Tilly Takes Care of Another Player

MarcC

Is there no stopping Jennifer Tilly today? She just eliminated another player in shape of Paul Newey.

We're not sure how the action went but it seemed as if she isolated Newey, forcing another player off his holding of king-queen.

Tilly opened {k-Hearts} {j-Diamonds} , dominating Newey's {k-Spades} {3-Spades} . The board ran {2-Hearts} {q-Spades} {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} meaning her jack played. It was a good job she did isolate! Her stack remains around the 170k mark.

Hairabedian is the King Today

Chad Holloway

After a middle-position player raised to 1,025 from middle position and Roger Hairabedian, who already won a bracelet earlier today, called from the hijack, "King" Dan Smith moved all in from the cutoff for 12,675. The original raiser folded and Hairabedian made a quick call.

Showdown

Hairabedian: {A-Clubs}

Smith:

Smith was way behind and would find no help as the board ran out {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {4-Spades} . With that, Hairabedian knocked out a tough opponent and chipped back up to the starting stack.

Lichtenberger Goes Off Broadway

Chad Holloway

We saw Andrew Lichtenberger exiting the tournament floor and a quick check of his former seat confirmed that he was out. His former neighbor, David Peters, was kind enough to provide us with a few details. According to him, the board read {A-} {10-} {7-} {Q-} when Chance Kornuth check-raised and then call when Lichtenberger moved all in for 21,000.

"Lucky Chewy" held {Q-} {10-} for two pair, but it was no good against the {K-} {J-} Broadway straight of Kornuth. The river was of no consequence and that was the end of Lichtenberger.

More for Tilly

MarcC

Jennifer Tilly's domination is continuing to the frustration of Dori Yacoub. The latter lost a pot to Tilly and was told by a table mate, "She's has the better of you all day." Yacoub could only nod.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened the pot with a raise to 1,000 and was called by Yacoub before Tilly squeezed to 6,000 from the button. Elky folded but Yacoub made the call to see a {q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} flop where both players checked.

The turn was {2-Diamonds} and Tilly bet 6,000 when the action was checked to her again. Yacoub took two minutes to call to the {6-Spades} river. He checked agin and this time snap called when Tilly bet 8,000. She opened {q-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} for top set. Yacoub couldn't believe it and slowly released his hand.

Ivey vs. Metaal

Chad Holloway

With 4,000 in the pot and a board reading {J-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {J-Clubs} , Phil Ivey bet 3,000 from the small blind and received a call from Govert Metaal. The {3-Spades} river saw Ivey slow down with a check, which gave Metaal the opportunity to bet 6,000. It proved enough to win the hand as Ivey sent his cards to the muck.

Govert Metaal	79,000 24,000	24,000
Phil Ivey	43,000 -5,000	-5,000
