Engel Takes a Hit

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Ari Engel opened a recent hand and made it 7,900 his opponent then moved all in for 25,000. After a few moments of thinking Engel completed and made the call. Engel's opponent said "good call", with five cards to come though no one knew what the turn out would be.

Engel: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Hearts} and Engel came up short, doubling up his opponent.

Solomon Hitting Everything

Matt Keikoan raced into an early lead at his table and looked unstoppable at one point. This poker games of ours is a funny old beast though and he handed over the mantle to Jarred Solomon.

Solomon raised from the small blind and called when Keikoan clicked it back to him. The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Keikoan led for 18,000 and then moved all-in when Solomon min-raised. Snap-call.

Keikoan opened: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for an over pair.
Solomon opened: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for a set.

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and Keikoan was eliminated.

Solomon told us that he's been hitting everything. He now has roughly 265,000 chips to Peter Alson's 80,000 moving into heads-up play.

David Sands Eliminated

David Sands
David Sands

David Sands has been in reverse ever since he lost with his pocket jacks to David Randall's pocket nines. Slowly getting lower and lower we recently saw him move all in from the button. Randall's folded, but Madsen made the call.

Sands: {Q-}{J-}
Madsen: {A-}{A-}

The board then ran out {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Sands was subsequently eliminated. Heads up play is now going on between the two players remaining from the table of death. Madsen possess a huge chip lead over Randall, but anything can happen.

Battle of the British Short Stacks

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nick Gibson and John Eames are the two short stacks at their table and one just doubled through the other.

Gibson open shoved for 16,600 from the cut-off and Eames re-shoved from the small blind. The big blind folded.

Gibson said he only looked at a king. He found a queen to go with it for {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}. "How do you find that?" replied Eames as he tabled his {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades} to hand Gibson the pot. Eames dropped to around 20,000 chips.
