Elizabeth Runs Into Quads

Shannon Elizabeth was in the cutoff and was facing a min-raise from a middle-position player when she three-bet to 700 with her opponent calling.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and the middle-position player checked-called a bet of 800 from Elizabeth.

Both players checked the {6-Spades} on the turn. Elizabeth called a bet of 1,300 when the {5-Diamonds} came on the river and turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, but was crushed by the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} of her opponent.

Bad Timming for Fátima

Fátima Moreira de Melo

The player under the gun opened the pot with a 150-chip raise, and was called by two players, one in middle position and the button. In the big blind, Team PokerStars Sports Pro Fátima Moreira de Melo, re-popped it to 800.

The initial raiser folded and the player in middle position moved all in for an additional 1,100 chips. Fátima tanked and eventually called.

Fátima tabled {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and her opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}.

The board spread {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Fátima is now down to 1,900 chips.

Tough Table Gets Tougher

We had reported earlier that Gavin Griffin and Ahn Van Nguyen were seated at the same table in Seats 1 and 10 respectively. To make things even tougher, Michael Mizrachi has taken Seat 2. We'd sure hate to be the player in Seat 9.

More for Moreira de Melo

Fatima Moreira de Melo was in the big blind when she called an under the gun player's raise to 75. On a flop of {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs} she check-called a bet of 125. However, when the turn came {j-Hearts} she mixed things up and check-raised a bet of 250 to 800, inducing a fold from her opponent, leaving her with 4,300 chips.

Bonding Takes One on the Turn

A player in middle position had raised to 75 (back when blinds where 25/25) and got called by another middle position player as well as the player on the button. Lars Bonding was in the small blind and raised it to 375 with only the original raiser calling.

The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Bonding led out with a bet of 300 and his opponent folded.

Bonding now has 6,400 chips.

The Master Reports for Duty

Men Nguyen was just spotted making his way to a seat on the far corner of the room. He's got to be going off just a little sleep after spending most of last night working his way towards a second place finish in Event #32, which was good for a cool $412,746.
