Alexander Dovzhenko Eliminated in 20th Place

Alexander Dovzhenko Eliminated in 20th Place
Alexander Dovzhenko Eliminated in 20th Place

On a flop of {9-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} Alexander Dovzhenko bet 17,000 out of the big blind and Sam Trickett declared "pot". Almost instantaneously Dovzhenko moved all-in and Trickett called.

Trickett{A-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Dovzhenko{A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

The turn {K-Diamonds} and river {Q-Spades} were no good to Dovzhenko and Trickett moved towards the top of the leader board.

Ramzi Jelassi Loses a Lot of Chips

Over at the chip leaders table and it looks as though Ramzi Jelassi is giving out chips for fun as his stack as been carved in half. We believe the first person to benefit from Jelassi's generosity was David Callaghan, and we have just seen him also double up Elie Payan.

There were a few limpers before Ramzi Jelassi nonchalantly raised to 12,500 in the cut-off. When the action folded around to Payan, he moved all-in for 48,100 and Jelassi made the call.

Payan{K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}
Jelassi{Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Board: {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {10-Spades} {7-Spades}

"Wow, where is all the luck that a chip leader is supposed to have?" Asked Jelassi.

Mercier Busts Shorr in 21st

Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

Alfredo Vegas raised pre flop to 4,800 from early position. The action got folded to Jason Mercier who flatted from the small blind. Shannon Shorr's been having a rough stretch and decided to pot to 14,400 with around 40,000 behind. Vega folded instantly so it was on to Mercier who tanked for quite some time before calling.

The flop was {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Mercier potted right away putting Shorr all-in. Shorr called and the cards went on their backs.

Shannon Shorr{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Jason Mercier{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The turn was the {K-Hearts} and the river the {J-Spades} giving Mercier the pot and the knockout.

David Benyamine limped under the gun and there were four callers including Dermot Blain who checked his option in the big blind. The flop was {8-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} and Benyamine bet 12,000 and when the action folded around to Blain he check-raised to 39,000. Benyamine moved all-in and Blain called.

Benyamine{6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Blain{A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds}

Chartier Bluffing?

When we arrived at the table the turn had just been dealt and the three players staring at the {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} board were Alexander Dovzhenko, Jason Mercier and Sam Chartier. Dovzhenko was first to act and he bet 15,000. Mercier folded but Chartier popped it up to 60,000 and Dovzhenko folded.

"Nice bluff," said Mercier.

Chartier broke out in a beaming smile.
