Three quick stories for you and then we will head out and get you a seat draw because we are down to the final three-tables of this bad boy.
Kevin MacPhee has doubled up through Andrew Watson. Watson has 256,000 chips and MacPhee now has 160,000. Joseph Cheong just found a magical river to outdraw Hans Winzeler. The board was and Cheong showed down to drag in a 150,000 pot. Cheong is up to 450,000 and Winzeler joins the shorties at 140,000. Finally, Ilan Boujenah has been eliminated and his stack is now sitting on top of Tommy Le's stack. Le has 600,000 chips.
Daniel Hindin just scooped a monster pot off his neighbour Michael Fosco.
Hindin's remaining 240,000 were being counted by the dealer so he could cut them out of Fosco's stack. Around 80,000 had made it into the pot before the rest went in on the river of a board.
Hindin tabled for a rivered straight.
Fosco looked devastated with his messily laid out in front of him.
Tommy Le was doing his very best to catch the runaway Japanese train, and was on schedule until he ran into Chris De Maci.
At the turn the board read and there had been a bet-call between the two on the flop. Le check-called a 28,000 bet there, and a 46,000 bet on the river.
De Maci opened and won. Le was frustrated and showed as he mucked.
Joseph Cheong is starting to become a right royal pain in the gluteus for Hans Winzeler. We joined the action on a flop of with three-players in the pot. Winzeler bet 35,000 from the small blind, Cheong called under the gun and Jonas Entin folded on the button. The was checked through on the turn and we saw another queen on the river . Winzeler checked, Cheong moved two 40k stacks into the middle, with some loose change on top to make it 96,000, and Winzeler called.
"Kings full," said Cheong.
Winzeler winced and paid up his dues. Cheong tabling .
This game can very very cruel at times. At the beginning of the level Jonas Entin was sitting behind a 600,000-chip stack, ordering a massage for the beginning of the next level, and seemed generally thrilled with life.
Less than as hour later and he's been through a torrid journey that saw him double up three players, have mildly angry words with one player, get a warning for throwing his cards across the table, and then bust right at the end of the level.
His exit came at the hands of Scott Bohlman but he was crippled the hand before against Dimitar Danchev.
He opened to 16,000 and called when Danchev raised to 57,000. The flop fell and Entin led for the pot. Danchev raised the pot which put him all in, and Entin called.
Entin: for two-pair.
Danchev: for an over-pair.
The board ran out to counterfeit Entin's hand. He wasn't happy and threw his cards hard across the table.
