Pancakes, Anyone?

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Arash Ghaneian raised to 130,000 from the hijack, and Randy Pisane three-bet to 305,000 in the small blind.

"What's that lovely bet you have over there?" Ghaneian asked. He called once the dealer confirmed the amount.

On the {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, Pisane continued for 330,000, and Ghaneian gave it brief consideration before folding.

"I hit a one-outer earlier today," Pisane remarked.

"What did you eat for breakfast today?" Ghaneian asked. "Pancakes? Let's go to the Waffle House tomorrow."

Michael Ruane
Michael Ruane

A player in middle position opened to 130,000, and Michael Ruane three-bet, making it 350,000 to go. One seat over, Robin Hegele called, and the original raiser called, as well.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and action was checked to Ruane, who went into the tank. After about 90 seconds, the clock was called, and Ruane checked. Hegele bet 375,000, and only Ruane called. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn, and both players checked to the {8-Spades} on the river. Ruane led out with a bet of 850,000, and Hegele called.

Ruane tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, and Hegele mucked.

Reard Gets a Fold from Leng

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ryan Leng raised to 130,000 from early position and Frank Crivello three-bet to 350,000 from middle position. Alexandre Reard called from the hijack and the action was back on Leng.

Leng four-bet to 1,390,000 and Crivello mucked his hand. Reard had other ideas, as he shoved all-in for around 3,270,000. Leng went into the tank for a few minutes as he was clearly distressed. After some time had ticked off into their break, Leng finally mucked his cards and Reard scooped a big pot nearing the end of the night.

Daniel Ott Flops Top Set, Eliminates Gordon Campbell

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Ott
Daniel Ott

Gordon Campbell opened to 125,000 in middle position, and Daniel Ott defended his big blind.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Ott checked. Campbell continued for 225,000, and Ott check-raised to 450,000. Campbell then moved all in for 2,075,000, and Ott quickly called.

Ott had {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for top set, and Campbell was in bad shape with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The {J-Clubs} turn and the {2-Clubs} river were insignificant, and Campbell was eliminated from the Main Event.

The pot put Ott up around eight million chips.
