Melanie Weisner, one of two females left in the field started out this recent hand by making it 5,200 from the small blind. The player in the big blind obliged and made the call.
A flop was exposed and Weisner wasted no time playing games and bet out around 5,600. Instead of opting to simply call Weisner's opponent measured out around 14,200 and placed a raise. Weisner eyed her opponent thinking what her best move was, and in the end she moved all in for about 59,000. Once her opponent heard the final amount of chips it would cost him if he were to lose he immediately folded his cards.
Layne Flack started a recent hand out by calling a 4,500 bet from his opponent preflop. After hearing that a call had been made Flack's opponent checked in the dark. The dealer spread a flop and action was on to Flack who bet out 7,000. A call was made and both players were granted access to the turn.
It was here that made its presence known, and with it we found two checks from both players. A on the river had Flack's opponent betting out 12,000. Flack then repopped it to 30,000. Flack's opponent was playfully disgruntled by this turn in events and stated "Almost certain you are bluffing, but bluffing with the best hand". Flack clearly got a kick out of this statement and enjoyed a nice chuckle while his opponent pondered some more. After a few minutes of thinking out loud Flack's opponent folded.
Flack was nice enough to show , but insisted this is the only time he will show.
John Eames is not happy, and it's understandable why. He got Matthew Iles all-in with ace-ten whilst he was holding pocket aces. There was a ten on the flop and a ten on the turn.
The pot was worth 145,000 chips. Eames is left with 40.500.
Joe Cada and Lauren Kling were eliminated in a matter of three hands, and it looked like David Randall would be joining them the very next hand. After a series of raises Randall moved all in against David Sands, and Doc quickly made the call.
Randall:
Sands:
Sands looked like he was going to continue his rush, but a flop brought an end to those thoughts. A on the turn and a on the river insured a double for Randall. Randall now sits with over 100,000 which is slight behind the chip lead of Jeff Madsen, but still ahead of David Sands who holds around 80,000 in chips.
Table #453 was being taken over by Carlos Mortensen a short while ago, but now it's all about Justin Schwartz.
Todd Boghosian had won a couple of big pots off Mortensen to take over the chip lead three-handed before he gave all but 40,000 of them to Schwartz.
The two were heads-up to a flop and Schwartz continued for 4,600 from the button. Boghosian check-raised up to 12,600 and was soon facing a three-bet to 28,600. He was answer was to shove and was snap-called by Schwartz.
Boghosian opened for the flush draw and that caused Schwartz to jump out of his chair, knocking it over for about the fifth time today. He said, "Oh my god" as he obviously hoped his set with was in better shape.
The board ran out and Schwartz breathed a huge sigh of relief. He has around 250,000 chips of the 450,000 in play.
Lauren Kling recently moved all in and was called by Jeff Madsen. Kling looked to be in great shape to double up as her was dominant against Madsen's . Things can change quickly as can be seen when the dealer put out a flop. Madsen flopped a flush draw, improving his chances to deliver the knock out blow.
A on the turn sealed the deal on Kling's tournament life as no other card could come to save her. A meaningless rolled off the deck as Madsen was pushed Kling's remaining stack.
A few hands later we found Joe Cada getting all in against David Sands. It was virtually a race situation with Cada holding and Sands possessing . The dealer then spread five cards in the middle and Cada was eliminated.
With a board spread Mark Seif moved all in for around 22,000 against his opponent on the button. With almost 15,000 in the pot already this was a fairly large pot if Seif's opponent wanted to make the call. After only a few moments of contemplation a call was made and cards were flipped. Seif held for a pair of kings while his opponent made the call with . Seif's opponent admitted "a bit of a hero call", fortunately for Seif his opponent didn't get there as the fell on the river.
