Kara Just Tripled Up

John Kranyak opened the pot with a 7,000-chip bet and Armen Kara re-popped it to 15,400. In the big blind, Joe Gotlieb made the call. The action gets back to Kranyak who eventually called all in.

The board reading {2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} was checked until the river.

Showdown
Kara: {q-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Gotlieb: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Kranyak: {10-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Why got a triple up for Mr. Kara who is now up to 51,500. Gotlieb slipped to 64,000 and Kranyak now has 178,000 chips.

Moore Has None

Chris Moore started the action with a pot raise on the button, and James Dempsey set him all in from the small blind. Moore called off his few thousand remaining chips, and he was flipping for his survival:

Moore: {5-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}
Dempsey: {A-Hearts} {6-Spades}

There was an ace right on the flop, and the board of {A-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} ushered Moore out the door. Dempsey earns the knockout, moving his stack up to about 240,000.

Oxenberg Out

Bob Oxenberg got his short stack all in before the flop with {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}, and he didn't have enough chips to push Mark Babekov off his {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} unfortunately.

The board rolled out {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, and the queen on the river is the last card Oxenberg will see today. He's been eliminated.

Coca Flushed Away

James Coca opened the pot with a 7,500-chip bet and John Kranyak re-popped it to 16,000 and Coca went all in. Kranyak called.

Showdown
Coca: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Kranyak: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Flop: {4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Spades}
Turn: {2-Clubs}
River: {7-Clubs}

Flush for Kranyak and is now up to 80,000 chips, Coca is on his way home in the 34th place.
