Flowers Takes Some From Bonomo

Justin Bonomo remains among the chip leaders of this event, even after handing over some chips to double World Poker Tour winner Randal Flowers.

The flop read {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} when Flowers bet 5,400 from the big blind, and Bonomo called on the button. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and Flowers fired out another 9,775. Bonomo took around 15 seconds, and made the call.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and Flowers stacked his chips, and moved them into the pot. Bonomo had a sour look on his face as he double-checked his cards. Those cards flew towards the muck a few seconds later, and Flowers raked in the pot.

Bloch Runs Into Flush

We found Andy Bloch and two other players looking at a board of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Bloch and another player checked to the player on the button. The button bet out 10,475 and Bloch thought for about a minute before dropping a call in the center of the table.

The other player got out of the way and Bloch's opponent showed {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a heart flush. Bloch mucked his hand and his opponent dragged in the pot.

No Deep Run For Ivey

This happened right before the start of the dinner break, but we just found out about Phil Ivey's bustout.

The board read {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} when Ivey got put all in by one of his opponents. The eight-time WSOP bracelet winner tanked for a long time before calling, but he was no good. His opponent showed {Q-Spades}{7-Spades} and Ivey was done.

John Andress opened to 1,200 from the hijack seat, David Chiu three-bet to 3,750 from the small blind, and Andress tank-called. Both players checked after the flop fell {3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and the turn brought the {q-Clubs}. Chiu led out for 2,600, and Andress called.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board, and Chiu led again - this time for 6,600. Andress released, and Chiu picked up the pot.
