Easy Does It

With the exception of the elimination of Michael Michnik, today's final table has been moving at a rather slow pace. We're not seeing a lot of action past the flop with many hands not even getting that far. Of course, we expect that to change as blinds continue to increase.

Big Pot for Dolan

John Dolan

With the board reading {6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} Daniel Fuhs fired a 100,000-chip bet from the big blid. In middle position, John Dolan made the call.

The turn card was a {3-Diamonds} and Daniel check-called a 200,000-chip bet from Dolan. The river brought a {10-Spades} to the table and Dolan moved all in after Fuhs checked.

Fuhs tanked for a very long time and eventually folded.

Dolan is now up to 1,450,000 and Fuhs slipped to 1,300,000 chips.

Nice One for Dufek

Sebastien Roy opened the pot from under the gun with a 68,000-chip raise, and was called by Peter Dufek in the big blind.

The flop spread {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Dufek check-called a 105,000-chip bet from Roy. Both players checked the {9-Clubs} on the turn, and when the {k-Clubs} hit the felt on the river, Dufek fired a 230,000-chip bet.

Roy eventually called and Dufek tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a full house.

Michael Michnik Eliminated in 9th Place ($35,986)

Michael Michnik - 9th Place
Michael Michnik - 9th Place

Michael Michnik was riding the short stack when he went all in from middle position. Mick Carlson was on the button and went all in over the top. The blinds folded and we were headed to a heads-up showdown.

Michnik: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Carlson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

Michnik was way behind and failed to improve on a flop of {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Carlson hit a set with the {a-Clubs} on the turn, but that also put a club draw on the board. If a club came on the river it would lead to a chopped pot. It wasn't to be, though. The river was the {7-Diamonds} which left Carlson's set on top and gave us our first elimination of the day.

Carlson is now up to about 1,200,000 chips.

Roy Puts Pressure on the Table

The action arrived to Sebastien Roy in the small blind with two limpers. Roy popped it to 126,000 and Daniel Fuhs called in the cutoff seat.

The flop ran out {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn card was a {8-Spades} and Roy fired a 151,000-chip bet. Fuhs tanked and eventually folded.

Pot for the chip leader.
