Glantz Owns Lellouche

Four players checked through the the turn of a board reading {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. After three more checks, Matt Glantz bet 300 in position. The first two players folded, and Antony Lellouche check-raised to 1,100. Glantz called, and on to the {k-Diamonds} river. Lellouche bet out 1,200, and Glantz raised to 2,250. Lellouche looked him up, but said "You're good," the second he saw that Glantz had a king. Matt took it down with {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}, chipping up to 13,300. He's out of red chips however.

Grinder on the Upswing

Michael Mizrachi got it all in on an {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop with {k-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the nut flush draw with a gutshot. His opponent's {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} had a lot to fade, but the sweat didn't last long with the {q-Diamonds} on the turn filling Mizrachi's Broadway draw. The {7-Hearts} river changed nothing, and the Grinder doubled to 16,000. He's also still got two rebuy chips stored.

Bjorin and Mercier Can't Make the Call

On a flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs}, the player in the small blind and the player in the big blind checked. Chris Bjorin made it 300 from middle position, and Jason Mercier made the call from the button, as did the small blind.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and all three players checked.

The river was the {4-Diamonds}. The small blind tossed in 1,100. Both Bjorin and Mercier folded.

Minieri Scoops a Four-Way All In

Apparently {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} is the ultimate action flop. David Singer drove the action and got it all in against two other opponents, and Dario Minieri called all in to make it a four-way showdown.

Singer: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} for top two
Minieri: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} for top two with the nut flush draw (not good news for Singer)
Player 3: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts} for useless second nut flush
Player 4: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the third best flush draw

The turn brought the {7-Spades}, and the {3-Clubs} on the river shipped the whole pot to Minieri. He's got all three red chips saved plus 10,500. Singer is down to 4,000 plus two rebuys.

Richey's Aces

On a board reading {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Brett Richey's opponent check-called his 2,800 bet.

Richey showed {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and took the pot with aces and eights and is up to 19,500. He also has two red rebuy chips.

Grospellier Gets the Best of Morrison

On a flop reading {A-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier bet 700 and was called by Kirk Morrison.

On the {5-Spades} turn, Grospellier bet 3,075 and Morrison made the call.

Grospellier moved all in for 8,500 on the {5-Hearts} river and Morrison made the call again.

Grospellier showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for aces full to best Morrison's {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} - X - X.

Grospellier is up to 22,000 with two rebuy chips to spare and Morrison has found an early exit.

Mercier Rocks Rockets

The big blind checked a {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, and Chris Bjorin and Barry Greenstein checked behind. Jason Mercier was last to act, and he bet 450. The big blind then check-raised to 1,075. That was enough to fold out Bjorin and Greenstein. Mercier made the call, tossing in the chips with an exaggerated eye roll. The turn brought the {a-Hearts}, and the big blind bet 3,200. Mercier moved all in for another 1,575 with top set, and his opponent called with a double gutshot.

Mercier: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Big blind: {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds} river was a blank, and Mercier doubled to nearly 8,000. He also has one rebuy remaining.
