James Dempsey was all in blind preflop against Jimmy Fricke and Cameron Mckinley. We missed the flop action but Mckinley led out on the board and Fricke called. The same betting occurred when the hit the river. Mckinley showed for the nut flush. Fricke had for the nut low. Dempsey would have to hold the same nut low in his hand in order to win a quarter of the main pot. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as he turned over a measly . Good show old chap.
A pot developed between Vladimir Shchemelev, Scott Clements, and Eric Cloutier that is most likely the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.
All three players had 36,000 in before the flop came down . Clements checked, Cloutier bet 6,000, Shchemelev raised and both Clements and Cloutier called.
The turn fell and this is where all the action happened. Clements first bet 12,000 from the small blind, Cloutier called, Shchemelev made it 24,000, Clements made it 36,000, Cloutier went all in and made it 48,000, Shchemelev called, Clements then raised to 60,000 and Shchemelev called.
The river was the and both players checked.
Clements showed for a four-five low and a flush. Shchemelev showed for the nut low. The two players chopped the 300k+ pot and Cloutier was eliminated.
Shchemelev is still around 315,000 and Clements is up around 190,000
We found Humberto Brenes and Erik Seidel battling on a flop. Brenes led out and Seidel raised. Not to be deterred, Brenes three bet and Seidel just called. On the turn, Brenes bet and Seidel called again. Humberto then bet enough when the fell on the river to put Seidel all in. Seidel put the rest of his chips at risk only to be shown the of Brenes which was good. Seidel added another cash to his resume in the year of the Seiborg.
The action was heavy preflop as three players saw a flop. Guillaume Rivet bet and was raised by Francesco Barbaro. Men Nguyen joined in by calling and the players saw the on the turn which got checked around. The river was checked around as well and it was time for the players to reveal what they had. Rivet announced “Ace, six” and Barbaro immediately mucked. Rivet revealed his and Nguyen looked at his cards before he showed two fives and mucked his other two.
The drama has finally ended for Men Nguyen after some heated words were directed at him by James Lenaghan. In a previous hand where the action was on Humberto Brenes, Nguyen told him to ``Bet it like a man Humberto``. This clearly upset Lenaghan who asked for the floor to be called over. The floor gave Nguyen a warning and he asked ``What did I do?``. Lenaghan responded with ``You cheated in a lot of poker tournaments including this one``. Men said he was ``just joking around and they take it serious`` Lenaghan started chanting ``Cheater, cheater, cheater``.
The two tangle at last in what would be Nguyen`s final hand. Lenaghan raised and Men three bet from the big blind. Lenaghan put Nguyen all in and the players turned up their cards.
Nguyen:
Lenaghan: .
The board rolled out and Lenaghan`s hand sent his foe to the payout desk.
Lex Veldhuis provided some insightful thoughts about Nguyen’s words on his twitter page to yet again: “Men The Master legendary quote #2: 'when did I ever cheat?'. He is on fire”.
