Everyone Jamming

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

No we are not talking Bob Marley here. The first three hands after the break have all been all-in's.

Ken Fishman, Joseph Kuether and Luis Campelo have all jammed and taken blinds and antes.

Ken Fishman is Eliminated in 5th Place ($116,072)

Ken Fishman - 5th
Ken Fishman - 5th

In what turned out to be the 4th all-in since the dinner break we eventually had a call and the inevitable showdown. When it happened it was Ken Fishman who shoved and Joseph Kuether who made the call.

Kuether{A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Fishman{Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}

Board: {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {3-Clubs}

No jack for Fishman and he leaves us in 5th place. Kuether extends his lead at the top.

Nghi Van Tran Getting Back Into The Groove

Nghi Van Tran is trying to shake off the cobwebs of defeat that were just smothered over him by Will Jaffe. Jaffe raised to 120,000 on the button and Tran called in the big blind. The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Tran check-called a 135,000 Jaffe bet. The turn of {7-Hearts} was checked through and action continued on the {10-Hearts} river. It was Tran who led for 150,000 and Jaffe folded.

Then in the next hand Joseph Kuether raised to 120,000 on the button and Tran three-bet to 230,000 from the small blind to close off the action.

Kuether and Campelo Take Pots

Joseph Kuether limped on the button and both Nghi Van Tran and Luis Campelo called in the blinds. The flop was {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} and Kuether bet 60,000 once checked to and only Tran made the call. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Tran folded once Kuether had fired his second salvo.

Then Nghi Van Tran raised to 135,000 on the button, Luis Campelo shoved from the small blind (for around 680,000), Will Jaffe tank-folded in the big blind and Tran also laid down the hand.

Kuether Takes One from Tran

Joseph Kuether raised from the button to 120,000, Nghi Van Tran in the small blind was the only one willing to make the call, and we had two people to the flop.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Tran started the action off with a check. Kuether then bet out 100,000 and Tran raised to 250,000. Kuether made the call and the {7-Spades} fell on fourth street. It was here that Tran bet out 425,000, Kuether again made the call.

The {j-Spades} on the river saw Tran bet a meager bet of 100,000. Kuether brought out a raise of 600,000 and placed it in the middle. Tran took a few moments off the clock, and folded.

Luis Campelo Doubles Once More

Joseph Kuether raised in the cutoff, Nghi Van Tran three-bet on the button and Luis Campelo moved all-in from the small blind. Kuether folded and Tran made the call. It was another flip and Campelo was quite good at winning these…

Campelo{A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}
Tran{Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Flop: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {3-Hearts}

The Brazilian rail go crazy once more and yet again Campelo doubled up.

Turn: {J-Clubs}

"Ten, ten, ten," shouted some parts of the rail.

River: {7-Diamonds}

That's it! Campelo has found another double up, and Tran loses yet another flip!
