop was a disastrous {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, though, and that was pretty much that. Griffin has been flushed away, and Kozlovskiy moves on to the next round.

Kaplin Slipping

On a board reading {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades} Gavin Smith fired out 36,000 into a pot of roughly 40,000.

Gabe Kaplin mulled over a decision for a few moments before making the call, only to muck at the sight of Smith's {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

With that pot, Smith climbs to around 205,000 as Kaplin sits with only 35,000 in chips.

Less is Moore, Williams Moves Through

Chris Moore on the losing end of this match
Chris Moore on the losing end of this match

David Williams opened to 5,000, and Christopher Moore reraised to 15,000. Williams promptly moved all in, and Moore called off the rest of his ~95,000 chips to put himself at risk. And racing:

Williams: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Moore: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

Williams found his pair on the flop, and the board of {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs} secures his place in the Round of 32. Christopher Moore has been eliminated.

Leah Doubles Through Jaka

Mike Leah was all in for about 65,000 before the flop against his opponent Faraz Jaka.

The cards were turned up, and Leah's {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} was racing for the double up against Jaka's {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}.

The board ran out {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}, and Leah catches his ace to take down the pot. He's doubled up to 133,000 now, pushing Jaka back to 107,000.

Oliva Eliminated, Saul Progresses

Following a preflop raising war, Kevel Saul found himself all in for 119,700 against Alioscia Oliva.

Saul: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Oliva: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to see Oliva crippled to just 600 only to hit the rail the next hand after being all in for the small blind.

Oliva: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Saul: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to see Oliva exit and Saul progress through to the next round.

Been vs. Rast

A few minutes ago...

Brian Rast bet out 50,000 on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds}, and Aaron Been moved all in over the top. Rast called with the covering stack, and the cards were on their backs:

Rast: {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Been: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}

Been's set held up on the safe {7-Clubs} turn and {10-Spades} river, and that marks a big double up. That moved him to 211,000, leaving Rast with just 29,000.

A few hands later...

Rast was all in for about 35,000 preflop with {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and Been was racing for the knockout with {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Everything was smooth for Been through the first four cards on board ({9-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}), but the river {10-Spades} spiked Rast's pair to double him back up to 70,000.

Been has 170,000.

Sundell Glass(er)'d

Catching the action on a {J-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop we found Johan Sundell all in against Michael Glasser.

Sundell: {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Glasser: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

With Sundell needing to find a queen or running cards to make a full house, he would see the {8-Clubs} land on the turn to give him four more outs to remain in the tournament.

Unfortunately for Sundell, the {2-Diamonds} would fall on the river to send him to the rail as Glasser progresses through to round four.
