Razo Chipping Up

Brain Razo had an opponent all in preflop to be in great shape with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} against {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop virtually ended proceedings, and once the {8-Clubs} and {A-Spades} on the turn and river landed, Razo sent his opponent to the rail while also chipping up to 180,000 in chips.

Pattinson Marches On

Dustin Pattinson raised from late position, only to be faced with a reraise from Michael Lytle in the cutoff. Frank Guida made the call and Pattinson moved all in. Lytle snap called and Guida came along for the ride. Pattinson and Guida were at risk with Lytle having both of them covered.

Pattinson: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Lytle: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Guida: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} giving Pattinson a set. The {7-Diamonds} fell on the turn and the {4-Clubs} on the river.

Pattinson is up to 230,000 while Lytle was crippled to around 6,000. Guida was eliminated and will have to find solace at the payout desk.

Chidwick Clipped

On a flop of {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} Kevin Schaffel checked and Stephen Chidwick fired out 12,500 with Schaffel calling.

The turn of the {8-Hearts} was checked through to see the {A-Clubs} fall on the river and another check follow from Schaffel.

Chidwick fired out 25,500 and Schaffel made the call tabling his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} to best Chidwick's {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

With that pot, Chidwick slipped to 22,000 as Schaffel climbed to 200,000 in chips.

Where's My Coffee At?

Luigi Caramatti
Luigi Caramatti

"If I go all in, I will have to push in my coffee!" stated Luigi Caramatti in his Italian broken-English.

The reason why?

Apparently he accidentally dropped a few chips into his coffee after raking a big pot in.

Fortunately for Caramatti however is that he has a healthy stack of 465,000, and a few chips missing (for the time being) won't hurt him too muck!

Wong Bumped By Phillips

On a flop of {8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} the action was checked to Carter Phillips who opted to fire out a bet of 15,000 with only Jerry Wong coming along.

When the turn landed the {4-Hearts} Wong led out for 30,000 and Phillips smooth-called to see the {10-Spades} land on the river.

Wong moved all in for his last 130,200 and Phillips went deep into the tank before eventually making the call.

Wong tabled his {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for middle-pair, but it would be Phillips' {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for top-pair that would be enough to see him collect the pot and move to 520,000 as Wong made his way to the rail.

Nines for Marafioti

Quickly rushing over we found Matt Marafioti's {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} face up and a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}.

An opponent was cutting down chips equal to the amount that Marafioti had remaining, so one can only assume that he doubled through said player with his pocket nines.

Marafioti now has a little over 135,000 in chips.
