Van-dalised

Level 5

(Yes, I'm using the English spelling)

Van Marcus dropped a chunk of chips just now, he bet 1,500 on the river - around a quarter of the pot - on the river of a {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} board and got check-called. Marcus showed {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} but he was pipped out on his value bet by his opponent's {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Barbieri Busted

After a flop of {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Spades} Al Barbieri bet out and another player raised enough to put him all in. Barbieri decided to call, putting his tournament life at risk.

Barbieri: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Barbieri's set of aces was leading, but the other player held a flush draw. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} changing nothing, but the {10-Spades} on the river gave the other player his flush and Barbieri was eliminated from the tournament.

Marcus Making Some Headway

Three players saw a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The first player to act checked, the second bet 1,050 and Van Marcus called as well as the first player.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and action was checked to Van Marcus who bet 2,000. The first player called while the second opted to fold.

The {k-Spades} fell on the river and both players checked. The first player showed {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of eights but Marcus held the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and won the pot.

Marcus is now up to 25,500.
