Thomas Eliminated

Livello 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Action folded around to Michael Thomas in the cutoff who shoved all in for his last 11,300. Next to act was Joshua McBroom on the button, and he thought for a minute before shoving all in over the top. The blinds got out of the way and the two players flipped up their cards.

Thomas: {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
McBroom: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

McBroom was in a dominating position, and the hand was virtually over when the flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The turn and river provided no miracles for Thomas, coming {2-Spades} and {10-Diamonds}, and Thomas was eliminated from the tournament.

Quach Stack Triples in Two Hands

Livello 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jordan Dhooghe raised from early-middle position to 4,500 before Daniel Quach announced a re-raise all in from the big blind for his remaining 14,400. Dhooghe decided to put Quach at risk and was surprised to find that his {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was well ahead of the {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} of Quach.

The flop was unfriendly to our chip leader though as it rolled off {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. The turn and river brought no help to Dhooghe and Quach doubled up.

The very next hand, action folded around to Quach in the small blind and he decided to limp. The two players saw a {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. Quach check called a bet of 4,000 from his opponent before both players checked the {7-Clubs} turn. The river was the {4-Hearts} and Quach bet 5,000 and his opponent called. Quach flopped the Jack high strait and has now turned his 14,400 stack into 44,000 chips.

Barela Chipping Up

Livello 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With a few railbirds cheering him on, Michael Barela has been adding to his stack.

Most recently he raised from the hijack pre-flop only to have the small blind, Michael Will, raise all in. Barela made the call without much thought and tabled his {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades} which was well ahead of Will's {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} allowing Barela to pad his stack. He now sits with around 55,000.

Flora Eliminated

Livello 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

You may remember Flora from Day 1 when he survived the bubble twice, including tripling up with less than three big blinds on our bubble hand. Well he is still playing his short stack well and recently doubled up after winning a race with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} against the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} of Joseph Zeman.

Flora raised his stack to about 23,000 while Zeman fell back down to 69,000.

Just a couple of hands later, Ray Flora once again got involved in a hand for his entire stack, only this time we was not as fortunate as before. Flora's opponent announced all in on a board of {7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Flora called, flipping over {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Unfortunately for Flora, this was behind the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} of his opponent. The river bricked out and Flora was eliminated.

Roller Coaster Ride for Michael Allen

Livello 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Poker comes with swings of fortune that Michael Allen surely knows well.

From middle position, Allen open-raised to 5,000 and was met will an all in push from Frank Magliarditi in the hijack for approximately 22,000. Allen tanked but eventually convinced himself to call and revealed the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, which was dominated by Magliarditi's {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The board ran dry {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Magliarditi doubled up to just over 50,000 given the blinds and antes, while Allen fell to just 12,000.

A couple hands later, Allen went all in from early position and was called from the big blind. Allen was in good shape with {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} against his opponent's {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The board came {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, doubling Allen back up to around 27,000.
