Altman Eliminated by Feldman

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Brian Altman
Brian Altman

WPT Champions Club member Brian Altman raised to 1,200 from under the gun, and Australian Joel Feldman three-bet to 3,600 from the button.

The blinds passed, and Altman elected to four-bet to 12,000 total. Feldman called, and on the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop, Altman continued for 7,000.

Feldman called and the turn landed the {2-Spades}. Altman checked, and Feldman bet 7,000.

Altman called, and when the river landed the {2-Diamonds}, he checked again.

Feldman placed out two 25,000-denomination green chips into the bet, and Altman began deliberating for his 32,500 total.

Several minutes passed before Altman called all in.

Feldman tabled his {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} for deuces full of kings, while Altman revealed his {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a lesser full house and headed to the rail.

Deja Vu for Duan?

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Rewinding back to the beginning of the day and Chao Duan was involved in a big pot that he lost against Jean Said. There were three deuces on the board and he called a big raise on the river, to be shown quads.

He was in a similar situation just now. Tobias Duthweiler had opened the cutoff and Duan called the button before the small blind made it three-handed to the flop. On a {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop, the small blind checked and Duthweiler made it 8,300 to go. Only Duan called, taking them heads up to the turn.

It was the {6-Diamonds} and Duthweiler bet 28,500, leaving 50,000 and change behind. Duan tried to engage him in table talk, even asking if Duthweiler had a six. Perhaps the memory of the hand earlier had something to do with his decision or perhaps not, either way he decided to lay it down.

Following the turn of a {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board with about 11,000 in the pot, Chris Moneymaker checked from the small blind and the player in the cutoff bet 11,500. Moneymaker called and both checked the {6-Hearts} river.

Moneymaker showed {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, his opponent mucked and Moneymaker collected the pot.

Smith in Amazon

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Dan Smith (in a previous event)
Dan Smith (in a previous event)

Dan Smith is sat in Amazon Tan and though he has dwindled to less than starting stack, he is still likely to induce fear among everyone at his table. Currently sat in ninth-place on the all-time money list, Smith is certainly a formidable opponent, with a third-place in last year's Big One for One Drop amongst his many achievements.

Rice Takes Huge Pot of Over 150K from Zakarian

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Veerab Zakarian who had a chip stack was involved in a hand with Raymond Rice. The pot already had more than 55,000 in the middle on a flop reading {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. Rice bet 15,000 and Zakarian called. The turn was the {10-Spades}. Both players checked tentatively.

The river was the {3-Clubs}. Zakarian was first to act and thought for about 20 seconds before checking. Rice then reached into his stack and cut out a bet of 33,500. Zakarian went deep into the tanking for about two minutes before eventually calling.

Rice turned over {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and Zakarian mucked to create a large shift in chips at the table in the over 100,000 pot.
