Duhamel Takes Some From Grafton

We caught up to see the board reading {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} with over 7,000 in the pot. Sam Grafton checked to 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel who fired 4,650 into the center. Grafton called quickly and the {7-Clubs} fell on the river.

Grafton checked once more and Duhamel tossed out two orange t5,000 chips announcing a bet of 8,450. It was at this point that Grafton went into the tank. Grafton thought for over two minutes before throwing away his cards, allowing Duhamel to grab the pot.

Maimone In Control

Nick Maimone is still stacking a massive pile of chips after picking off a bluff from Igor Kurganov moments ago.

We caught up with the two staring at a board of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Maimone had checked over to Kurganov, who pushed his remaining 18,000 chips in the middle. Maimone took little time to make the call and he flipped over {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Kurganov tossed his hand into the muck, but per WSOP rules the dealer had to reveal his {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

Kurganov made his way to the rail, and Maimone is now our leader with around 140,000.

Marafioti Knocks Out Adeniya

On a {2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop the action was checked to Martins Adeniya who bet 1,500 from the button. Matt Marafioti decided to raise it up to 3,750 and the third player folded. Adeniya tanked for a bit, and called.

The turn was the {9-Hearts} and Marafioti bet 10,000, which was almost enough to put his opponent all in. Adeniya pushed for 13,000 and Marafioti snap-called with {J-Spades}{8-Spades}. Adeniya turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, and the river was the {7-Hearts}.

Adeniya was eliminated and Marafioti is back up to over the starting stack.

Pires Busts Chan

Joao Pires opened the action with a raise to 800 and Vanessa Rousso called from the button. It folded to Terrence Chan in the big blind and he three-bet to 3,100. Pires would not be bullied, however, as he four-bet to 8,100. Rousso shot her hand to the muck quite quickly and action was back on Chan.

Chan counted all of his chips before five-betting all in. Pires snap called and the hands were shown:

Chan: {A-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Pires: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Chan was unable to improve, sending him to the rail and boosting Pires' stack to 108,000.

Maimone Busts Negreanu

"That was fun! I'm going to play PLO 8," Daniel Negreanu said to us as he rushed out of the Brasilia Room. We made our way over to his former table to discover that Nick Maimone had busted Kid Poker and added more to his ever-increasing chip stack.

Maimone told us that he opened with a preflop raise and Negreanu moved all in for around 7,000 with {K-}{Q-}. Maimone called with {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and won the flip to send Negreanu over to play the 5:00 PM tournament. Maimone now boasts a stack of around 160,000.

Stein Bests Barbero

We found Sam Stein open the action to 800 only to have Nacho Barbero three-bet to 3,200 from the button. Stein called and the two saw {3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} fall on the flop.

Both players checked the flop and the {Q-Spades} landed on fourth street. Stein checked and Barbero bet out 2,700. Stein put in a raise and Barbero's hand instantly hit the muck. The action happened so fast that we were not even able to gather the amount of the raise because Stein was able to pull it back so quickly.

Stein is currently sitting at 44,000.
