Increases His Stack[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]With 3 players all-in preflop, Tony G. turns a club flush to eliminate 3 players including Julian Gardner and Tony Cousineau. After the hand, Tony G. is up to $64,400. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 01:44:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Van Alstyne Triples Up...Then Doubles Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Kevin O'Donnell limps preflop under-the-gun for $400 and Eric Froehlich calls in the small blind. James Van Alstyne raises to $2,400 in the big blind and O'Donnell re-raises to $8,400 and Froehlich calls. Van Alstyne calls all-in for $4,700 total and the flop comes 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Froehlich bets $10,000, causing O'Donnell to fold. Froehlich shows 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3] for two pair and Van Alstyne flips up A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] for only a pair of Kings and will need to improve. He does just that when the turn brings the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3] and the meaningless 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] on the river triples him up to $14,000.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Soon after, on a flop of A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Van Alstyne bets $5,200. Richard Freire raises to put Van Alstyne all-in and Van Alstyne calls. Van Alstyne shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] for two pair and Freire flips up J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] for a pair of Jacks and a flush draw. The turn and river are 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3] and 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] and Freire's draws do not hit. Van Alstyne doubles up and now sits with $31,800.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 01:45:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sherkhan Farnood Continues to Move up Leaderboard[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sherkhan Farnood has nearly doubled his stack in the last half hour before the break. He now sits with $57,000 in chips.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 01:46:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players On Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players are on a 15 minute break. When the return they will play in level 8 at increased blinds. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 02:02:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Break Over, Blinds Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players are back from break and are playing at blinds of $300-$600 in level 8 of the tournament. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 02:12:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Hollink Eliminated By Mahmood[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Robert Hollink is all-in preflop for his last $10,000 against Ayaz Mahmood. Hollink shows A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] and Mahmood turns over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3] and Hollink is eliminated by Mahmood's two pair. Mahmood now sits with $40,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 02:16:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Boukai Eliminated by Farnood[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Sherkhan Farnood bets and Rami Boukai moves all-in. Farnood makes the call and shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]while Boukai has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn comes the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Boukai the lead. Farnood catches up on the river, however, as the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls. Boukai is eliminated and Farnood is now at $53,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 02:43:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]McManus Stays Afloat[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]4 players limp and Chau Giang raises to $3,600 from the big blind. Jim McManus calls from early position and Tony Guoga calls from the small blind. The flop comes K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and everybody checks. The turn is the Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Guoga bets the pot ($14,400). Giang folds and McManus calls. McManus shows J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a straight and Guoga shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]also making his straight. The two split the pot and McManus is still alive with $13,000 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:02:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chau Giang Rakes in a Monster Pot[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a board of Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]T[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and with $21,600 in the pot, Chau Giang moves all-in for $14,800. His opponent, Thomas Wahlroos, thinks for awhile, eventually having the clock put on him. Finally he makes the call. Giang flips up A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the mortal nuts (the broadway straight) with a re-draw to the second nuts (King high flush). Whalroos says "I have one out," and flips up 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The river (6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]) fails to produce the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]that Wahlroos needs to eliminate Giang. Giang takes down a $51,200 pot. Wahlroos is down to $43,500. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:04:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Blinds Increase[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Blinds are up to $400-$800 in level 9 of the tournament.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:13:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thomas Wahlroos Gets a Penalty[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Thomas Wahlroos uses the F-bomb in a story that he is telling the table, and is therefore given a 10 minute penalty. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:15:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]$100,000 Hand[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]From 2nd position Jani Vilmunen ($57,000) calls the big blind. The player from the cut-off position calls as does the small blind. From the big blind, Sherkhan Farnood ($47,000) bets the pot ($2,400). Vilmunen makes the call. The flop comes Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Farnood checks and Vilmunen bets the pot ($6,200). Farnood raises the pot ($28,200). Vilmunen thinks for awhile. After around three minutes, Farnood starts talking to the rest of the table and asks if it would be rude to call the clock on a fellow European. After around 10 minutes, Farnood apologizes to Vilmunen but calls the clock. He tells Vilmunen he will be all-in the next card no matter what. Vilmunen makes the call. The 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]hits and Farnood goes all-in for around $25,000 more. Vilmunen calls instantly. Sherkhan shows the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the nuts straight. Vilmunen is visibly upset as he shows a straight but a lesser one (J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]). Vilmunen calls for a spade as he also has the 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. But the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]falls on the river and Farnood rakes in a monster pot. Farnood has $113,000 while Vilmunen is down to $6,100. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:43:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ed Jordan Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Ed Jordan raises all-in on a board of Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Dan Harmetz makes the call. Harmetz shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the straight to the Queen. Jordan shows 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a set of Tens. The board doesn't pair when the 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]hits the river, and Jordan is eliminated near the bubble. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 03:46:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wahlroos Eliminated by Giang[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], Thomas Wahlroos bets $22,000. After what seemed liked several minutes of deliberation, Chau giang re-raises another $24,100, forcing Wahlroos to make a decision for all of his chips. Wahlroos calls the all-in, and flips over 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a set of 5's. Giang shows J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]for a set of 10's. The turn and river bring the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], no help to either player. Giang now has $145,000 after this hand. As Wahlroos ships the rest of his chips to Giang, Wahlroos says, "At least I get to sleep off my hangover tomorrow". Giang replies, "Don't you know who I am? Pot-Limit Omaha! I'll send you home." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 04:12:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Round For Round Play[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players are now playing round for round until one player is eliminated on the bubble.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 04:14:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players on Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players are on a 15 minute break. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tue Jul 18 04:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Back From Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players are back from break and awaiting the elimination of the last player before they end for the night in the money.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
