Galfond Eliminates Abou Risk

Level 4 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond opened with a raise and Nick Abou Risk responded by moving all in. Galfond made a quick called with the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, which was well out in front of Abou Risk's pocket fives. The board ran out clean, and that was all she wrote for Abou Risk.

That leaves Galfond to battle Stewart Newman heads up over at Table 356 with the latter holding a near 2-1 chip lead.

Daneshgar and Brikis Tangle in Big Pot

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With nearly 22,000 in the pot and a board of {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Sylvain Loosli bet 10,000 from the small blind and Josh Brikis called him from the big. When the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Loosli put together a big bet of 25,000 and slid it forward.

Brikis tossed in a single chip to signify a call, and Loosli rolled over the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for the ace-high flush. Brikis shook his head in disgust and showed the {k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for the king-high flush.

Dylan Linde Doubles Through Jake Cody

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Dylan Linde
Dylan Linde

Dylan Linde raised to 2,500 on the button, Jake Cody three-bet to 7,700 from the big blind and Linde four-bet to 16,000. Cody called and the flop came down {Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Cody check-called 12,000 from Linde, the {7-Hearts} turned and Cody check-called another 28,000 from Linde. The {6-Diamonds} river completed the board and Cody checked for a third time. Linde quietly announced all in (for 42,800) after a few moments and Cody called after a few seconds.

Linde tabled {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours, Cody mucked and Linde scored the double up to take the chip lead in their heads-up match.

Abou Risk Tries to Put Galfond At Risk

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

It seems both Phil Galfond and Nick Abou Risk were able to take a few chips from Stewart Newman since the last time we visited Table 356, and the two just locked horns in a pot.

We caught the action on a {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop when Galfond checked from the small blind and Abou Risk bet 2,500. Galfond made the call and then checked again when the {8-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Abou Risk bet again, this time 6,600, but he couldn't shake Galfond. When the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Galfond checked for a third time and Abou Risk moved all in for right around 35,000.

That time it worked as Galfond sent his cards to the dealer.

Newman Continues to Dominate Table 356

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With around 9,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Phil Galfond checked from the big blind and Stewart Newman bet 3,200 from the button. Galfond responded with an all-in check-raise to 25,000 total, and Newman didn't like it.

"I had a feeling you might do that," he admitted. He then hit the tank for a couple of minutes. "It's really close," he added a few moments before folding.
