Masters Eliminated

A few hands after Chris Viox was eliminated in 26th place, Charles "Woody" Moore raised to 37,000 from middle position and Greg Masters moved all in for a total of 50,000 on the button. Action folded back to Moore who made the call.

Moore: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Masters: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Masters was in trouble and needed help. The {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop did not provide it and neither did the {K-Diamonds} on the turn. Masters needed a queen on the river to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the {J-Hearts} appeared. Masters was eliminated from the tournament in 25th place and will take home $3,200.

What a Flop, What a Turn... What a River!

Michael Cole
Michael Cole

Ray Martin moved all in from middle position for his last 29,000. Steve Kats made the call from the button and then Michael Cole reraised all in from the big blind. Kats got out of the way and it was Cole's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} up against the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

"Now let me hit an ace," said Martin, standing from his chair to watch his fate. "let me hit the ace this time!"

The flop came down better than an ace when the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} rolled off to give Martin the nut flush.

"How about that! How about that!" yelled Martin, excited.

The turn card paired the board with the {5-Spades} and then the river did the unthinkable, nailed Cole with a full house when the {9-Hearts} smacked the board. Dwyte Pilgrim and Cole's railbirds starting cheering loudly for their buddy and Pilgrim was once again warned. This time he tried to speak to the tournament director, who was having none of it and told Pilgrim he'd throw him out if there was one more outburst.

Cole collected the chips, "guns and butter" style and now has about 260,000. Martin hit the rail in 28th place.

Cole Check-Shoves and Pilgrim Gets Warned

Michael Cole raised to 15,000 and was called by his neighbor Mike Foster. The flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} and Cole checked. Foster fired 30,000 and Cole moved all in for about 120,000. The shove prompted an enormous outburst from Cole's good friend Dwyte Pilgrim. That outburst got a warning from the tournament staff and Pilgrim was asked to not have any more loud, celebratory outbursts.

After a bit of tanking, Foster folded and Cole showed only the {J-Spades}.

Crowder Fails to Bluff Ilich

Drazen Ilich was on the button and raised to 14,000 only to have Keith Crowder reraise to 34,000 from the big blind. Ilich made the call and the flop came {8-Clubs}{A-Spades}{A-Hearts}. Both players checked as the {K-Hearts} fell on the turn.

Crowder led out with a bet of 35,000 and Ilich took his time before making the call. When the {8-Hearts} appeared on the river, Crowder bet 50,000 and Drazen quickly made the call. Crowder insta-mucked and Ilich showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} to take down the pot and bring his stack up to 220,000, the same amount Crowder was left with after the hand.

Roman Out First, Ford Follows Quickly

Joel Merwick
Joel Merwick

After Ulises Roman hit the rail in 30th place, John Ford was all in with the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for Joel Merwick.

The flop was big for Merwick when it rolled out {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} to give him a set of eights and the lead in the hand. The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and then the river the {8s{ to give him an even more powerful hand, quads. He was able to send Ford to the junkyard and move his stack to about 300,000 in chips. Ford went out in 29th place.
