Monster Pot Absorbed Into Hougaard's Stack

[user46298]

In the closing minutes of the level, neighbors Fuad Serhan and Jesper Hougaard tangled in a big pot. Serhan raised to 16,000 preflop, called by an in-position Hougaard. On the flop of {2-Clubs}

Serhan bet out 19,000, again flat-called by Hougaard.

Turn was the {3-Spades}

. Now the bet was 25,000 -- called.

River was the {10-Hearts}

. Checked to Hougaard, who announced, "All in," moving in his stack of red 5,000 chips as a symbolic gesture on behalf of his ludicrous towers. Serhan declined to call off the rest of his stack, and was shown the {J-Spades}

for his trouble.

Bommes on a Roll

[user46298]

That might be a metaphor from a totally different game, but after a quiet start to the day the youngster has picked up the pace and developed a big stack along with some confidence using it. Just now, having raised early to 10,000 and picked up new tablemate Daniel Nutt for the ride, Bommes got all the way to the river without any drama, and then faced a bet out of 15,000 from Nutt.

The board read {Q-Spades}

. Bommes thought for a while before calling, and was rewarded with that sort of wrist-flip players do when they don't want to show. Bommes tabled the {A-Hearts}

and Nutt, fingers caught in the cookie jar, mucked his hand. Bommes' balcony rail went wild.

Jason Feeling Gray

[user76023]

Warren Woodall has managed a remarkable turnaround. So much so, that's he's just managed to eliminated Jason Gray from today's proceedings.

Gray had raised to 11,000 from late position and Woodall made the call from the big blind. The flop was {A-Hearts}

, Woodall checked, and Gray bet 14,000 before Woodall raised to 45,000. After some contemplation Gray moved all in and Woodall made the call.

Jason Gray: {A-Spades}

Warren Woodall: {10-Clubs}

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

offering some additional outs, but the river was the {Q-Hearts}

eliminating Gray from the competition. Woodall meanwhile, now has over 225,000 and is amongst the chip leaders.
