No Showdown for Moorman

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

With 50,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {Q-Spades} , Chris Moorman fired out a big bet of 47,000 from the small blind. His sole opponent, Alexander Luber, had just 60,000 behind and tanked on the decision. After a few mintues, a gently slide his cards in the muck and gave Moorman the pot uncontested.

Dyer Doin' It

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Thomas Middleton opened to 5,000 from middle position, Greg Dyer three-bet to 13,000 from the small blind, Middleton four-bet to 26,000, and Dyer called. The flop came down {7-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} , and Dyer check-called 18,000 from Middleton.

Dyer check-called another 18,000 after the {k-Spades} turned, and both players checked after the {8-Clubs} was dealt on the river. Dyer opened up {10-Spades} {8-Spades} for a pair of eights, Middleton mucked, and Dyer pulled in the pot.

Lehavot vs. Baron in a Monster Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

We didn't catch all the action, but we know a preflop raising war between Amir Lehavot and Isaac Baron resulted in the former being all in and at risk in a pot worth 366,000.

Lehavot: {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts}
Baron: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

It was a flip for the chip lead, one that came down favorably for Baron as the {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} flop paired his queen and gave him a redraw to the nut flush. The {10-Spades} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {3-Spades} river.

Lehavot, who won the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship earlier this year, simply said, "Nice call," as he counted out his chips. Baron appears to be the new tournament chip leader.

Plummeted Pilgrim

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

We managed to get to the table just in time to watch Jason Koon put out a 11,000 bet on a {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {k-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board. Dwyte Pilgrim then raised and made it 26,000 and after some deliberation Koon made the call.

With a {k-Diamonds} river Pilgrim moved all in and was called by Koon. Pilgrim held {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for ace high while Koon had {7-} {7-} .

Bansi vs. Laak

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Praz Bansi raised to 4,400 under the gun and cleared the field all the way around to Phil "Unabomber" Laak in the big blind. Laak didn't seem exicted to make the call, but did so nonetheless. Both Laak and Bansi played cordial and checked the {4-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} flop, as well as the {8-Diamonds} turn.

When the {A-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, Laak checked, Bansi bet 7,800, and the Unabomber folded. Small pot to Bansi
