Dinner Didn't Do the Trick for Bonomo

Justin Bonomo departed in quick fashion upon the restart.

George Lind opened to 300 and snap-called with a perfect eight when Bonomo moved in for around 1,700. Lind, Garry Gates, and dealer recalled this for us, and the dealer said Bonomo was drawing dead.

Phish and the Fish

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

A short while after Dan O'Brien was eliminated from his table, Bryan Devonshire asked Shaun Deeb, "Do you like phish, as in the band?"

Deeb answered, "I may have told you this before, and this may shock you, but I don't like music!"

Devonshire responded, "I don't know what to day."

Dan O'Corona Triples Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Remko Rinkema

"You can write whatever you want, you're the reporter," is what Dan O'Brien just said to yours truly who wanted to create the new nick name 'Dan O'Corona'.

This was after we just witnessed O'Brien triple up through the two players on his left. O'Brien took one card, as did the player to his left. We didn't catch what the third player did, but O'Brien showed {10-} {8-} {7-} {3-} {2-} for the winning hand.

"This is how you play the game," Shaun Deeb said laughing. "Fold, fold, fold, triple up. Fold, fold, fold, triple up".

Dan O'Brien is having fun today, even though his stack is still small. The added up number of Coronas he's had so far probably outnumber the total count of his chips. That's always a sign of a good time!

Who Killed The Bear?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The answer to that would be Jim Collopy. He took all of Barry Greenstein's chips to rise to around 8,000.

John Juanda was seen leaving less than a minute later, and less than a minute after that arrived some chap called Phil Helmuth.

That's the poker player circle of life right there!

Easy Game for Margets, Not so For Williams

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Leo Margets seems to be having a stress-free day, for now.

An older gentleman in the cut-off raised to 300 and called a quarter of his stack in calling her three-bet to 850 from the button. He drew one and she stood pat, then he check snap-folded to her 1,100 bet.

David Williams must wish it was that easy. He was seen picking up his bags and leaving stage left.

Peters Busts One

Donnie Peters just busted the short stack at his table, but his main profits came from Brandon Cantu who was also in the hand.

Peters raised it up to 200 from the cutoff, and Cantu opted to three-bet from the button to 600. The short stack was in the small blind, and he called all in for just 150 chips.

The all in player took three cards, Peters stood pat and Cantu took one card.

The action got checked and Peters showed {10-} {8-} {6-} {3-} {2-} . Cantu mucked his cards and the all in player was drawing live with {10-} {6-} {3-} {2-} . He caught a {K-} and busted.
