Theodore Hallenbeck came in for a raise to 3,000, and Daniel Mcnally, who was next to act, raised it up to 10,500. Heimiller peeked at his cards, then instantly shoved the rest of his 7,900 stack in there. Hallenbeck got out of the way, and the players flipped their cards up.
Mcnally:
Heimiller:
Heimiller was looking for low cards, and he wasn't too happy when the flop came out . The turn brought the , giving McNally a set but also giving Heimiller a world of outs for the low and a wheel for the scoop. Sure enough, the hit the river, and Heimiller made his wheel, to scoop the double up, boosting his stack to 20,300.
Peter Ippolito raised to 2,800 in middle position and received calls from Allen Kessler (hijack), Eli Elezra (cutoff) and Andreas Krause (small blind). On the flop, it was checked to Elezra who splashed 4,600 into the pot for an all in. Krause made the call while the other two players folded.
Krause:
Elezra:
Elezra was in good shape to double up so long as he could avoid a king or a queen. Krause said, “Nice hand sir” to Elezra before the turn came the and Elezra said, “Not anymore” as Krause made a full house. Elezra was now down to the case nine to make quads and survive but the river was the and he was eliminated.
We didn't catch the hand, but discovered David Williams packing up while Mike Matusow raked in a pot. It doesn't take much deductive reasoning to conclude that Williams has been eliminated from the tournament.
Preflop, Bretty Richey called Jim Geary’s button-raise to 6,000 from middle position. On the flop, Richey bet pot and Geary called all in for 10,500.
Geary:
Richey:
Geary was ahead with his overpair of aces but fell behind when Richey made kings up on the turn. That lead wouldn’t last long though as Geary made Broadway when the landed on the river to double him up and put a dent to Richey’s stack.
Huck Seed has been very active today, as we have seen him putting his chips in play nearly every time we walk by his table. We saw him get involved in big pots twice in the span of a few minutes, and both times, Seed had to catch a card to stay alive.
On the first hand, the flop read . There was 6,400 in the pot, and Seed bet out pot fairly quickly. His opponent, Cailin Jin, then moved all in, and Seed didn't appear to be too happy with that. He said "Well I've already put all my chips in guess I have to call." The cards were flipped up, and Seed was in bad shape.
Jin:
Seed:
Jin had top pair and the nut low draw, while Seed was drawing thin, needing a king for the high or a four to take the pot. The turn came the , giving him no help, but the river came the , giving Seed the low and helping him survive.
A few hands later, Seed and David "Doc" Sands were in a hand heads up on a flop of . Sands bet out 7,200, and Seed slid all of his orange T1000 chips in the middle. Sands annouced all in, and again Seed didn't seem too thrilled with making the call.
Sands:
Seed:
Sands had flopped the nut straight, and Seed was looking for a low card to take half the pot. He got it on the turn, the , and the meaningless river was the . We will be sure to keep an eye on Seed, who's sitting on around 20,000 at the moment.
David Parades raised to 2,000 from early position and received a call from David Sklansky in middle position. Jordi Martinez then potted all in from the cutoff, which both Parades and Sklansky called, with the latter calling for less.
Martinez:
Sklansky:
Parades:
Both Martines and Sklansky were at risk, especially when the flop delivered Parades a straight and flush draw. The turn filled the said flush, meaning the at-risk players needed a qualifying low card to hit the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for them both, the blanked on the river and Parades scored the double elimination.
