Pim De Goede
Pim De Goede

When we walked up to the table there was a massive amount of chips in from of Pim de Goede, and an opponent. Ryan Olisar was contemplating calling what seemed to be 15,000 preflop bet by Goede and a call from his opponent. Olisar elected to fold and De Goede and his opponent took to the flop.

{a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} on the flop and De Goede put his opponents remaining 4,000 in. His opponent called and the cards were flipped.

De Goede: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

De Goede just needed to avoid a jack and he would be good. Turn {10-Diamonds} river {8-Spades}. De Goede eliminated his opponent and he is up to 54,000 in chips.

Vinsant Eliminates One

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

Jeremiah Vinsant has two cashes already this series, he came 85th in Event #4 for $3,117 and 132nd in the "Millionaire Maker" for $7,278. It should be no surprise that he got his money in good preflop with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} against his opponent's {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The board fell {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Vinsant's run good is still intact.

Eights Beat Aces

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante
Amnon Filippi
Amnon Filippi

Amnon Filippi and his opponent were all in preflop and Filippi had his opponent crushed.

Filippi: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

It looked good for Filippi to double but it was not to be as his opponent flopped a set of 8's with the board {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}. No help on the turn {3-Spades} or river {10-Diamonds}. Filippi was gone as his chair fell over and mumbled under his breath talking about the bad beat.
