Draper Suprised to Sccop With Queens

Wellington Draper was happy, if a little surprised, to win with a lonely pair of queens in a three-way pot.

He opened to 12,000 from early position and was called a player in the next seat, and by Thayer Rasmussen one more seat along.

He continued for 6,000 on the {2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop and was called in one spot before Rasmussen raised to 12,000. Both players called and the action fizzled out from there as the {6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} turn and river were checked down.

Draper opened {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and took the pot as both opponents mucked.

Lenaghan Sends Shak Out The Door

Dan Shak
Dan Shak

We just asked Ryan Lenaghan what happened to Dan Shak and he told us the following. On a {7-}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop Shak got his money in with {A-Spades}{3-}{7-Spades}{Q-} against Lenaghan's {A-}{2-}{8-}{9-}. The turn was a {5-} giving Lenaghan both the nut low and high. The river was the {J-Diamonds} which didn't help Shak who quietly left the tournament as Lenaghan shoots up the leader board.

Bad for Boyd

Dutch Boyd has a big task in front of him if he's going to get back in this. He was getting an amazing price to make a river call, but if you don't have the goods, you don't have the good.

The action folded around to Boyd in the small blind and he and the big blind went to war. It ended up with Boyd four-bet calling a five-bet for 25,000. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Boyd led for 5,000. Call.

The {9-Diamonds} came and Boyd check-called 10,000 to see the {k-Diamonds} river. He checked again and tank-folded to a 10,000 bet.

The big blind allowed him to pick two cards and {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} were tabled. This caused Chris Conrad and other to laugh and the big blind was good enough to show his other two cards - {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

Yakovenko's Run Ends

Nikolai Yakovenko started the day as the tournament chip leader but he is no longer in the tournament. Can Kim Hua raised to 8,000 and Yakovenko made it 12,000 from the big blind with 3,500 left behind. Hua put in the extra chips and we got to see an all-in showdown.

Can Kim Hua{A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Nikolai Yakovenko{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} giving Hua a flush and the entire pot. Yakovenko is out of here and we are down to 43 players.

Negreanu is Busto

Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

Negreanu's seat was empty and we had to ask the players at his former table what happened. John Racener, Mikhail Petrov and Gavin Griffin were all paying attention and brought us up to speed.

Negreanu mucked at showdown with {7-}{4-}{2-}{2-}{q-} on the board when his opponent showed {A-}{2-}{3-}{7-} for the nut low and a full house. Unlucky for Negreanu who got his second cash of this year's WSOP and will probably be back tomorrow when the $5,000 Seven Card Stud tournament will be played.
