That's Why You Don't Slowplay Aces, Queens and Sixes

Stop us if you've heard this one before: Four hands - {a-}{a-}, {q-}{q-}, {6-}{6-} and {5-}{7-} - walk into a bar and go all in, but only the {5-}{7-} makes it out alive.

Thanks to a flop of {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}, David Lucchesi had no problem getting it all in along with three other players who had him dominated preflop. Lucchesi avoided higher full houses with the {3-Clubs} on the turn and the {9-Clubs} on the river and eliminated three players at his table in one shot.

Introducing Bashar Ramahi

After taking a walk through the Pavilion, and the 440 or so players that are still alive, it looks like our current chipleader is Bashar Ramahi with about 42,000 chips.

He recently added a few more chips to his stack when he raised to 600 from under the gun and got two callers. He bet 1,150 into the {3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and took the pot down when the other players folded.

When we arrived at the table, Men Nguyen moved all in pre-flop for about 500 chips, and three of his opponents called.

The board {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was checked all the way and Nguyen tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, one of his opponents showed {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and "The Master" is out of the tournament.
