Baxter Axed

After a raise, Billy Baxter pushed all in for his remaining 1,600 with {A-}{2-} and was called by the original raiser's pocket fives. Baxter's hand didn't improve and his attempt to add a No Limit Hold'em bracelet to his résumé has come to an end.

Humor Fail?

What you say?
What you say?

"Is this your first time playing sir?" John Juanda was asked by one of his fellow table combatants.

Juanda shot him a look of confusion before adding, "first time playing today, yes!"

Ladies For Quinn

Quinn Do can do!
Quinn Do can do!

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} with around 3,000 in the pot, Quinn Do fired out 700 and was called by an opponent before the {9-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Do pushed his last 2,250 into the pot and was called.

Do: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The river landed the meaningless {2-Spades} to see Do double though to over 10,000 in chips.

Ramdin Chipping Up

With a raise to 500 ahead of him, Victor Ramdin bumped it to 1,550 from the button.

Making the call, Ramdin's opponent then fired out 2,100 on a {4-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Ramdin made the call and when the {K-Spades} landed on the turn and the action was checked to him, he instantly moved all in and forced a fold from his opponent.

"Living on the edge!" uttered an excited Ramdin as he climbed to 12,000 in chips.

Topakas Topples Over

Steve Topakas before elimination
Steve Topakas before elimination

Steve Topakas limped in only to have a button raise and a small blind shove follow me.

Topakas made the call for his last 3,300 and tournament life as the player on the button mucked.

Topakas: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

Unfortunately for Topakas the flop fell down {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to virtually end his tournament, and following the {5-Clubs} and {7-Spades} on the turn and river, Topakas made his way to the rail.

The turn and river landed the {7-Hearts} and {9-Hearts} to see Wong eliminate his opponent and climb to over 21,000 in chips.
