Ankenman Down

Jerrod Ankenman is the latest player to fall to the rail and we were to catch all the action. Ankenman opened it up from middle position and Philip Tom raised from the small blind. Ankenman then put in another bet and Tom did the same. At this point Ankenman had less than a big bet and was most likely about to got those chips in.

On the {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, Tom bet and Ankenman said "That's not a good flop," as he committed the last of his chips.

Ankenman: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Tom: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Ankenman called for a queen and got his wish as the dealer turned over {q-Hearts} on the turn. Ankenman then called for a ten, but the dealer tabled a {2-Spades}. "Two times dealer, two times that's all i ask!" said Ankenman as he got out of his chair in good spirits.

"Are we in the money or not?" asked the dealer who just started his shift.

Ankenman and the rest of the table had a giggle as Terrence Chan noted that the dealer was just needling Ankenman as he makes his way out of the tournament with no reward to show for his time.

Duking it Out

Annie Duke was in the cut-off seat when she opened up the pot. The player on the button was Raymond Dehkharghani and he opted to three-bet. Duke flicked in the call and the dealer spread out a {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} flop. Duke opted to check-call here and Dehkharghani bet. A call from Duke and the two players would then check the {3-Diamonds} turn. The last card was the {5-Diamonds} and this time Duke would lead. Dehkharghani went into the tank before letting go of his hand and seeing them into the muck.

Another One Down

When we came to Table 409, Sean Snyder was busy committing his last 7,800 in chips, while Kenneth Shei and Andrew Prock were busy getting a couple of bets into the pot.

Flop: {9-Clubs}{a-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Snyder watched on as Prock checked and Shei bet. A call from Prock and the {10-Clubs} would hit the turn. Both players checked here and the {3-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. This time Prock would lead with a bet and a call from Shei would see Prock table his {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, enough to take down the pot as Snyder sent his cards into the muck and left the tournament area.

Tom Loses Some

Philip Tom, Jeff Shulman and the player in the big blind took to a {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop in a raised pot. Tom was in the small-blind position and led on the flop. The big blind called and Shulman raised it up. Both the remaining players called and a {8-Clubs} hit the turn. This time the play was checked to Shulman and he bet. Tom made the call, while the big blind got out of the way.

The {6-Clubs} was the last card to be dealt on the felt and it would see Tom check and Shulman fire out another bet. Tom called, turning over {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} as he did so, not strong enough for Shulman's {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

Burford Busts

Nicholas Muraca has managed to bust Mark Burford. It was all-in preflop for Burford, who committed his last 3,500. Muraca then took to a {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop against Dan Shak as Burford waited and watched. Muraca and Shak both checked the flop and then Shak folded on teh {3-Clubs} turn as Muraca fired out a bet.

Muraca: {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Burford: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {2-Clubs} river changed nothing, with the queen on the flop enough to send Muraca the pot and send Burford out of the tournament.

JC Tran, JC Gone

JC Tran opened the pot from late position holding {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and Ben Yu made the call on the button holding {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. The blinds got out of the way and a {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop was dealt. Tran opted to check-call a bet on the flop and did the same when a {3-Spades} hit the turn. The {k-Hearts} on the river would see Tran commit his last remaining 4,300 and Yu would take down the pot. The river can be nasty sometimes.
