Chan Takes Rare Loss

Terrence Chan is no longer leading the field at the moment, but he still right up there. We recently watched Quite a large pot go in the opposite direction of Chan, something we are not too accustomed to seeing tonight.

The hand started when Jesse Martin opened the pot from under the gun. A middle-position Samuel Golbuff then three-bet, before Chan made it another bet on Golbuff's direct left. Both players called Chan's raise and a flop was dealt.

Flop: {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

The play was checked to Chan on the flop and he fired out a bet. Martin folded his hand and Golbuff put in the check-raise. Chan called and a {7-Clubs} was dealt on the turn. Golbuff bet and Chan called, the same as what occurred on the {3-Spades} river. When Golbuff tabled his {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, it was enough to see Chan's cards into the muck as Golbuff now finds himself near the top of the chip counts.

Tom Gone

Philip Tom is the latest addition to the rail and we were there to catch all the action during the hand in which he was eliminated.

It all started when Matt Szymaszek opened it up from middle position. Matthew Woodward re-raised from the cutoff and Philip Tom called all-in from the big blind. Szymaszek made the call and Tom would watch the two players take to a {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop.

On the flop, Szymaszek checked and then called the bet of Woodward. The {4-Spades} hit the turn and the same actions occured as a {j-Hearts} landed on the river. This time both players checked and Szymaszek turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, which was enough to take down the pot and send Tom to the rail.

Glantz Gutted; Shulman Shimmering

Jeff Shulman's stack has increased substantially since our redraw, while it is the opposite case for Matt Glantz. A recent hand saw Shulman open it up from middle position and Glantz re-raise from the small blind. Shulman called and a {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop was dealt. Glantz bet and Shulman called as a {2-Spades} hit the turn. Another bet from Glantz and another call from Shulman and the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

This time both players opted to check and Glantz tabled {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, not strong enough for Shulman's {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Duke Dusted Before Money

Annie Duke, eliminated
Annie Duke, eliminated

Annie Duke has just bit the dust a few places before the money bubble and we were there to see it all go down. Duke actually ended up getting her stack in preflop as she and Raymond Dehkharghani had a raise war. By the time all the chip were in, Dehkharghani capped the betting and Duke called all-in.

Dehkharghani: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Duke: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, with no help for Duke as she exits the tournament.

Glantz Gets the Double

Kenneth Shei was in middle position when he opened up the pot. Glantz made it three bets from teh hijack and Shei called as a {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop was dealt. With a bunch of bets and raises, Glantz put the remainder of his short stack in the middle and two players turned their hands over.

Glantz: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Shei: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The turn ({9-Hearts}) and the river ({j-Diamonds}) gave Glantz a straight and sent him the double-up, while Shei took a small hit to his stack.
