Crane Doubles Through Olisar

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Russell Crane
Russell Crane

Action folded around to Russell Crane in the cutoff who opened to 4,000. Ryan Olisar answered on the button by bumping it up to 9,200 with Crane calling.

Crane check called the flop {j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} when Olisar continued for 7,700. Crane checked again on the {6-Hearts} turn. Olisar made it 20,000 to go and Crane eventually moved all in. Olisar called and showed {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Crane {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} for a set. The {q-Spades} river didn't change anything and Crane doubled up.

Dobson Eliminates Charette, Moves Among Chip Leaders

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Just before break Benjamin Dobson moved among the top stacks in the room, and he did so by eliminated Simon Charette in stunning fashion.

Preflop, Dobson made a three bet to 8200. On the button Charette made a four nd to bet to 15,900. Action folded back around to Dobson who moved all in after about a minute of thinking. Charette didn't take long to make the call.

Dobson: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Charette: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The flop was good for Charette when it fell {7-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} leaving Dobson drawing to a {10-} or runner runner outs. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} though, giving Dobson some of those runner runner outs. The river completed that draw when it fell the {8-Hearts} eliminating Charette from the tournament.

Dobson is now well over 100,000 chips and looks to be one of the leaders in the room.

Micon Creating A Castle

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We came to the action with the flop of {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} already on the board. Bryan Micon, the small blind, check called the 4,200 bet from the player on the button. Both players checked the {10-Spades} turn. The {7-Hearts} river caused both players to think and eventually check. Micon turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a set and the button's hand went into the muck. Micon has more material to add to his creative chip castle.

Serock Rocked

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We didn't see the all of the action but on a board of {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} Joe Serock was cutting out chips to send over to his opponent who was holding {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the second nut flush.

Serock is down to just about 13 big blinds after that hand.

Hunichen At It Again

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Christopher Hunichen
Christopher Hunichen

Fresh off his recent final table in Event #6: $1,500 "Millionaire Maker" No-Limit Hold'em, Christopher Hunichen is at it again.

"I just final tabled the Millionaire Maker," he told his table. "So you know I'm running hot."

We just saw him eliminate another player and move even higher up the chip counts today, distancing himself even further from the field.

Preflop, a player moved all in for 26,000. Hunichen moved all in over the top of that bet and everyone else folded.

Hunichen: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
All In: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board came {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} giving Hunichen another notch in his belt and even more chips to pad his stack with. Hunichen is surely looking to improve upon his sixth place finish in the Millionaire Maker with another final table in this event.
