Berende Takes Care of Bonomo

Happy_Freaked

Justin Bonomo's tournament has just ended, and it was Dutchman Paul Berende who took his last chips. Berende doubled through Bonomo earlier, and just put the nail in his coffin.

From the cutoff Bonomo raised all in for 41,000 and Berende re-shoved from the button. Both blinds folded, and it went to showdown.

Mercier Firing Barrels Against D'Angelo

donpeters

Catching up with the action on the {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} flop, Ryan D'Angelo checked his option to two-time World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Jason Mercier. Mercier slid out a bet of 7,800 and D'Angelo made the call to see the turn.

On fourth street, the {7-Spades} landed on the board and D'Angelo checked. Mercier took some time and then toppled out a bet of 22,600. Again, D'Angelo called.

The final card on the board was the {6-Clubs} and D'Angelo checked to Mercier once again. After a minute or so in the tank, Mercier slid out a bet of 58,500. This sent D'Angelo into the tank for a couple of minutes.

After a bit, D'Angelo said, "Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy."

Another few moments passed before D'Angelo continued, "No matter what I do, I'm probably gonna be wrong."

Mercier didn't move a muscle, except for the subtle ruffling of his chips he was doing with his right hand. His left hand was clenched firmly to his cards.

"What do you got, Mr. Mercier?" asked D'Angelo, but Mercier didn't respond and kept his eyes focused on the piece of felt just a few inches in front of his cards. "It's a tough game when you're playing against good players," finished D'Angelo.

D'Angelo took some more time and apologized to the table for taking so long. Paul Berende said it was fine, but the player in Seat 1 said he was going to call the clock soon. "I care, I'm short stacked," that player said with a stack of 74,500 in chips.

"At least I know I have one more minute," said D'Angelo.

After another 30 seconds or so of thought, D'Angelo tossed his hand into the mucked and Mercier was pushed the pot. D'Angelo dropped a tad below 100,000 in chips while Mercier climbed back to 234,000.

Flack Eliminates Boeree

donpeters

On the {10-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} flop, David Chiu fired 11,000 and Layne Flack made the call behind him. Liv Boeree put in a raise to 25,000 with just under 60,000 behind. Chiu took some time, then folded. After he folded, Flack immediately announced that he was all in.

Boeree didn't seem to like it, but made the call. "You've probably got jacks, but I call," she said.

Boeree: {A-Spades} {10-Hearts}
Flack: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}

"At least I've got one over," said Boeree when she saw Flack's hand.

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river the {9-Hearts} . Both missed Boeree and she was eliminated from the tournament. Flack stacked up his chips and looks to have about 335,000.

Marafioti Doubles Up

Happy_Freaked

On a {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} both Matt Marafioti and Yngve Steen checked to Darren Elias. Elias bet 6,100 and Marafioti raised it up to 16,600. Steen wasn't giving up, he counted out some chips and made it 38,800. Elias folded.

"Junior, junior," Marafioti sighed as he took out his earbuds, "Where are you from?"

Steen removed his earbuds and Marafioti repeated the question.

"Norway," Steen said.

"Oh, I guess it's a slowroll then," Marafioti replied.

"I call. I mean, I'm all in," Marafioti said, and Steen turned his cards over. The dealer wanted to point out that Marafioti had called, but both players turned their cards over, agreeing to run out the turn and river.

Steen showed {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} , and Marafioti had {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} . The turn was the {10-Clubs} , and the river the {9-Diamonds} .

"Yes! Yes!" Marafioti shouted as one of the players pointed out to Steen that he should never says he's from either Norway, Sweden, Finland or Denmark. Steen didn't seem bothered by it all, and he still has some chips left.

Berende Hurting

Happy_Freaked

It's bad. Paul Berende just got rivered in a massive pot, and he's far from happy. We just heard how, after a raise to 4,000 and a call, he three-bet to 12,900 with pocket kings. The first player folded, but the second moved all in for 88,000.

Berende snap-called this shove and was up against pocket sixes. The river brought out another six, and Berend got knocked down to 60,000 chips. He's back to the drawing board.

"You Had a Pair?"

[user101598]

Michael Benvenuti and Nick Rampone were heads up on a board of {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} . There was about 70,000 in the middle, and Benvenuti was the first to act. He tanked for a bit, then plopped 43,800 in front of him.

It was Rampone's turn to sink into the tank, and he began studying both the board and Benvenuti, who was staring at a single spot in front of him. Eventually, Rampone mucked, and he asked Benvenuti to show one card.

"Show the right one," he suggested.

Bevenuti turned over the {5-Spades} , to the surprise of tablemate Marvin Rettenmaier.

"You had a pair???" he blurted aloud, grinning.

Benvenuti chuckled as he pulled in the pot.
