A Big One For Brunson

Happy_Freaked

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the action on fifth street between Nikolay Losev and Todd Brunson when the latter had bet. Losev tanked for a bit and called after which Brunson bet again on sixth. This time, Losev raised and Brunson called.

On seventh street, Brunson checked again and Losev bet. Brunson called and the showdown occurred:

Losev: / /
Brunson: / /

Losev tabled for two pair and that was no good against Brunson's for a bigger two pair combination.

No Money for Soulier

Happy_Freaked

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Fabrice Soulier has not managed to cash in this event because he just ran into Vladimir Schemelev's full house. On third street, Schemelev had the bring-in and Soulier completed. The action folded back to the Russian and he called. On fifth street, Soulier bet with a pair of queens showing and Schemelev raised. Soulier reraised and Schemelev called.

On sixth Soulier checked, Schemelev bet, Soulier raised all in and the Russian pro called.

Schemelev: / /
Soulier: / /

Soulier seemed livid after Schemelev turned over his full house and the Frenchman ultimately failed to turn his three of a kind into a bigger full house.

"This is not real!" Soulier cried out. "You play great, Vlad, you play great. You play great, just like Todd," Soulier added sarcastically.

After a pause, Soulier found out he still had some chips left and he said, "What were you thinking?" before settling down.

Ultimately, Soulier lasted two more hands before he hit the rail in 19th place.

A couple hands later, the following hand happened to give Ashby the double up he was looking for:

Ashby: / /
Grapenthien: / /

After Ashby completed the bet, Grapenthien raised behind him once again — and once again showing a lower card than Ashby was. Action folded back to Ashby, and he called. On fifth street, Ashby checked, Grapenthien bet, Ashby raised, Grapenthien reraised, and Ashby called all in.

Grapenthien was ahead with a pair of kings to Ashby's pair of queens. Ashby's board then ran out such that he made queens and fives. Grapenthien stayed with just a pair of kings after hi run out, and Ashby doubled up.
