Vedes Chips Up

In a multi-way pot with around 8,000 in the middle, Tommy Vedes fired out for his last 14,000 on a {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop.

The remaining active players folded to see Vedes table his {6-Spades}{4-Spades} to be drawing live against his opponent's {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn was enough to put Vedes in the lead, and after the river blanked, Vedes scooped the pot to climb to 25,000 as his opponent hit the rail.

Vedes however is still chasing table chip leader Jimmy Collopy who has 50,000 in chips with play at five-handed.

Heads Up For Tilly

Jennifer Tilly opened from the small blind to 1,900 and her opponent made it 6,000 to go. Tilly deliberated for some time before sliding in a stack to effectively put her opponent all in.

After nearly three minutes in the tank Tilly's opponent made the call tabling his {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to be dominated by Tilly's {A-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} and the dealer pushed the pot to Tilly to send her to over 60,000 in chips as the eliminated opponent just tapped the table and walked off as the dealer began dealing the next hand.

Note: this hand is not a mistake, does not contain a typo, but has been correctly sighted and reported by two PokerNews employees

May Day

We have one of our first heads-up matches on Table 26 between Martin Kabrhel and a player named Ben May. Kabrhel began the match with the chip lead, but has since doubled his opponent.

Kabrhel recently raised with the button and May called. The flop fell {J-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and May checked to Kabrhel who bet 1,475. May check-raised to 4,000 and Kabrhel elected to call.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and May again checked to Kabrhek who moved all-in. May called and the hands were tabled:

May: {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Kabrhek: {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

Kabrhek needed a three on the river to fill his gut-shot draw, but it did not come as the {8-Clubs} hit the felt doubling May to 38,000 chips and dropping Kabrhek to 112,000 chips.

Cupcakes for Everyone

The birthday boy has busted and the prop bet has ended.

Andy Bloch struggled with both his cupcakes and his table throughout the day. In one of the first hands after the break, he was all-in against Blair Hinkle and when we reached the table the hands were open and the board was completed:

Bloch: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Hinkle: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Bloch stood up with a smile on his face and offered one of the remaining cupcakes to a nearby player. We're sure he doesn't want to see another cupcake for a while.

The official Bloch Cupcake Count ended at 6.5.

Hinkle in the other hand is alive and well, now sitting with over 70,000 chips.

In a three-bet pot with around 7,000 in the middle, the dealer spread a {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop with both Eric Froehlich and Daniel Negreanu checking the action to see the {K-Clubs} fall on the turn.

Froehlich fired out 5,000 and Negreanu moved his last 27,325 into the middle with Froehlich immediately making the call.

Negreanu: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Froehlich: {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Fortunately for Negreanu the river landed the {9-Clubs} to see the Team PokerStars Canada Pro double through to 63,000 as Froehlich slips to just 4,300 in chips.
