Nanonoko KO'd

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

In a blind vs. blind situation, Randy Lew's opponent, who had Lew covered, went all-in. Lew fell hard into the tank and looked visibly distraught, but managed to convince himself to make the (right) call for his last 35,000.

Nanonoko: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Lew was punished despite making the correct call, however, as the flop ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}, leaving Lew well behind.

The {J-Spades} turn and {J-Hearts} river were no help to Lew, who was sent to the rail in disappointing fashion.

Ho's Stack Takes a Hit

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We caught up with the action on a flop that read {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}. The player in the big blind checked, as did an early position player. Maria Ho fired a 7,500 bet, which landed a fold from the big blind. However, the early position player check-raised to 10,000 more to 17,500. Ho fell hard into the tank, but landed on a call after much deliberation.

The turn came the {7-Clubs} and Ho's opponent immediately slid out a stack worth 20,000. Ho went through the motions, but eventually folded her hand.

Ho's stack has slid to 87,000.

Kings For Lee

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Bernard Lee filled us in on a hand that took place just before the dinner break.

On the button, he raised to 5,700 with pocket kings. The player in the big blind re-raised all in with about 35,000 behind and Lee snap called, thrilled to see his opponent table {K-}{3-}. The board ran out {Q-}{J-}{6-}{10-}{2-}, safe for Lee to increase his stack to 189,000.

Ramdin Straightened Out

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With the board spread {5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades} and the pot sitting at roughly 40,000, Christian Harder pushed out a bet of 20,500.

His lone opponent in the hand - Victor Ramdin - thought for some time before making the call only to muck at the sight of Harder's {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}.

As Ramdin slips to 65,000, Harder climbs up to roughly 130,000 in chips.

Sands Triples

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Shortly after Dave Sands lost most of his stack with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} to John Dolan's {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} when four spades hit the board, Sands found himself all in for 11,200 with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} against two opponents.

Fortunately for Sands, they checked down a board of {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} and could not beat his top pair top kicker. Though he is still short, Sands has a little bit of life with about 35,000.
