Porter Peaces Out

Joe Gualtieri and Rep Porter capped the betting preflop, and Porter was all in for his last few thousand chips.

Gualtieri: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Porter: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Porter was in trouble straightaway, because the flop included two aces - {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Porter couldn't fill up on the turn ({4-Spades}), or the river ({q-Clubs}), and was eliminated from the tournament.

Grizzle Tamed

Sam Grizzle has had a rough go since coming back from the break. First he got tangled up in a big pot with Matt Matros when he held trips; however, Matros had hit a straight to take down the pot. That left Grizzle with just 35,000.

A few hand later, action folded to Grizzle in the small blind and he raised. Matros made the call and the dup watched the flop come down {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Grizzle bet, Matros raised, and Grizzle laid down his hand in frustration. He dropped to just 23,000.

Neeman No More

When we reached Table 275, Scott Stanko and Jeffrey Neeman were heads up with the board reading {q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Spades}. The street was capped, and the river brought the {9-Hearts}. Stanko led out, Neeman got the rest of his chips in, and the hands were opened.

Stanko: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Neeman: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Both players had straights, but Neeman had the dummy-end, and was eliminated from the tournament.

"I thought I loved that card," he muttered as he exited. "I thought I loved that card."

Matros Makes Top Pair

Matt Matros raised on the button, Samuel Golbuff put in two bets from the small blind, and Matros called. The flop fell down {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and Golbuff led out. Matros raised, and Golbuff called.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, and Golbuff slowed down, check-calling a bet from Matros. Golbuff check-called one last bet when the {2-Hearts} fell on the river, and mucked when Matros opened {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for top pair. Golbuff mucked, and Matros raked in the pot.

"It's Good"

Rep Porter raised in position on the button and Scott Stanko defended his big blind with a call. A flop of {K-Spades}{5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} was rolled out and Stanko check-called a bet from Porter. A {7-Clubs} hit the turn and we had a replay of the action with Stanko again check-calling.

The river {J-Clubs} allowed for both players to tap the table for checks and the cards were turned over. Stanko showed first {J-}{10-} for a pair of jacks and a busted straight draw. Porter didn't have anything to counter Stanko's hand and threw his cards into the muck.
