One Less Woman Left

Janet Callaway was one of four women left in the main event when we saw her put her remaining 193,000 in preflop. She found just one caller in Lance Steinberg, and when the cards were flipped, Callaway saw that she was in rough shape.

Callaway: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Steinberg: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The ESPN cameras set up shop, and the players were ready for what would be a roller coaster board. The flop brought out {10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Clubs}, giving Callaway the lead but giving Steinberg a straight draw. That draw came on the turn, when the {j-Clubs} came, giving Steinberg a Broadway straight. Callaway could only get a king on the river to chop the pot, and she wasn't able to, as it came the {10-Diamonds}. Steinberg collected the chips, leaving us with just three women left in the event, with around 200 players remaining.

Moore's Monster Doesn't Beat Randolph's Monster

Alex Moore just shipped a good portion of those oranges across the table.
Alex Moore just shipped a good portion of those oranges across the table.

Alex Moore opened for 38,000 in the cutoff and James Randolph raised to 126,000 from the big blind. Moore played back at Randolph and made it 261,000. Randolph shoved all in for 1.043 million and Moore called.

Moore: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}
Randolph: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}

A king in the window gave Moore a glimmer of hope but when the dealer spread the flop it read {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} giving both players a set. The turn fell {3-Diamonds} and Moore needed the case king to take the hand. But the river fell {Q-Hearts} and Randolph doubled up.

Coetzer Curtailed

Timothy Adams moved all in from the cutoff for 347,000 and Conrad Coetzer also shoved for the 324,000 total that he had in the small blind. The big blind folded and the two players showed their hands.

Adams: {A-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Coetzer: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Coetzer was behind for his tournament life and although he paired up on the flop, it came {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to give Adams the toppest of pairs. With neither player having a club, Coetzer would need a king or queen to survive until the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn to take away his queen outs. The river was the {8-Clubs} and not the king Coetzer needed and he was eliminated.

Siegal Eliminated After His QQ Gets Cracked

Jeff Siegal and Giuseppe Pastura got all of the money in preflop after a series of raises. Pastura was the larger stack and Siegal was all in for 806,000 holding the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Pastura held the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Andrew Rasskamm claimed to have folded two nines.

The flop came down {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Pastura picked up top set of tens. Rosskamm would've flopped middle set. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, which gave Siegal a straight draw to help, but the river landed with the {K-Spades} and he missed his outs.

Pastura won the hand to move over two million in chips. Siegal was eliminated.

Manoj-ing a Comeback

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Manoj Viswanathan
Manoj Viswanathan

It looks as though Manoj Viswanathan has made some recovery, pushing back up over the 1.1 million mark. Meanwhile, [Removed:326] has vacated his seat on the secondary feature table, suggesting Viswanathan collected as least some of those chips from [Removed:327].

Hoffman Mauled by Mol

We found James Hoffman all in preflop for 330,000 and at risk against Sven Mol.

Mol: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Hoffman: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Hoffman was racing for his tournament life and although he picked up a flush draw on the turn of the {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} board, he bricked the river to bust.

Lindgren Loses a Few

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

A player in early position raised and found callers from Erick Lindgren on the button and both blinds.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and everyone checked to see a turn. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and everyone checked to Lindgren, who bet 65,000. Andrew Hinrichsen called from the small blind and everyone else folded.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and both players checked. Hinrichsen flipped over {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of queens and Lindgren rapped the table in acknowledgement before mucking.

Lindgren is down to 540,000 while Hinrichsen is back up to 780,000.

Garneau's Big Slick Doesn't Connect

We found a preflop all in showdown between Jonathan Garneau and Robert Kolbe. Garneau held {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and Kolbe had {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}. The board ran {7-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Clubs} and Garneau had the long walk to the payouts office.

Maletic Doubles Through Tehan

Joe Tehan
Joe Tehan

We found Mark Maletic all in preflop for 201,000 and at risk against Joe Tehan with the ESPN cameras rolling.

Maletic: {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Tehan: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Maletic was behind for his tournament life but caught up and took the lead when the flop came {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}. The {8-Spades} on the turn was safe for him and he would just have to avoid an ace on the river ala Barry Greenstein to double. The river was none across but it was the {2-Hearts} and Maletic won the pot.
