Yass Runs Into Aces

Chad Holloway

A short-stacked Jeffrey Yass completed with the {K-Spades} and was called by Shaun Deeb, who was showing the {Q-Hearts} . Huu Vinh then put in a two bet, Yass three-bet all in and Deeb folded. Vinh made the call and Yass was at risk.

Vinh: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} / {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} / {J-Diamonds}
Yass: {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} / {K-Spades} {9-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} / {4-Spades}

Yass' pair of sevens was in bad shape against Vinh's aces and were never able to catch up, sending him to the rail empty handed.

Ramdin Run Out

[user66118]

It wasn't very long ago that Victor Ramdin was in the top five in chips, but his day has come to an early end.

We didn't see the hand as it played out, but Perry Friedman was kind enough to fill us in. One tends to be in a good mood when one is stacking a pot, and it was Friedman who did the knocking out. He made a diamond flush with his first five cards, and Ramdin could only end the hand with a naked pair of nines.

Ramdin has been eliminated with 27 players left.

Duke & Kassela No More

Chad Holloway

As we were getting a fresh round of chip counts, we missed the knockout hand of Annie Duke. From what we were told, Duke started with {Q-} {Q-} while Nacho Barbero had {A-} {A-} . The Argentinean made aces up and Duke was unable to improve, putting an end to her day in 30th position.

Preceding her knockout was the 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Frank Kassela.

Turner Turned Away

[user66118]

Tim Finne completed with the {6-Hearts} , and Jon Turner raised with the {A-Spades} . When Finne called the extra bet, off they went heads-up.

Finne: (x-x) / {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} / (x)
Turner: (x-x) / {A-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} / (x)

Turner bet fourth street, then called all in for 7,400 when Finne raised. When the boards were run out, the hands looked like this:

Finne: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} / {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {7-Spades}
Turner: {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {6-Spades} / {A-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}

Turner's aces were no good as Finne first made kings up, then a full house on seventh street. He's been eliminated.

Singer on the Rise

Chad Holloway

Bill Chen completed with the {10-Spades} only to have David Singer two-bet. Chen made the call and then called bets all the way to seventh street, which both players checked.

Chen: (x-x) / {10-Spades} {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Singer: {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} / {9-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {2-Spades}

Singer's two pair was good and he chipped up to 63k.

Finne Doubles Through Violette

Chad Holloway

We caught the action of sixth street after Cyndy Violette had bet, Daniel Studer called and Tim Finne two-bet. Violette responded with a three-bet, Studer folded and Finne four-bet all in for 5,800 more. Violette made the call and the cards were tabled:

Violette: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} / {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {3-Clubs} / {6-Spades}
Finne: {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} / {5-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} / {4-Diamonds}
Studer: (x-x) / {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} fold

Finne got it in good with trip tens and managed to dodge a queen to double.

Here Comes Freddie!

[user66118]

We're big Freddie Ellis fans, and we joined this pot on fifth street as he tangled with Brandon Guss.

Guss: (x-x) / {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} / (x)
Ellis: (x-x) / {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} / (x)

Guss was the one doing the heavy betting on fifth, sixth, and seventh street, and Ellis called those first two bets. On the river, though, Ellis stuck in a raise, and Guss flatted to see what was what.

What was what was that Ellis had a surprise case of the quads. He rolled over {3-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} / {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} , and that's the winner. Amazingly, Guss had made queens full on seventh, and he showed his {Q-} {Q-} {8-} / {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} before the dealer pushed the pot away from him.
