The River is Kind to Nguyen

Livello 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

John Monnette raised from the cutoff and was instantly three-bet by Sean Nguyen on the button. Monnette made the call and we were off to see a flop.

The flop came down {3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Monnette led out with a bet. Nguyen threw out another raise and was called by Monnette. After the {5-Hearts} fell on the turn, Monnette checked and Nguyen sent out another bet, continuing his aggression. This time Monnette chose to raise him and after some pondering Nguyen made the call.

The {2-Clubs} struck the river, placing the wheel straight nicely in front of both players. Monnette checked and once again Nguyen shot out a bet. The bet was instantly called by Monnette who flipped up his {A-Hearts}{5-Spades} for a cancelled out two pair and said "Do you have a six? You can't have a six." Much to his dismay, however, Nguyen flipped up {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for a higher straight which allowed Nguyen to scoop a massive sized pot.

"I check raise him on the turn and he still calls," remarked Monnette to a friend at another table. "He's trying to be my buddy too, asking what games I play. F*** that!"

Monnette was knocked down to around 20,000 after the hand.

Feder Busts

Livello 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Brian Feder went all in for his remaining short stack and found a handful of callers.

Action started when Feder went all in for less than the big blind. Benjamin Scholl, Mitch Schock, Sean Nguyen, and Mike Ungurean all called. The flop ran out {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Nguyen checked, Ungurean bet, Schock and Scholl called, and Nguyen folded.

The turn brought the {j-Hearts}. Ungurean checked, Scholl bet which caused Schock to fold.

The river came out the {6-Diamonds}. Ungurean checked, Scholl bet, and Ungurean folded.

Feder flipped up {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Scholl showed {j-Clubs}{10-Spades} to send Feder to the rail.

Scholl Takes Nguyen to School

Livello 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Benjamin Scholl has just taken down a big pot against Sean Nguyen to move up to 99,500 as play gets back underway here in the Amazon Room.

The action folded around to Nguyen who raised from the hijack position before the flop; Scholl flat-called from the big blind and the dealer spread the flop of {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, which Scholl checked.

Nguyen opened the betting, but then Scholl check-raised. Nguyen called, then called Scholl's opening bet on the turn of the {Q-Diamonds} before both players checked the river {K-Spades}.

Scholl tabled {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for the flush and Nguyen furrowed his brow before kicking his hand into the muck. Nguyen is down to 90,000 in chips.

Clements Cuts Back Nassif

Livello 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Scott Clements is now up to more than 113,000 after taking a chunk of change off Gabriel Nassif.

The action folded around to Clements who raised from the button before Nassif called from the big blind to go heads-up to a flop of {9-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, which Nassif check-called before going to the turn of the {3-Hearts}. Nassif checked, Clements bet, but this time Nassif check-raised. Clements came back over with a four-bet and Nassif called before both players checked down the river {9-Clubs}.

Nassif rolled up {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} but was no good against Clements' {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Nassif is now down to 29,000 in chips as we approach the next break.

Identity Confirmed!

Livello 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

We have an identity on our bombastic "Mr. Hipster"! He is confirmed as being Michael Winnett aka "Squeaky". Rumor around the press box is that he's been cited with penalties in WPT events in the past for his brash, pompous comments and behavior at the table. Here at PokerNews we witnessed two hands take place over the course of about fifteen minutes from play being slowed down by consistent bickering at the table.

Winnett made a raise preflop, was three-bet by Darin Thomas, and Bryan Pimlott four-bet the action. Winnett and Thomas made the call, but not before constant bickering over the amount in the pot. Winnett accused others of acting slow and not putting enough chips in while players were still reaching for their chips and was then accused of not having the correct amount in the pot himself. The dealer attempted to maintain order at the table but it was hard to keep his composure with constant yelling and badgering from the players, namely Winnett. Eventually the floor was called and continued to keep watch for the next two hands.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. The action checked around to Pimlott who led out. The bet was called by both Winnett and Thomas and we were off to the turn. The {10-Spades} turned and the action once again went check-check to Pimlott. As Pimlott went to move chips in the middle, Winnett beat him into the pot which made Pimlott stop in his tracks and contemplate his action. Eventually and peculiarly enough as the action was checked to him, Pimlott decided to muck his cards. Everyone at the table was a bit taken aback by this action and naturally Winnett was the most vocal about it. Regardless, we were off to the river with two players.

The {4-Spades} hit the river and Winnett led out with a bet, trying to take control of this hand. After shaking his head and laughing to himself, Thomas decided to make the call. Winnett flipped up {Q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for air, causing an elated Thomas to flip over {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for merely a pair of sixes, but the winning hand regardless.

"I knew you had that! I knew you had that hand! I know where you are!" Thomas exclaimed as he scooped a massive pot.

An already seemingly furious Michael "Squeaky" Winnett raised the very next hand, not being able to let go of Pimlott mucking with the action checked to him. He continued berating the move to the rail and even seemingly to himself. Not letting these words get to him, Pimlott made the of Winnett's raise from the button. The big blind called as well.

The flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Winnett who fired a bet. Pimlott quickly called and the big blind called as well. The {5-Spades} came on the turn and the big blind started the action by firing out a bet. Winnett raised and Pimott three-bet from the button, leaving him with 5,500 behind. The big blind, shocked at this action eventually mucked his cards. Winnett four-bet the action, putting Pimlott all in and the cards were turned over.

Winnett: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Pimlott: {J-Spades}{10-Spades}

Fortune was smiling on Pimlott this hand as the {K-Diamonds} drilled the river, giving him a winning straight.

There were still discrepancies with how many chips were in the middle and the floor had to tell Winnett several times to let the dealer do his job without berating him and yelling amounts out.

"You guys just don't know how to count. It's crazy. It's unbelievable but none of you can count. I don't get it" said Winnett as he shuffled his chips around, stinging from the loss.

We'll keep you updated on the status of table #372 as the drama continues to build in this $1,500 Limit Hold'em event!

Barbero and Law Sent Home

Livello 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Timothy Chauser sent home Chung Law and Jose Barbero.

We caught the action after the flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Chung was all in after the flop. When the turn came the {j-Hearts}, Barbero bet, Chauser raised, and Barbero re raised all in for his remaining chip stack.

Barbero: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Chung: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Chauser: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out with the {j-Spades} on the river giving Chauser the full house and the other players packing.
