Smith Loses a Little

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We caught this hand on the flop of {4-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and after a checked Gavin Smith bet 18,500. His opponent then moved all in for 128,000 and Smith called.

Smith: {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}

The turn and river came {10-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} and with the ace on the river Smith lost the hand. Smith cut out the 128,000 and was visibly frustrated with losing the hand.

Gavin Grabs a Pot

On a board of {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}, a player led out for 12,000 and Gavin Smith made the call from the button. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and the action checked around. The river was the {6-Clubs} and Smith's opponent checked once more. Smith counted out a stack of 35,500 and slid it into the middle of the table.

Smith's opponent tanked for about a minute and a half before finally making the call. Smith tabled {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and his opponent let out a sigh and mucked his hand.

Reneaut Runs Out of Gas

Donald Depew is up to 287,000 in chips after eliminated Frenchwoman Claire Reneaut.

Reneaut moved all in from under the gun for the last of her stack and the action folded around to Depew who iso-shoved from middle position, forcing the others to get out of the way before they went to showdown:

Reneaut: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Depew: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Reneaut grimaced after Depew hit two pair on the flop of {5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{5-Hearts}, which held up after the turn and river ran out {2-Spades}, {8-Diamonds} to send Reneaut to the rail.

Before the PokerNews team left to return to media row, Bryn Kenney was quick to point out that his stack has gotten even larger. "740,000," he said.

"You Can't Call the Clock On Yourself."

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Noah Schwartz was on the button and Grudi Grudev was in the big blind. They went to a flop of {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Grudev bet 42,500. Schwartz called and the turn came {3-Spades}. Grudev moved all in for more than 200,000 and Schwartz went into the tank.

Schwartz hemmed and hawed with a smile on his face. After a couple minutes of indecision Schwartz asked the dealer to call the floor -- because he wanted to call the clock on himself.

The dealer summoned the floorman and was told of the request and the floorman told Schwartz, "You can't call the clock on yourself," and started to walk away.

Andy Philachack was at the same table and as the floorman was walking away he requested that a clock be called. The floorman returned and initiated a countdown.

Schwartz folded.

Philachack Chucks One Out

Andy Philachack is back up to 215,000 in chips after taking out another opponent.

From under the gun, a player moved all in with {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} before Philachack called with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} before the others got out of the way. Neither hand improved on the board of {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and that was all she wrote, sports fans.

Chip Me Up!

Founder of ChipMeUp Rayan Nathan has just given another player his cue to leave as we tick over into 1am here in the Amazon Room.

From under the gun, an opponent shoved for 22,000 and the action folded around to Nathan on the button, who re-raised all-in for 188,000. The blinds got out of the way and then the players went to showdown:

UTG: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Nathan: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The flop of {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} was golden for Nathan, as it gave him top set. The {J-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing, so needing one of the two kings left in the deck, the opponent was felted after the dealer peeled of the {9-Hearts} on the river.
