Jaffe Eliminated by Wasserson

Level 1 : 300/600, 100 ante

From under the gun, Jonathan Jaffe raised to 1,200. Eric Wasserson reraised to 3,200 from the small blind, and Jaffe called to see the flop come down {K-}{Q-}{10-} rainbow. Wasserson led with a bet of 2,000, Jaffe raised to 4,000, and Wasserson moved all in. Jaffe called off his last 12,000 or so with {K-}{9-}, but was behind Wasserson's {A-}{K-}.

The turn and river were both jacks, and Wasserson won the pot to send Jaffe to the rail.

Kamel Jams On Brenes

Level 1 : 300/600, 100 ante

On the {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, Humberto Brenes had 17,000 in front of him as a bet or raise, and his opponent, Tamer Kamel, was all in. With 32,000 behind, Brenes tanked.

"Oooohhhh, my friend!" Brenes let out with a big sigh while tanking.

Eventually, the man long known as "The Shark" folded, and Kamel won the pot.

Trip Sixes Give Newman Big Lead On Table 356

Level 2 : 400/800, 100 ante

Stewart Newman now holds a big lead over his opponents on Table 356 after taking a good-sized pot from online juggernaut Phil Galfond with trip sixes.

Galfond fired a bet of 7,600 on the {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board, and Newman made the call to see the {3-Clubs} land on the river. Galfond began counting out chips and slid forward 16,200. Newman called immediately.

Galfond tabled the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, but it was no good to Newman's {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.
