Bonomo Busts One

Justin Bonomo
Justin Bonomo

The flop read {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Bonomo had just bet out 13,000 we assume after his earlier positioned opponent had bet out, but we don't know for sure. After about 20 seconds of staring at Bonomo's bet the early position player moved all in and Bonomo quickly called.

Bonomo: {K-}{k-}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The {j-Clubs} then made an appearance on the turn changing nothing. All Bonomo had to do was avoid an eight and he would essentially double up as the two players were almost even in chips with Bonomo holding the slight advantage.

The {5-Clubs} then landed on the river and sealed the deal, eliminating the early position player.

A Few Chip Counts from the Brasilia Red Section

Easy Game For Moon

2009 Main Event Runner Up Darvin Moon open limped from under the gun, which started a trail of callers from the player directly behind him, the player in the hijack seat, the button and the small blind. The big blind checked his option for a six-way pot.

The flop came {J-}{3-}{7-} and both players in the blinds checked to Moon, who fired 1,200 into the middle. One-by-one each of his opponents folded and Moon scooped the pot hassle free.

Moon is up to 75,000.

Singer In The Rain

Eugene Katchalov opened to 800 only to have David Singer move all in over the top for 4,650 total. It folded back to Katchalov and he moved out a call.

Katchalov: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Singer: {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

We were off to the races and Katchlov kept his lead on the {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. The {K-Clubs} on the turn was no help to Singer either and he would need an ace or a ten that wasn't a heart to stay alive. The {4-Spades} fell and he was sent to the rail while Katchalov is now flirting with 100,000 in chips.

Boeree Able to Leap Tall Chip Stacks In a Single Bound

Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Liv Boeree was moved into the Purple section of the Amazon room just after Level 4 began, swooping in to an empty seat at Table 434. Boeree is sporting a blue Superman shirt today, and began the business of conquering her foes immediately after arriving.

With the board showing {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} and 9,500 in the pot already, Boeree watched her opponent check from the blinds, then proceeded to bet 5,100. Her opponent then check-raised all in for 12,000, and faster than a locomotive Boeree called.

Boeree's opponent showed {A-Spades}{3-Spades} for treys plus a flush draw, while Boeree showed {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for the made straight. The river was the {9-Clubs}, another player has fallen, and Boeree added more chips to her stack.

Steicke Sinks Seiver

We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. There was about 9,000 in the middle, and Scott Seiver bet out 6,000. David Steicke, his lone opponent, was on the button, and he tossed in a raise to 14,000. Seiver grabbed his water bottle, and started to take a few sips as he thought about his decision. Seiver spent about 90 seconds in the tank before kicking his cards in, shaking his head while he did so.

That hand knocked Seiver down to 43,000 while Steicke shot up to 88,000.

Sun Tanned Updates

Here is a slew of counts from the Tan Section.

Chip Counts from the Brasilia Silver Section

Farha Thriving

Action folded to Sam Farha who limped from the cutoff. Ryan Lenaghan followed suit on the button. The small blind completed and Vanessa Selbst checked her option out of the big.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} and the small blind checked. Selbst took the first stab at the pot with a bet of 800. Farha and Lenaghan both called and the small blind folded.

The {3-Hearts} turned and Selbst slowed down, checking her option to Farha. Farha bet 4,500 and Lenaghan called. This time Selbst opted to muck her cards and we were heads up to fifth street.

The board completed by pairing the board with the {3-Hearts}. Farha bet 7,000 and Lenaghan called. Farha showed the {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a turned straight and Lenaghan mucked his hand.

Farha is now sitting pretty with over 100,000 in chips.
