Pons Doubles Through Karr to Take the Chip Lead

With around 20,000 in the pot and a flop of {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} , Anthony Pons checked and opened the door for McLean Karr to bet 7,800. Pons responded with a check-raise to 7,800, and after asking for a count, Karr moved all in. Pons snap-called off for 54,700 and Karr knew he was in trouble.

Showdown

Karr:

Pons:

"I should have just raised and then I could have gotten away from it," Karr said aloud. "I didn't think he'd raise a set so big." Karr was in bad shape, but the {4-Hearts} turn did give him a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the {5-Spades} river was no help.

Angry John Monnette

Chad Holloway

John Monnette opened for 4,600 from middle position and received a call from Amaury Detoc in the cutoff. It was heads-up action to the {10-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Spades} flop, and Monnette promptly checked to Detoc, who fired out 5,300. Monnette thought for a moment before moving all in and Detoc quickly called off for 26,800 total.

Showdown

Detoc:

Monnette:

Monnette was well out in front but needed to dodge the open-ended straight draw of Detoc. He did so on the {2-Spades} turn, but not after the dealer burned and slowly flipped over the {8-Diamonds} on the river.

"Really?" Monnette exclaimed. "You're going to sweat me like that?" Monnette was clearly upset the dealer had paused before revealing the river, and he was quite vocal in his opposition. Regardless, the result was the same and Detoc doubled to 65,000.

Meanwhile, Anthony Russo has been eliminated from the tournament in 31st place.
