Timoshenko Triples Up

We just saw Yevgeniy Timoshenko triple up in the easiest way possible. He was all-in for 5,075 holding pocket aces and both of his opponents had pocket jacks. Timoshenko now has 16,000 and his opponents split the side pot, one of which was Kirill Kruglov.

Ivey Takes a Hit

We returned to the fabled table #4 to find a growing pot between Phil Ivey and Kirill Kruglov. We weren't able to catch what happened preflop, but what we do know is that on a {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop Kruglov bet out 1,800 from the big blind. The under the gun Ivey made the call, and both players got to see the turn.

With a {5-Clubs} landing on the turn we had a repeat of action when Kruglov bet out, this time 3,600. Ivey took a few moments and made the call. A river {A-Diamonds} allowed for a 7,200 bet from Kruglov. This time Ivey went into the tank pondering what his opponent might have. Three minutes of Ivey measuring out chips and sizing up his opponent went by before he threw out a call. Kruglov flipped over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} for a set of aces and Ivey stoically mucked his whole cards.

Gonsalves Put in a Strange Spot

With ten WSOP cashes to his name, Markus Gonsalves, has a lot of WSOP experience. In that time we imagine he has been put in a lot of tough spots and a lot of ridiculous spots and here is the latter.

The dealer had done his job and the board was showing {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Pantling checked to Gonsalves and he made a value bet of 3,000 leaving 20,000 behind and Pantling put him all-in.

"You haven't got the straight flush have you?" Asked Gonsalves.

It became apparent that Gonsalves had the nut flush and he tanked for a good three minutes before making the call. He was holding {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Pantling showed the bluff of {10-Spades} {8-Spades}. Despite that bluff Pantling still has 58,000 chips. Gonsalves is up to 55,000.

Elimination Station

Here is a brief synopsis of some eliminations.

James "Flushy" Dempsey has been eliminated after getting it in good. It was a 30bb pot with {A-} {K-} versus the {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} of his opponent and the flop contained more diamonds than a South African mine.

Guillaume Darcourt has been eliminated by Andrew Badecker. Badecker turning a straight with {K-} {Q-} on a {J-} {9-} {9-} {10-} board and Darcourt moved all-in with {Q-} {Q-}.

David Diaz has also been eliminated but we have not been able to ascertain the hows or whys of that one.

Turner Turned Away

A short stacked Jon Turner was found moved to the death table, and quickly opted to move all in from late position for 1,225 after action had folded around to him. Kirill Kruglov in the cut off attempted to make the call, but accidentally min raised after he threw out too many chips. Ivey folded on the button and the small blind player raised and made it a couple more thousand for Kruglov if he wanted to see a flop. Kruglov folded and cards were tabled.

Turner: {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Small Blind: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Turner was in bad shape and needed lady luck to help him out. A {3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop led to Turner politely calling for hearts, but to no avail as a {8-Clubs} landed on the turn. Turner now had a gut shot, if a nine was nice enough to grace the felt with its presence Turner would receive the double up he so very needed.
