Hohner Eliminates Selbst

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

In the last hand before the break the action folded around to the player in the cutoff who raised to 1,200. Vanessa Selbst re-raised to 3,800 from the small blind and Ryan Hohner made it 8,000 from the big blind. Selbst called and they went heads-up to the {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop.

Selbst checked to Hohner who bet 5,000 and Selbst check-raised to 16,700. Hohner called and the dealer burned and turned the {4-Clubs}. Selbst moved all in for 46,900 and Hohner called.

Selbst turned over {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for just jack high and was drawing dead against the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Hohner. The meaningless {6-Spades} completed the board and Selbst was eliminated.

Watson to the Rail

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

A short-stacked Mike Watson had defended his big blind against an early position open from David Kaleel. On the {9-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop, Watson check-called 1,500 and left himself with 1,350 behind. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and those final chips went in as well.

Mike Watson: {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
David Kaleel: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and "SirWatts" went to the rail in the last level of the day.

Cliff Josephy
Cliff Josephy

The table of Athanasios Polychronopoulos and Joseph Cheong got moved back from the outer featured table, back into the Amazon Orange section. Cliff Josephy won a nice pot right away.

He raised to 1,200 and saw another player at the table three-bet to 3,600. Josephy called and the two saw an {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop appear. Both players checked to see the {8-Diamonds} turn card and Josephy took the initiative back by betting 2,500. His opponent folded and Josephy took down the pot.

Eldridge Lucky to Chop

Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

David Eldridge opened under the gun and got two callers. The flop came {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Eldridge bet 1,500. Both opponents called and the turn was the {q-Hearts}. Everyone checked. The river was the {10-Hearts} and everyone checked again.

The first player opened {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Eldridge flicked in {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for identical aces up with a queen kicker. They chopped the pot.
