James Bord Has Been Eliminated

James Bord raised to 350 from under the gun and Brian Powell defended his big blind. The flop came down {J-} {9-} {8-} and Powell checked to Bord who bet 400. Back to Powell and he check-raised to 1,100 giving the former WSOPE Main Event winner a decision. Bord decided to make it 2,500 and after a bit of Hollywood Powell moved all-in and Bord called and he was in bad shape. The turn and river bricked for Bord and he was eliminated. Interestingly Powell was also on that WSOPE ME final table last year finishing in 8th place.

Marvin Rettenmaier Kicks Sam Trickett Out Of The Door

Sam Trickett has just been eliminated by his Titan Poker stable mate after three-barrelling into the open arms of Marvin Rettenmaier.

There was a pre flop raise from the cut-off and Trickett (button) and Rettenmaier (big blind) both called. The board ran out {K-Spades} {J-} {6-Spades} {3-Spades} {J-} and Rettenmaier check-called three streets, including an all-in shove on the river, while holding {J-} {10-} and Trickett had {Q-} {10-} for the missed draw.

To add some more madness to the mix Mike McDonald sat down in the six seat while Sorel Mizzi has been sitting here since the start of the day.

Xuan Liu Unlucky

Canadian pro Xuan Liu has just been eliminated by the hands of Dave 'DevilFish' Ulliot. We ran into Liu who was making her way out of the tournament area and she told us the following.

With just under 4.000 chips remaining she decided to shove from the button when Ulliot had made a raise from the cut off. De Brit called with pocket sixes and managed to beat Liu who was holding a pair of queens. On to the next one for Liu who's going to be playing in the €1.000 No Limit Hold'em tournament that's starting tomorrow.

A Castle for Kastle

Casey Kastle is busy building a nice castle of chips after he just busted Filippo Candio. The Italian pro was short and decided to re-shove for about 2.100 with {K-} {3-} off suit and Kastle snapped him off with pocket aces. The board didn't change anything and Kastle is now playing 13,500.

Kastle got rid of Candio but is still playing against experienced pro's Alexander Kravchenko and Jonathan Aguiar.
