Brammer Cracks Deeb's Aces

Shaun Deeb
Shaun Deeb

Shaun Deeb was all in earlier from the small blind, and when Sean Getzwiller folded his big blind he turned over pocket aces. Getzwiller started laughing as Deeb didn't get action on his big hand with very little chips behind.

Just now Deeb moved all in for 31,000 and the action was folded to Christopher Brammer. Brammer was in the small blind, and he thought the action had folded to him. The Brit raised to 11,000, and the floor was called over to rule if he had to call, or if he was able to pull his chips back. The floor said his 11,000 would stay, but that he still had the option wether or not to call. Brammer called.

Thijmen Stocker was in the big blind, he hesitated but laid his hand down.

"I was gonna call anyway," Brammer apologized, as he wanted to make sure everyone understood he was not angle shooting.

Christopher Brammer{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

"I only play aces," Deeb said as Layne Flack came over to watch this all in.

The flop rolled out {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and both Deeb and Flack were disgusted. The turn and river, {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}, didn't help Deeb who left the building empty-handed.

Tens Kind to Chartier, Not to Patel

According to Sam Chartier, Dan Smith raised to 8,500 from under the gun, Chartier three-bet to 20,000 on the button, and Smith moved all in for about 100,000. Chartier called with two tens, and Smith had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. There was a ten on the flop, and the turn and river were both bricks, eliminating Smith from the tournament.

At an adjacent table, Hiren "Sunny" Patel was all in with pocket tens against Yevgeniy Timoshenko's pocket kings. Patel was unable to catch up, and was eliminated.

A Careful Clock

Before the level change, "King" Dan Smith, Shaun Deeb, and Sam Chartier were in a hand with the board reading {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Smith led out for 12,500, and both Deeb and Chartier called.

The {9-Hearts} compacted the board, and Smith led again - this time for 24,000. Deeb tank-folded, and the action was on Chartier. He tanked for a very long time, and during the tank, the dealer was shuffling two of the mucked cards together.

"Please be careful," Smith told him. "You can almost see that card."

The dealer stopped. Chartier continued to tank, and eventually Smith called the clock. Chartier used fifty-one seconds of the one-minute clock before folding his hand.

Stocker on a Tear

Thijmen Stocker
Thijmen Stocker

Thijmen Stocker just jumped up to third place on the leader board after knocking out Alexander Nudin, and hurting Sam Chartier. The Dutchman already has a cash at this year's World Series of Poker when he finished 11th in the $1,500 Six-Handed event, and he's looking to add another.

First Stocker won a serious pot off Chartier, who saw his bluff fail. Stocker told us how he raised from middle position, and Chartier defended his big blind. The flop came down {9-}{6-}{3-} with two spades and Chartier checked. Stocker bet 8,000 and Chartier raised it up to 18,000. Stocker called.

On the turn the {A-Hearts} hit, and Chartier bet 25,000. Stocker called, and the river was the {10-Diamonds}. Chartier took another stab and bet 52,000, but Stocker wasn't folding. Chartier mucked, and Stocker showed his {5-Spades}{6-Spades}.

On the next hand Stocker raised under the gun, and the action was folded to Nudin who three-bet to 16,000 from the big blind. Stocker moved all in, and Nudin made the call for around 88,000 total.

Alexander Nudin{A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Thijmen Stocker{K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and Nudin was eliminated. Stocker is now one of the chip leaders.

Double KO...OMG

Two players were all in and at risk against Fernando Brito, who recently finished 3rd in Event 46: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em, moments ago. One player held {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}, the other {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, and Brito had {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} flop gave Brito a full house, but he could still lose to running aces, running kings, or running nines.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal however, and a meaningless {8-Hearts} completed the board. Brito scored a double knockout, and is now flirting with 400,000 chips.
