Divine Dodges Outs

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

Rulah Divine raised to 4,400 from under the gun. Roseana Tidball made the call from two seats away. The rest of the table folded and the two took a flop. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Divine bet out a healthy 10,500. This prompted Tidball to push all in which was met by a snap call by Divine. Divine showed {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for top pair top kicker, while Tidball had a lot of outs with the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Tidball would need a diamond. The turn came the {10-Clubs} giving Tidball some more outs. But the river {2-Hearts} was not one of them and Tidball was eliminated.

As for Divine, he moved up to 80,000 after the hand.

Lew Doubles Without Being at Risk

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Randy Lew
Randy Lew

Randy Lew opened to 4,000 from the under-the-gun plus two position and was confronted with a push from the player on the button for 27,000. His neighbor, the player in the small blind, wanted an exact count and then made the call after some moments of thinking. The player in the big blind folded and the table stared at Lew who's move it was. Lew checked how much the small blind had behind (around 60,000 it looked like) and pushed all in for 66,100 total. The odds were good for the small blind but after about two minutes of thinking he decided to fold for the 39,100 more.

Lew showed his {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and was up against {A-Spades}{8-Spades}. The {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop was rather harmless but the {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave the player on the button four clean outs to beat Lew. The {2-Diamonds} on the river was a blank though and Lew eliminated a player - almost doubling in the process.

Lieu Bluffs Off Good Chunk

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

On a flop of {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} Paul Lieu bet out 4600. His opponent made the call after checking to Lieu on the flop. Lieu's opponent then fired 8,000 on the turn of the {6-Hearts}. Lieu postured what to do but eventually found the call. The river came the {9-Hearts}. Lieu had the option after his opponent checked. Lieu then put his opponent to the test by putting his opponent all in.

If he could do it again Lieu probably would not push because his opponent called and Lieu had a bluff with {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. His opponent made the nice call with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Lieu lost a good chunk of his stack and he sailed down to 36,500.

Clark Busts Terry

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Todd Terry
Todd Terry

From the cut off position it was Todd Terry who shoved for 18,900. Zach Clark on the button seemed interested and asked for an exact count. After finding out how much it was exactly, he made the call. Maybe he tried to lure in the small blind and big blind but both were happy to release immediately.

Clark showed his {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and was well in front of Terry's {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} on the flop gave Terry some runner runner possibilities but he was drawing to just an ace after the {9-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {K-Spades} on the river wasn't one of them and Terry departed in 98th place.

Grodin Almost Triples

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

Leslie Grodin started the day with just 5,000 in chips but she's hanging on. From the 216 players who started the day, the tournament is already down to it's last 100 players. Grodin is still one of them and just got her double up. She was all in for just 5,900 with {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and the big blind called blind with {J-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Because of the high blinds and andtes Grodin almost tripled when she dodged the jacks: {3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} | {Q-Diamonds} | {10-Diamonds}.
