Who's Heads Up?

Tony G and Josh Tieman are now heads up after the recent elimination of Brandon Adams with the chips virtually even.

Ben May has a two-to-one chip lead over Martin Kabrhel while Heather Sue Mercer and Seth Berger are also deadlocked heads up.

Negreanu Falls, Moore Progresses

Daniel Negreanu and Chris Moore both reached heads up play fairly even in chips after dispatching of Todd Brunson.

However after battling back and forth Moore took a huge lead after the following hand.

Moore opened to 1,800 from the button and Negreanu made it 6,400 to go. Moore made the call to see a {5-}{4-}{2-} flop fall and a 8,000-chip bet follow from Negreanu. Moore made it 23,000 and Negreanu moved all in with Moore making the call for his tournament life.

Moore: {4-}{4-}
Negreanu: {A-}{5-}

The turn and river brought no help for Negreanu as he slipped to a near fifteen-to-one chip disadvantage.

A few hands later on a {Q-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop Negreanu committed his remaining chips with {7-Spades}{6-Spades}, but was unable to outdraw Moore's {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}.

As Negreanu hit the rail in second place, Moore progresses through to round two.

Chip-G-Up

Tony G is the chip leader three-handed at Table 31, and just cracked aces to knockout an opponent.

Tony G opened to 2,100 before the flop, and a short-stacked player re-raised all-in for 6,700 total. Action folded back to Tony G who called.

Tony G: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The flop was fairly harmless; {10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. The {8-Clubs} in the turn brought a gut-shot straight draw though, and Tony G made it there with the {9-Clubs} on the river.

Tony G is sitting with 80,000 chips and has to get through Brandon Adams and Josh Tieman to reach Day 2.

Hollink Ivey'D

On a flop of {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} with around 9,000 in the middle, Rob Hollink jammed his last 16,375 into the middle.

After some lengthy deliberation Phil Ivey made the call to put Hollink at risk.

Hollink: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Ivey: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Ivey immediately dinged the {5-Spades} on the turn to send Hollink to the rail, and after the meaningless {10-Diamonds} landed on the river, Ivey began stacking his 51,000 in chips up.

Just Quads for Duthie

On a flop of {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts} John Duthie pushed his last 43,450 into the pot over his opponent's 6,700-chip bet.

His opponent immediately called tabling {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, but was behind Duthie's {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The {5-Diamonds} changed little, and just to rub some salt into the wounds, the {10-Spades} landed on the river to give Duthie quads and the pot to take him to 95,000 with play still four-handed on his table.

Chan Folds Trips

On a board reading {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} Johnny Chan fired out a bet of 2,500 only to have Seth Berger drop in a stack of 5,000-denomination chips to effectively put Chan all in.

After deliberating for near on five minutes Chan asked, "You got a flush? I can't beat a flush."

Some more time went by before Chan flashed his {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for trips as Berger raked in the pot to move to 42,000 as Chan slips to 24,000 in chips.
