The Lordge-Orgura Battles

Jeremy Lordge opened for 36,000, then Takashi Ogura reraised to 72,000 behind. It folded back around to Lordge. Lordge only had about 110,000 behind, and so had to think about the decision.

Finally he started talking to Ogura. "If I give you five dollars, will you show?" he asked, and the table chucked. At last Lordge folded his {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} face up. "One card," said Ogura of his hand, and Lordge flipped over the {Q-Hearts}. "Ace-queen or king-queen?" asked Lordge as Ogura scooped the chips. "Ace-queen," answered Ogura with a nod.

On the very next hand, Lordge again raised -- this time to 25,000 -- and it folded to Ogura in the big blind who reraised all in. Lordge called with his remaining chips, showing {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Ogura tabled {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

The board came {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Lordge doubled back to about 245,000. Ogura has 295,000 now.

Praise the Lordge

Jeremy Lordge's run good continues with another quick double-up.

This time Michael Kaufman opened with a raise to 28,000 from middle position and it folded around to Lordge in the small blind who made it 75,000. Kaufman reraised all in, and Lordge called with the rest of his stack.

Lordge {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Kaufman {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}, and Lordge suddenly moves up to 540,000. Kaufman slips to 135,000.

Bounce for Bonavida

Dorlan Schick opened with a raise in middle position to 27,000, then Raymond Bonavida reraised all in for 161,000 total. Benjamin Palmer was next to act in the cutoff, and he thought a long while before releasing his hand. The others folded, too, then Schick took about a half-minute before making the call.

Bonavida showed {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Schick {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}, and Bonavida took the pot. Palmer revealed afterwards that he had folded pocket tens.

Bonavida moves up to 345,000, while Schick is still sitting with about 510,000.

Allis Run Over By Kerr

Paul Kerr opened for 27,000 from middle position, and Michael Allis reraised to 70,000 from the cutoff. It folded back around and Kerr shoved all in, and Allis called with the 156,000 he had left behind.

Kerr {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Allis {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Someone mentioned folding {10-}{9-}, which meant the case ten landed on the flop when it came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, giving Kerr a set. The turn was the {Q-Clubs}, meaning Allis had hope, but the river was the {J-Hearts} and he's out.

Kerr now has 650,000.

Break Time

"All right, guys," said the Tournament Director. "A two-minute break."

A collective "huh?" was followed by chuckles as the TD clarified. "A 20-minute break," he said with a grin.

See you on the other side.
