Cheong Loses Jacks Full to Nasser's Jacks Full

Chad Holloway

Action folded to Joseph Cheong on the button and he raised to 13,000. Sami Nasser defended from the big blind, and both players checked the flop. When the appeared on the turn, Nasser check-called a bet of 37,000, and then bet 37,000 on the river.

Cheong responded by thrusting out two large stacks of yellow T1,000 chips, which constituted a raise to 81,000. A call was made and Cheong rolled over for jacks full of deuces, but it was no good against Nasser's rivered jacks full of queens.

subiime Joseph Cheong Running great. Got boat over boated and somehow still in. 20bbs June 29 2012

Lee Doubles Through Gohr

Dan O'Hair

We caught up just before the dealer shipped Ronald Lee the pot, but it appeared Lee had gotten all in preflop with {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} against the {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} of Sebastian Gohr. The board read {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {A-Spades} - leaving Lee with trip aces for the scoop.

Lee is up to 190,000 while Gohr is down to his last 50,000.

Smith Nursing Half the Average

Chad Holloway

Reza Tabatabai opened for 12,000 from middle position and received a call from Gavin Smith in the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way, and it was heads-up action to the {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {9-Spades} flop.

Tabatabai was first to act and fired out 14,000, which Smith called fairly quickly. When the {4-Hearts} turned, Tabatabai kept the pressure on by upping his bet to 27,000. This time Smith, who was enjoying a massage, gently slide his cards to the dealer and gave up on the hand.

Lee Finishes Gohr Off

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

After recently doubling through Sebastian Gohr and leaving him short, Ronald Lee has sent Gohr to the rail.

In what would be his last hand of the tournament, action folded around to Gohr on the button, who went all in for his last 59,000. Ronald Lee asked for a count from the big blind and announced, "Call," to put Gohr at risk.

Gohr: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Lee: {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

Gohr was in good shape to double, however the {5-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {4-Spades} flop left Lee with a pair of kings and a commanding lead. The {4-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river changed nothing and Gohr was eliminated.

Lee is up to 290,000 after that one.

Puchkov Triples, Hays Collects Side & Rule Busted

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Chad Holloway

Foster Hays raised to 13,500 and picked up two callers, Rocky Rule and Konstantin Puchkov on the button and big blind respectively. When the flop fell {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} , Puchkov committed his short stack, Hays moved all in over the top, and Rule called off, creating a sizable side pot between the latter two.

Showdown
Puchkov: {9-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}
Rule: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Hays: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Rule had flopped top pair while Puchkov held an open-ended straight draw, but they were both behind the pocket rockets of Hays. The {10-Hearts} turn was of no consequences, but the {J-Clubs} river was as it gave Puchkov a straight and the triple; meanwhile, Hays' aces sent Rule to the rail.
