Cada Folds River

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found three players including Joe Cada looking down at {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} on the felt. The first player checked and Cada fired 4,800. The player on the button stuck around and the first player folded.

The {7-Clubs} brought a second pair on the board on the river and Cada check-folded after his opponent pushed out a large stack of yellow t1,000 chips.

Cada is now sitting around 42,000.

Lindley Hanging On But Short

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Christina Lindley is not afraid to put pressure on her opponents. Even if she has a short stack. The button raised to 1,000 and Lindley put in her last 6,750. Her opponent who had nearly 40,000 folded even though the bet was not much more. Im sure Lindley was still happy to be able to push around the big stacks. She has 8,450 in chips.

Duhamel Grinding

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Duhamel has been steadily grinding upward. He recently eliminated a player holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against an opponents {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. The board came {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and ace-high with a king kicker was good enough. Duhamel is treading upward and now has 37,000.

Liu Continues To Build Her Stack

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Action was folded to Xuan Liu in the cutoff and she raised to 800 with only the player in the big blind calling.

The big blind check called Liu's bet of 1,025 on a flop of {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

The {2-Diamonds} turn also saw the big blind check call Liu's bet - this time of 2,400.

The {4-Clubs} river prompted Liu to go all in after the big blind checked for the third time. After some thought the big blind folded and Liu won the pot without a showdown.

Esfandiari Out

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We caught up to the table to find Antonio Esfandiari all in and at risk before the flop holding {A-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Esfandiari was racing with an opponent's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} heading to the flop.

Unfortunately for the Magician, he ran into quads onthe {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. The {10-Clubs} and the {7-Clubs} finished off the board and he was forced to make his way to the rail.
