Watson On The Rail

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Mike Watson was up to more than 40,000 after his previous triple-up, but then had to give up a pot on the flop to lose some of that accrued profit. We just walked past his Table 445 and his seat was empty. Upon asking Taylor Paur, he confirmed that Watson had been eliminated and Fabrice Soulier did so as well.

It was Andrey Kirillov, who got the chips with {A-}{A-}{x-}{x-} after Watson got it in preflop with {A-}{K-}{K-}{3-}. There was no help on a dry board and the MTT grinder was sent to the rail.

We arrived at the table with approximately 22,000 in the pot and a bet of 12,000 in front of Fabrice Soulier on a {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades} board, His opponent, Taylor Paur, mulled over his decision for nearly a minute before deciding to fold. That pot moved Soulier's stack to 185,000 and he is the clear chip leader at this point.

Pahuja Wins with Aces vs. Aces

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Vinnie Pahuja and his table neighbor got it in preflop and Pahuja was at risk for his last 26,600 with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The opponent also had {A-}{A-} with {8-}{3-} as kicker cards. But the {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} runout made Pahuja a straight with his two kickers, and Pahuja won the pot.

Humphrey Flops It Again

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

The cards were already rushed away and Erick Lindgren joked "That's Matthew!" when he won yet another huge pot. He'd flopped the nut flush; Lindgren and the player in Seat 2 were still in. After a blank turn, the player in Seat 2 got the remainder of his stack in with a set and second-nut flush, only to brick the river.

"Please mention his acting abilities on the turn," Lindgren said with a smile after not taking the bait and folding after the turn. The knocked-out player even hurried away from the table without touching his drink, which looked like a Bloody Mary.

"Here is a free drink if you want it," Lindgren said.

Sorry, but we can't while on duty. But thanks for the offer.

Hall "Tilted" After Chop

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Devon Shalmi and Galen Hall got it in after the {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop and Hall was ahead with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for top two versus Shalmi's {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. The {Q-Spades} turn seemingly put a lock on the pot for Hall, but the {A-Hearts} river let them chop the pot.

"See, we got it in flipping and chopped, but now I am tilted after seeing the turn," Hall said, laughing.
