tayke2

Action folded all the way around to Alexander Queen in the small blind, and he make the call. Bastian Fischer checked his option in the big blind, and the two saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Queen tossed in a 25,000 bet, and Fischer clicked it back to 65,000. Queen raised all in, and Fischer made the call. The cards were tabled, and Queen was out in front.

Queen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Fischer: {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Queen held top pair, but he would need to fade the straight draw outs of Fischer. He did so on the turn, the {k-Diamonds}, and the river, the {10-Diamonds}. Queen doubled up to 800,000, while Fischer drops down below 500,000.

Trampota Takes Big Pot From Mattia

We didn't catch the action until the river, but we saw that Tomas Trampota and Gianluca Mattia were heads up on a board that read {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}. There was about 200,000 in the middle, and Trampota had put out a big bet of 160,000.

Mattia was deep in the tank for about three minutes before the clock was called. The floor came over to administer the one minute clock, and after about 20 seconds, Mattia slid the chips in for the call. Trampota tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for trip eights, and Mattia looked shocked before mucking his hand. He spent the next 30 seconds or so shaking his head, as the hit drops him to 750,000. Meanwhile, Trampota cracks the 1 million chip mark.

Queen Gets Caught

Action started with Tomas Junek raisint it to 35,000 in the hijack, and Alexander Queen was next to act in the cut off. He three-bet to 78,000, and Eliyahu Levy called in the small blind. Junek called as well, and the three saw a flop of {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}. It was checked to Queen, who fired out 95,000. Junek was the only one who came along, and the {q-Spades} hit the turn.

Both players checked, and the river brought the {2-Spades}, putting a fourth spade on the board. Junek took a quick peek at his cards, then checked to Queen. He thought for just about 10-15 seconds before firing out a bet of 150,000. Junek took little time in calling, and Queen said "you win". Junek tabled {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a flush, and Queen mucked his hand.

Rudy Blondeau moved all in from the button and found a caller in Michael Graydon. Blondeau was pleased to see that his {A-Spades}{j-Spades} was easily ahead of Graydon's {k-}{j-}. However anything can happen as Blondeau soon found out, after an {K-} made an appearance on the flop. Blondeau wasn't able to catch up and was sent packing

Will Failla Arrives Just in Time To Bust

"Someone told me it was 2 o'clock". This was what Will "The Thrill" Failla said as he arrived to the restart 24 minutes late. It was a brutal stroke of bad luck for Failla, who was the severe short stack to start the day. When he arrive at the table, he had just 13,000, less then one big blind. On the first hand he sat down, he was all in.

Action started with Randolph Lanosga raising it up to 35,000 under the gun. Failla called all in for his last 11,000, and it folded around to Steven Goldberg in the big blind, who made the call.

Goldberg and Lanosga checked down a board of {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, and Lanosga showed {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair of sevens. Failla showed {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for ace high, and headed to the rail in disbelief.

It should be pointed out that despite his unfortunate luck, Failla handled it very well, saying "What am I gonna do now fight about it?" Failla earned just under $19,000 for his efforts.
