Richards Back in Trouble

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Jehan Richards
Jehan Richards

Jehan Richards had started well and increased the stack by fifty percent but things have taken a toll since. The latest big pot he lost was in a duel button versus "Leon G" in the big blind.

Leon G flopped top pair and no kicker with the Q2 and stuck around on a Q108610 board. Richards only held K6 for inferior two pair and a busted flush draw to drop below half the starting stack.

Amstel Gold Race Goes to Elizabeth

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Shannon Elizabeth
Shannon Elizabeth

There was an all-in and call over on table three and a quick look revealed why it was such an obvious clash as Shannon Elizabeth and Amstel both had flopped a set on Q108.

Shannon Elizabeth: QQ All in
Amstel: 1010

The 2 turn and J river were no threat and Elizabeth doubled, she now has more chips than she bagged on Day 1a. Nic Ioannoy mentioned he folded Q9 and would have rivered the best hand.

Mantzios Beats Courtney in Showdown

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Three ways to the J42 flop, Nahum Lim folded when Paul Mantzios bet 3,700. Stephen Courtney check-called from under the gun and they checked the 6 on the turn. Courtney bet the 8 river for 8,500 and Mantzios called.

"Ace high," Courtney declared and Mantzios tabled the AJ for the winner, as Mantzios exposed his A for the nut flush blocker.

Corront Out and Back In

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Merwan Corront
Merwan Corront

The cards were already on their backs and Merwan Corront instantly headed to the cashier to purchase a re-entry as he had just been eliminated by Alexi Aledandrou. On a board of J108A9, the A7 of the French player for the bottom end of the straight were no good as Alexandrou had the Q8 for the queen-high straight when Corront got it in for 26,000.

Aleko Manganas
Aleko Manganas

While flip satellites are running in the tournament room, there are also players getting their chips into the middle on Day 1c of the Main Event. One of them was Aleko Manganas, who was at risk for 21,500 against Peter Smith.

Aleko Manganas: AQ All in
Peter Smith: 99

The J833A runout provided the ace on the river.

Tucker Deals Heavy Punch to Ng

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On the tail end of a Q847Q board, Greg Tucker moved all-in for 23,400 in the small blind for essentially the size of the pot. David Ng in late position went into the tank and eventually called.

Tucker tabled his Q8 for the nuts and Ng's QJ were briefly exposed.

"Ah, so you did have queen-jack," Tucker remarked before raking in the double.

Known for his alias of "Tucker Time" from online poker back in the days, the local player is back on track on the second bullet for the day.

Ioannoy Denied a Double Against Pillay

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With around 20,000 in the middle to the 1053A2 river, Nic Ioannoy pushed all-in for 44,200. Keegan Pillay one seat over on the other side of the table went into the tank and asked for an exact count. One time bank later, he folded and asked Ioannoy to show.

Ioannoy granted the request and first flashed the 2 followed by the 4. Pillay grinned "I am such a pussy" and exposed his KK for a pair of kings.

Khan Chops a Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three ways to the KQJJ turn, the small blind led for 2,100 and Moon Khan called, David Ng opted to fold. The small blind checked the 6 river and Khan bet 3,000 to earn a reluctant call.

Khan's K10 had to settle for a chop versus K6 but he is up for the day thus far.
