Table 459 Out Of Play Due To Coffee

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The floor had tried to break tables in a fashion that would move tables closer to the front of the room. However a slight hurdle occurred when John Esposito spilled steaming hot coffee over at least half of the table, rendering half of the table unusable in a poker tournament. The floor made the decision to move the table formerly known as 459 to 460, and that table will be out of play for the remainder of the day.

Lennon Practically Doubles with Nines

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

On a {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board and a 60,000 pot, Jeff Lennon bet from early position and the cutoff player called.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board and Lennon put in the rest of his chips, which wasn't much more, and showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} before his opponent actually made a decision. It didn't matter though as his opponent showed {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for ace-high as he folded and Lennon took the pot to just about double his stack.

Tom Triples

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The action picked up on the turn in a three way pot between Philip Tom, Try Veng, and Jeremy Maher.

With the board reading {2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts} Tom put in his remaining 5,500 and Maher raised to 16,000. Try Veng gave it some thought but called to see the river.

The river came an {a-Diamonds} and the action quickly checked through. "I got you both," said Tom as he turned over {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for rivered aces-up which was good enough to beat Veng's {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and Maher's {q-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Veng scooped the side pot for 10,500 while Tom scooped up the main.
