Dutch Doubles One Up

We found Dutch Boyd call the all in of a short stacked opponent before the flop. Boyd's opponent was all in for about 2,100 and held {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs} which was crushing Boyd's {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

The board fell {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Spades} and Boyd was forced to ship a small chunk of chips over to his opponent. He's still sitting on a more than healthy stack, however.

Cajelais Crushing

We found Erik Cajelais sitting on a massive stack in the Red section of the Brasilia room. Action folded to Cajelais in the small blind and he eyed up the big blind's stack before dropping a massive stack of chips into the middle. The big blind flung his hand away quickly and Cajelais added to his tower of chips.

Cajelais is currently sitting on about 27,000.

Bonding Over Twenty

While walking past Lars Bonding's table we saw him throw out a three-bet on top of an opponent's raise to 400. His opponent four-bet all in and Bonding called, tabling {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

Bonding was racing with his opponent who showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Bonding jumped into the lead on the {2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop and retained his lead through the {10-Hearts} turn and the {9-Spades} river.

Bonding is now sitting on a stack of roughly 21,000.
