Moutinho Doubles Back

Erika Moutinho
Erika Moutinho

Right after losing most of her stack to Dwyte Pilgrim, Erika Moutinho got her remaining chips in the middle holding {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} before the flop. Moutinho was called by Jim Collopy who held {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The flop spelled disaster for Moutinho, falling {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and giving Collopy two pair. Moutinho got up from her seat and began to gather her belongings as the {10-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Much to her surprise, the {8-Spades} rolled off on the river, giving her aces up and the best hand.

The board ran out {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades} as Le's flopped set dodged the broadway draw.

A Few Chip Counts From Around The Room

Pilgrim Doubles Through Moutinho

Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

Dwyte Pilgrim opened the action by raising to 6,500 and it folded around to Erika Moutinho who moved out a three-bet from the big blind.

Pilgrim looked down at the bet to 15,500 in front of him and opted to move all in for 65,500 total. With the action back at Moutinho, Pilgrim started talking.

"Are you worried about the chips?" he said. "Dont worry about the chips, its all about the cards now."

Eventually Moutinho called with {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} but was behind the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of Pilgrim. The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} giving Pilrgrim nines full of kings and the winning hand. This hand crippled Moutinho who is now sitting around 29,000.

Cheng Can't Call Collopy

Jim Collopy
Jim Collopy

Picking up the action on an {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop between the blinds, Jim Collopy was in the small and he bet 9,000. Wai Cheng called from the big to see the {2-Hearts} turn. Collopy bet 20,000 this time, but Cheng still tagged along.

The {3-Clubs} hit the river and Collopy took about 30 seconds before sliding in a tall stack of 45 yellow T1,000 chips for a bet of 45,000. Cheng mulled it over, but opted to lay it down.
