Gus Hansen Eliminated

Busted
Busted
Gus Hansen found himself seeing a {3-?} {4-?} {7-?} flop with Jonas Klausen and Jennifer Tilly, with around 4,500 in the pot by the time they saw it. Klausen bet out and Tilly folded instantly, but Hansen moved all in for not much more than Klausen's bet. Klausen called and was behind with {A-?} {A-?} against Hansen's {3-?} {4-?}, but another {7-?} on the turn sent Hansen hurtling to the rail just before the break.

Nenad Doesn't Need a Medic

Nenad Medic has really moved through the gears this level and is winning most of the pots he's played by taking opponents off hands or finding a willing opponent when holding the goods.

In one of the last hands before break he raised to 900 from the cut-off before Florian Langmann reraised to 3,300 from the big blind. Medic made the call and we saw a {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {K-Hearts} flop.

Langmann led out for 3,200 and and Medic bumped it up to 10,100. Langmann called and the dealer gave us {9-Spades} turn.

Both players checked before Medic called Langmann's 14,500 bet on the {2-Clubs} river. Medic showed {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and his opponent tapped the table and mucked

Helppi Helps Himself

Juha Helppi raised to 800 from the cutoff, and looked a little irked to be called by Tom Dwan on the button and Cedric Kolstad and Lauri Keinonen in the blinds.

The flop came down {6-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and Kolstad checked to Keinonen, who bet 1,200. Helppi promptly raised to 5,000 and took the pot down there, a welcome boost to his stack on a table largely reduced to small stacks by the towering monster that is Jamie "The Chronic" Rosen's hoard.

Baker Doesn't Get the Cake

Stephen Baker raised to 900 from late position before John Kabbaj reraised from the small blind to 3,100. Baker made the call and we went to the flop: {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

Kabbaj checked to see his opponent move all in. Kabbaj snap-called with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} and he saw he was ahead of Baker's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

The turn {7-Diamonds} and river {2-Spades} changed nothing and Baker said his goodbyes.

Kabbaj is up to 54,000 now.

Only One Bracelet This Week

PLO bracelet winner, Theo Jorgensen, has been nursing a sort stack ever since he made an ill-timed move on Nenad Medic earlier. He's already moved in once before but found no callers. This time he found a caller from his new tablemate, Barry Greenstein, after moving in for 2,775.

Greenstein turned over {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} and was in good shape against the {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} of Jorgensen.

All the way to the river: {J-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Spades}.

No two-outer and no two bracelets for the Dane this week.

Joshua Ladines Doubles Though Adam Junglen

Adam Junglen opened for a raise, Joshua Ladines moved all in for his remaining 5,750 and Junglen made the call. It was a race situation, with Ladines holding {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and Junglen {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades}.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} and Ladines doubled up with nines and fours.

"Nice hand," said the ever-classy Junglen as his opponent raked in the pot.

The Kiddie Game is Down the Street

Daniel Colman, a young man who appears to be all of 13 years old (we're trusting his ID was checked when he registered) raised to 700 from UTG, Stephen Chidwick reraised to 2,200, and Colman immediately moved all in. Chidwick called just as quickly, turning up {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} to Colman's {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}.

The flop was {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {5-Hearts}, the kings still holding. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but Chidwick's gin card, the {10-Spades} fell on the river, making him a Broadway straight.

Without even bothering to push his chips into the middle, Colman stormed out of the card room like a child sent to bed without his dinner.
