A player in middle position pushed his last 15,000 in the middle, Jason Moungey called from the button, then Eugene Todd reraised all in to 60,000 from the big blind. Moungey called.
Todd showed , the MP player , and Moungey .
The flop came A-A-10, and Moungey went from way behind to way in front. The turn and river were both eights, and both Todd and the MP player were busted. Moungey is now up to 150,000.
We sometimes report on tables breaking. Well, now we mean it literally.
A leg on Table #8 is broken, so staff have moved the players who had been sitting there elsewhere. A bit awkward as that table sits right in the middle of the group of tables currently being used for our event.
Greg Mueller raised preflop for 6,000 and Larry Marshall moved all in for another 24,000 more. Greg called and showed while Marshall turned over A-10. Marshall spiked a 10 on the flop and Greg failed to improve.
The following hand, Greg made it 6,000 again preflop and a player at his table raised it to 18,000. Greg reraised to 58,000 and his opponent folded. Immediately after, Jon Friedberg, who's currently sitting at the same table, asked "Can I have a table change? This table's a little crazy."
That was Gregg Merkow who was involved in those hands with Tommy Vu from before. The pair just clashed again, and this time Vu had pocket kings vs. Merkow's pocket queens.
"That's so sick," said Merkow, echoing an oft-uttered poker player's lament. Vu's kings held up, and he's bounced way back up to 145,000. Merkow is down to 28,000.
