Comeback Time For Elezra

No-Limit Hold'em

Eli Elezra was knocked all the way down to just 900 chips when he started his comeback. Right before the start of the break we saw him all in for 2,150 and Chino Rheem was his only opponent.

The board ran out {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}, giving Elezra another double up.

More Counts

Van der Fluit Leads The Way

Vincent van der Fluit, winner of the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha, has just busted another player. He grabbed the chip lead, and is cruising along in this event.

Van der Fluit told us he raised under the gun to 1,000 in No-Limit Hold'em, and a short stack pushed for his final 5,100. Van der Fluit told us this player had just folded in a big pot, and because of that he was more inclined to make the call.

Van der Fluit's opponent tabled {J-}{10-Spades} and the Dutchman was ahead with {K-}{Q-}. The flop brought out {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}, but the turn and river bricked giving Van der Fluit some more chips to work with.

A Few Counts

Easy Double Up For Matusow

No-Limit Hold'em

We caught the action on a {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} board when Mike Matusow checked to Chris Tryba who bet 1,775. Matusow played with his chips for a while before announcing he was all in. The raise was for about 10,000 extra chips, and Tryba almost called intantly.

Mike Matusow{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Chris Tryba{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Matusow was in superb shape, and he doubled up when the {K-Clubs} hit the river. Matusow seemed flustered by what just happened, but he happily stacked his new chips.

Sharaskin Busts Kassin

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we reached Table 389, the board read {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Charles Kassin's hand was pulled into the muck, and Igor Sharaskin's hand lay open in front of him. Sharaskin's {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} was good enough for the knockout, and Kassin was sent to the rail.

Elezra Takes Another Hit

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

Eli Elezra raised in middle position, Peter Ippolito three-bet from the blinds, and Elezra called. Ippolito stood pat, Elezra drew two, and Ippolito immediately bet. Elezra called.

Ippolito stood pat, and Elezra drew two, flashing two black jacks before mucking. Ippolito bet, and Elezra called.

Ippolito stood pat a third time, and Elezra drew one. Ippolito checked, and Elezra checked behind.

"Eighty-seven," Ippolito announced, tabling {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}.

Elezra mucked, and his stack is still slipping.

Rikard Aberg Makes His Presence Known

Rikard Aberg
Rikard Aberg

Rikard Aberg has been in poker media for a very long time, and this event is his chance at world-wide poker glory. Aberg managed to survive Day 1 with 16,800 chips, and after a few orbits he managed to chip up just a little. We caught two hands he was involved in during Omaha-8.

Joe Keuther raised it up, Aberg called from the small blind and Raymond Davis three-bet from the big blind. Both Keuther and Aberg called giving of three-way action on the flop.

The flop came down {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Aberg checked, Davis bet and both his opponents called. On the turn the {10-Clubs} hit and again Davis was the one betting, Keuther and Aberg called. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and the same process was repeated once more.

Keuther turned over {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the nut low, Aberg showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a full house and Davis tabled his {A-}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades}. We missed the suit of Davis' ace, but his hand was no good. The pot was split between Aberg and Keuther, and Davis was left very unhappy.

"Make sure you write that down correctly, he just called three-bets pre flop with queen-queen-six-deuce," Davis said.

"I don't know what I'm doing," Aberg said smiling sarcastically.

"I figured that's how you got your chips," Davis added, who wasn't happy with the way this hand played out.

On the very next hand Rep Porter raised, Aberg called on the button and Hasan Habib moved all in from the big blind. Porter and Aberg both called.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Porter bet and Aberg called. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Porter bet, Aberg called. On the river the {Q-Diamonds} hit and Porter bet again. Aberg didn't seem too happy but called. Porter showed {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and took down the whole pot, Habib mucked and went straight to the $25,000 One Drop satellite.

"Want to Chop?"

Omaha-8

The action folded to Eli Elezra in the small blind, who turned to Matt Smith who was in the big.

"Want to chop?" Elezra said, grinning.

He called, Smith checked, and the flop came down {6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Elezra led out, and Smith called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}, and Elezra slowed down, checking to Smith who bet. Elezra called, and the river brought the {k-Spades}. Elezra checked, and Smith bet. Elezra called.

Smith tabled {j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a seven-high straight, and Elezra silently mucked.
