Liu Gaining Some Ground

Level 3 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

JJ Liu opened from the cutoff and was called by Michele Limongi in the big.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Limongi check-called a bet from Liu. However, Limongi decided he had enough when Liu bet again on the {A-Hearts} turn and folded.

Liu is back up to 32,000

Exposed Card Keeps Ramdin Alive

Karen Manfrede raised it up on the button and Victor Ramdin re-raised leaving him only 600 behind. Manfrede called and Ramdin threw his last 600 in the pot before the flop was even dealt, it came down{a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Ramdin flipped over the {k-Diamonds}, assuming that he was going to get a call from Manfrede who announced, "I haven't called yet." Ramdin said, "OH, I'm sorry... I just didn't think you were about to fold for 600 right here..." Manfrede threw her hand away though and Ramdin showed {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for absolutely nothing. Manfrede seemed to regret the fold a bit, but Ramdin is now alive again with 7,500.

Parker & Engel Play Big Hands

Level 3 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Brock Parker and Ari Engel both had big hands in the last pot they played. They went to a flop of {Q-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, Parker bet, Englel raised and Parker called. The turn came {K-Clubs}, Parker bet and Engel called. The river fell {K-Diamonds}, Parker bet and Engel called. See a pattern there?

Engel tabled {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and Parker broke his usual straight face with a smile and tabled {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}. They chopped up the pot and it's the second time we've seen pocket aces dealt to two players in the same hand.

Lew Changing Gears

Facing a three bet preflop Randy Lew called and got to see a flop with the likes of Christoph Kwon and Luke Nettles. The cards came out {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Lew dictated the action with a bet, Kwon called while Nettles folded.

On the {10-Clubs} turn Kwon again called a bet from Lew. The river {4-Diamonds} brought checks from both players. Lew showed {6-}{6-} which was enough to win the pot, as Kown mucked his cards.

Corkins Eliminated

Hoyt Corkins moved all in from middle position and received three callers. On a {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop Dale Eberle was able to cut some dead weight with a series of raises between him and David Speicher lead to Todd Wittleles folding. The {A-Diamonds} on fourth street brought another bet from Edberle and a fold from Speicher.

Corkins: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Eberle: {A-}{k-}

Corkins would need to catch a four in order to stay in this tournament. The river {8-Diamonds} was no use to Corkins and he was eliminated.
