All Hearts But No Chips For Chen

Andrew Chen moved all-in for his last 42,000 on Annette Obrestad's big blind. She thought for a minute before calling and Chen showed {10-Hearts}

to Obrestad's {Q-Hearts}

.

"Wow, slowrolled." said Chen jokingly.

The board came {9-Clubs}

and Annette's runner-runner two pair won out.

"Well, that was fun," remarked Chen in a not-having-much-fun-at-all way. On the plus side, he's just made the pay jump and receives £10,600 instead of £9,900.

against Gustavson's {A-Clubs}

.

Board: {3-Hearts}

"I have two pair," ventured Reinkemeier, but neither player had any hearts and the pot was duly chopped.

Heavy Defeat For The Green Party

[user76023]

Eric Haik raised to 21,500 preflop and David La Ronde pushed all-in for his last 40,000 or so. Brian Green then reraised all-in behind from the blinds and Haik tanked.

Eventually he made the call with a surprisingly strong {J-Diamonds}

, La Ronde meekily cried for an ace as he turned over {A-Hearts}

and Green showed {8-Clubs}

.

The board came {J-Spades}

and Haik jumped out his chair and celebrated with a loud "Yes!" as the rest of the table looked slightly bemused.

Green and La Ronde were eliminated as a result.

JP Kelly Might Not Win

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user46392]

Two-time bracelet winner JP Kelly, fresh off WSOPE victory, is down to 135,000 after doubling up Adam York.

Kelly (button): {A-Diamonds}

York (small blind): {3-?}

The pocket threes flopped a set and rivered a full house while Kelly sighed.

Annette Obrestad raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Raymond Wu called from the button; [Removed:40] in the small blind, however, pushed all in. Obrestad reraised, Wu got out of their way, and they were on their backs.
