To the Left, To the Left

As you can see, Max Silver is doing quite well these days. Mathew Frankland is not, and those two bits of information are related. Silver crippled Frankland in a flush-over-flush situation, then took the last of his chips with pocket tens against pocket deuces.

The Grind Continues

2011-10-18 16:27 UTC+2

That's Tilting

Giuseppe Sammartino raised to 18,000 in middle position and Chris Moorman cold-called in the cut-off. Action on to John Eames in the big blind and he moved all-in for around 85,000. Sammartino was the short stack and immediately called and Moorman folded. Eames had Sammartino covered in the hand.

Showdown

Sammartino
Eames

Board: {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

"That's tilting," said Eames.

But every cloud has a silver lining as Moorman later told Eames he had {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and if Sammartino would have shoved pre-flop Moorman would have called, as would Eames, and he would have eliminated them both. Eames now has to do a Mike Leah if he want to make the money.

The Three Chip Leaders Congregate

Constant Rijkenberg - extends his chip leader over the big three

Constant Rijkenberg, Melanie Weisner and Chris Moorman are now sharing the same table space and here is one of many hands between the three of them

Moorman made a standard raise from the hijack and Rijkenberg defended his big blind. The flop was an all-spade affair - {5-Spades} {3-Spades} {2-Spades} - and Rijkenberg check-called a 24,500 Moorman c-bet. The turn was the {7-Clubs} , Rijkenberg checked and Moorman bet 35,000. Rijkenberg went deep into his stack and as cameramen and reporters flocked around the table he check-raised to the tune of 85,000. Back to Moorman and he wasn't scared easily because he made the call. The final card, around the now packed table, was the {7-Spades} and Rijkenberg bet 122,000. Moorman thought for about three or four minutes before folding and Rijkenberg showed {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for the bluff.

Lehavot Closes the Gap

Amir Lehavot has just eliminated two players from the featured table. He had the good fortune of finding {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} against opponents with {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} and {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs} , and the board ran out {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} .

With the double KO, Litvinov has moved up to 510,000.

Go, Leah, Go

During the break, Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah was telling us about a hand in which he bet-folded himself down to just 10,000 chips during the last level. He was lucky enough to find aces to double that short stack up, and we suggested that he might want to try to find aces again. Apparently, he was listening to us.

Just a couple hands into the level, Artem Litvinov opened with three T5,000 chips, though we didn't hear if he announced a smaller raise amount. Either way, Leah three-bet to 38,000, putting himself all in except for the purple T500 chip he had over his cards. When it folded back to Litvinov, he put in the extra chip, and the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Leah: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Litvinov: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Yikes. Aces-versus-kings seem to be contagious in the tournament room. Arnaud Mattern was the beneficiary of that during the last level, and now it was Leah's turn. The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Clubs} , and in a case of fine timing, he's doubled his way up to 87,000.
