Forrest Doubles

Ted Forrest
Ted Forrest

Ted Forrest was all in preflop for his last 8,250 with {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and found himself up against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} of an opponent in middle position.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Forrest's kings hold up for the double up.

"Suckout..." commented someone from a nearby table.

"I feel like it was!" laughed Forrest as he chips up to 17,000.

Feldman Loses a Few

The board showed {J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} when the player in the big blind fired a bet of 1,200 into a 3,000-chip pot. Peter Feldman, on the button, thought a beat then made the call.

The river then brought the {10-Hearts}. This time Feldman's opponent bet 1,400, and Feldman again considered then made the call. His opponent tabled {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for jacks, and Feldman mucked.

Feldman has 49,000, down just a bit from what he started with today.

Lieu-ser

Liz Lieu limped under the gun, 2 players called and the button raised. Lieu moved all in and the small blind called. Lieu was in a lot of trouble as her {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} was dominated by the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} of the small blind.

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Lieu was sent to the rail.

Sarwer Hits the Slot Machine

Jeff Sarwer opened for 1,250 from under-the-gun and both blinds called. The action was checked to him on the {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop and he made a 2,700 continuation bet. The small blind moved all-in for 12,175, the big blind folded, and Sarwer made the call.

Small blind {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Sarwer {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The turn was the {K-Diamonds}, the river was the {K-Hearts}, and Sarwer took down the pot with sevens full, increasing his stack to 62,000.

Williams Bumps Into Kings

David Williams raised to 1,200 before Manny Minaya re-raised to 3,200 from the button. Williams made the call.

The flop landed {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn. Williams led out for 4,000 and Minaya made the call before the {3-Hearts} fell on the river. Williams fired again for 7,500 and Minaya looked him up.

Williams opened {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} but it was no good as Minaya showed {K-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Williams is back to 125,000 while Minaya chips up to 52,000.

Baker Boats Up

The small blind checked a {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board to Mandy Baker. With 10,000 already in the middle, she bet 7,800. He paused a moment and made the call, but he regretted it when he saw her {k-Spades}{7-Spades} had made sevens full. She scooped the nice pot to move up to 90,800.

Mizrachi Goes Boom

On the flop of {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Robert Mizrachi fired 1,150. Raymond Davis raised to 5,000 and Mizrachi called. The turn card brought the {J-Spades} and Mizrachi led again, this time for 8,650. Davis moved all in and Mizrachi snap-called.

Davis held the {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a straight, but Mizrachi had him on the turn with the {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Davis shoved for about 30,000.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and officially ended things, sending Davis to the rail and Mizrachi to 144,000 in chips.

Five-Bet Victory for Jensen

Facing a raise to 1,250 and a call, Frederick Jensen three-bet to 4,800 from the big blind.

The initial raiser then made it 11,250 to go to prompt a fold from the player in the middle before Jensen five-bet all in for 44,450 to eventually prompt a fold from his opponent.

Jensen is now sitting on just under 60,000 in chips.

Mandel Rides Cowboys to the Rail

When we walked over, Scott Mandel and his opponent had all of their chips in the middle facing a board of {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades}. Mandel, who finished fifth in the $5k PLO event earlier in the series, held {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, Unfortunately for him, the other player had the nuts. Kind of tough to beat quad queens. After both stacks had been counted and recounted, it turns out that Mandel was just covered. He shook hands with his opponent and headed to the hall.
