Harding Gets Heaps

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

The flop was {3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and two players went to war.

Josh Harding opened the betting and when faced with a raise he shoved all in. His opponent asked for a count and after some delay and help from the players at the table the dealer declared the count was around 13,000. His opponent made the call asking if Harding had flopped a set of sixes.

Harding hadn’t flopped a set but his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} was ahead of the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of his opponent.

The turn {a-Diamonds} and river {8-Clubs} stayed safe and a big mound of chips was pushed Harding’s way.

Matthew Pitt, UK PokerNews Editor, WSOP blogger and self-styled short-stack ninja is out.

As he so eloquently put it, “Ace king into nines.” He couldn’t improve and his tournament was over.

However he did win $100 in the PokerNews last longer bet and is now off to sink a couple of beers and watch a few episodes of The Sopranos. He seemed happy enough.

The Rich Get Richer

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

From under the gun, a short stack moved all in for what looked like eight big blinds. One seat over, Ray Kluever made the call and all other players folded. It was {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for the shortie and {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for Kluever. The {Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} board ran out safely for the big stack and he joins the top stacks at the moment.

Dangerous Queens

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Women are always expensive and so are pocket queens at poker. James Lambert was fortunate to crack the queens of an opponent with the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on the {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board and double up for 6,500.

Only one minute later, Eric Monson took care of a short stack with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} versus {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}. After the {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs} board, he increased his stack to 30,000 in chips.

Legg Up

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Two fairly even stacks were all in preflop with Andrew Legg tabling {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} versus his opponents {2-}{2-}.

The cards ran out {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Spades} with Legg calling for the straight flush on the flop. The turned nut flush was good enough and his upset opponent pushed all the chips in a heap towards Legg.

Graunstadt Grabs ‘Em

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Two players had got to the turn of a board reading {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. One player shoved and Jay Graunstadt sighed and worried about the board pairing. He made the call though and flipped over {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, relieved to see the {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} of his opponent. The river card was the {8-Diamonds} and Graunstadt took all of his opponent’s chips.

Solomon Takes The Lead

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

What a rough end to the decent run from Corey Emery. We got four way to the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop and Emery fired 2,000. Two opponents got out of the way but Chris Solomon raised to 7,225. Emery jammed with the superior stack and was snap called:

Emery: {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Solomon: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}

Solomon didn't want to watch the action unfold and turned away. After the {J-Clubs} turn and the {10-Clubs} river, he looked towards the board again and pumped his fist. Once the stack was counted, he doubled up for 33,525 and took a huge chunk of the stack from Emery.

Lee Davy On The Rise

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Fellow blogger Lee Davy has been nursing a rather short stack for a while, eventually jamming into raises a couple of times and never being called. This way he chipped up to 17,000 already and is now up even further.

He opened the action with pocket tens on the button and the big blind defended. On a king high flop both players checked. The {7-} turn was check-called by the big blind for 1,650 and Davy then bet another 3,500 on the {K-} river after the action was checked to him. The player in the big blind called and mucked when shown the tens.
