JC Straight Flushed

Now sitting on the rail
Now sitting on the rail

On a flop of {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{J-Spades} Tim West fired out 1,800 only to have JC Tran bump the action to 4,200.

West put in the all-in three-bet and Tran called off his remaining chips.

West: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Tran: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

With Tran in great shape to double through, he would still have to sweat West's straight flush-draw as the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn to change little.

Unfortunately for Tran, the dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades} on the river to send the 2009 WSOP Bracelet winner to the rail. With that straight flush, West climbs to over 34,000 in chips.

Veldhuis Records the KO

A short-stacked player was all-in for his last few thousand and both Lex "RasZi" Veldhuis and Kirk Morrison made the call.

Both Morrison and Veldhuis checked the {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, but after the {10-Diamonds} turned Veldhuis led for 1,625. Morrison folded and Veldhuis opened {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for broadway.

The short-stacked player tabled {A-} and a card we missed, needing a queen, but the river was a lonely {2-Diamonds}.

Veldhuis recorded the KO and raked in a pot pushing his stack to 10,100.

Break Time

The tournament is now on a 20-minute break.

So if you're in town and feel like handing over $5,000, then come on down to the Rio and register for Event 6.

Bari Nice to See You

Fresh off of his 14th place, $113,030 finish in the $50,000 Player's Championship, Allen Bari is present and now sitting at Table 3 next to Andy Bloch.

It'll be interesting to see if Bari can parlay his success from Event #2 into a successful series.

Dwan Flushed With Chips

With the flop reading {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} both a player in the small blind and Tom Dwan checked to Matt Woodward who bet 2,000.

The player in the small blind called and Dwan raised to 6,400. Woodward folded, but the small blind called.

The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and when checked to, Dwan shoved for 23,475. His opponent tank-called showing {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for two pair, and Dwan tabled {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped flush.

The {10-Hearts} on the river did not fill Dwan's opponent up, and the man they call "durrrr" doubled to 52,000 chips.

Veldhuis Slipping

Rafe Furst opened to 850 from the cutoff only to have Lex Veldhuis bump it up on the button to 1,700.

Furst made the call to see a {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop fall and a bet of 1,500 follow from Veldhuis. Furst made the call as the {2-Spades} landed on the turn and a bet of 2,300 follow from the Veldhuis.

Taking his time, Furst again made the call before leading for 2,300 when the {4-Spades} landed on the river.

With only 5,100 behind Veldhuis deliberated for near on three minutes before tossing his hand into the muck to let Furst rake in the pot and move to over 21,000 in chips.
