Azor Cuts Colclough

David Colclough had his whole stack in the middle preflop, while Ran Azor and Ali Aljenabi were fighting for a side pot. The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Azor bet Aljenabi out to get to showdown with Colclough.

Colclough: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Azor: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}

It hadn't exactly been a helpful flop for Colclough, and the {5-Hearts} turn and {a-Spades} river were no improvement. Azor rivered a boat, and Colclough was disposed of. Azor is up to 160,000.

Charder Sticking with Small Ball

Christian Harder raised to 4,500 after one early limper, and John Juanda flatted on the button. The big blind also joined to see the flop fall {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. It checked around, then checked to Juanda again on the {6-Spades} turn. He wasn't about to check the button twice, making it 11,500 instead. Only Charder made the call. The river brought the {a-Clubs}, which Charder checked again. "That is not a good card for me," Juanda said, opting to check behind. Charder tabled {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for trip aces, and Juanda couldn't beat it.

Charder has been on a roll since dinner break and is up to 125,000. With 49,000, Juanda's got work to do if he wants to make it to the money.

Rensink Rises

Everything but the kitchen Rensink
Everything but the kitchen Rensink

Johan Rensink, wearing his Dutch national pride on both sleeves and indeed his back in the form of a bright orange jacket, is up to almost 70,000 after knocking out Stephen Ladpwsky when his {8-}{9-}{10-}{j-} turned a straight.

Boatman Stays Afloat

Ross Boatman got his whole stack in preflop against former chip leader Kevin Boudreau, and when his stack came out again it was twice as big as before.

Boudreau: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Boatman: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Board: {4-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Presumably the bit of his hand that Boatman liked was the two kings, which as it happened were trailing behind Boudreau's aces preflop. But in the end it was the other two cards in his hand that played, and his two pair by the end of the board was good to secure a double up to 45,000. Boudreau dipped to 192,000, well down from his earlier high point of 310,000.

Schoenberg Survives Spindler

Erica Schoenberg moved in for under 20,000 preflop, and Benny Spindler made the call to put her at risk.

Schoenberg: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Spindler: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop gave E-Scho a host of straight outs and Spindler the nut flush draw. Schoenberg got there with the {8-Diamonds} on the turn, and the {5-Diamonds} river didn't improve Spindler. She doubled to 40,000, leaving Benny with 66,000.

Little Comes Up a Little Short Again

Jonathan Little has been grinding the short stack all afternoon. He was down to 12,000 at one point since dinner break, then up as high as 38,000. But his fight ended short of the money a few minutes ago.

Little got his last chips in preflop against two opponents. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Ali al Jenabi moved all in. Alan Reyf called, and all three turned up their cards.

Little: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Al Jenabi: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Reyf: {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Little's flush draw with a pair didn't get there, but al Jenabi's aces took the lead back to win the hand. He amassed Little's stack and doubled through Reyf to jump to 170,000. Reyf was knocked back to 43,000, and Little's frustrating series continued with another long Day 2 but no cash.

Boatman Buoyed Up

Following his double up around half an hour ago, Ross Boatman has gone one better and tripled up this time.

He got his last 21,800 in on a {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and was called by both Jason Mercier and Kevin Boudreau. The two of them checked down the {j-Diamonds} turn and {6-Spades} river - and both mucked when Boatman turned over {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a flush.

Boatman - up to 95,000
Mercier - down to 126,000
Boudreau - down to 150,000
