Oh My, What a River

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the action after a loud, collective "oooohhhhh," from the table. We saw a completed board of {4-}{a-}{6-}{2-}{10-} and Lance Dodd, standing on his way to payout. Youkyoung Oh had the winning {10-}{10-} tabled in front of her.

As it was told to us, Dodd and Oh got it all in preflop and Dodd had {a-}{k-} and was looking good to double up after the flop and turn, but Oh spiked the ten on the river to complete the rollercoaster of emotions.

Bennett Busts Jones

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kip Jones, in the small blind, checked to the United Kingdom's Michelle Bennett in the hijack and Bennett bet 45,000. Jones then check-raised all-in for 106,000 in total and Bennett called to put Jones at risk of elimination.

Jones: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Bennett: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Jones was in big trouble against the powerhouse hand of Bennett. The {7-Spades} on the turn failed to change the course of the hand and neither did the {A-Spades}, which sent Bennett to the rail and Bennett towards 500,000.

The next hand, Daniel Borges opened to 17,000 from under the gun and Bennett three-bet him from late position to 38,000. The other active players folded, as did Borges and Bennett added even more chips to her stack.

Trumper Comes Up Trumps

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Simon Trumper is up to 200,000 after his stack was tripled up.

Judith Bielan raised to 16,000 under the gun, Robert Campbell flat-called a couple of seat over and Trumper called from the big blind, playing a 75,000 stack. The flop fell {6-}{7-}{8-} with two diamonds and Trumper moved all-in for 59,000. Both Bielan and Campbell called.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, and it was checked to Campbell who moved all in and Bielan folded.

Campbell turned over {J-}{J-} with no diamonds and Trumper showed {6-}{5-}. A four on the river kept Trumper's hand best and his stack headed north of 200,000.

Thanks to Mr Trumper for informing us of that hand!
