Cheong Busts Lamprea

Evan Lamprea busto
Evan Lamprea busto

From the hijack seat, Joseph Cheong raised to 195,000. Evan Lamprea reraised all in for about 1.65 million. WHen action got back to Cheong, he asked for a rough count and then made the call. He held two black tens and Lamprea the {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

Let's flip for another tournament life.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Lamprea was still in need of some help with two cards to come. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and the river the {3-Diamonds}. Lamprea failed to hit and was sent to the rail.

Cheong increased to a whopping 12.9 million and is neck and neck with William Thorson for the lead.

The Original David Baker

David Baker raised from late position, and he would end up with all 1.75 million of his chips in the middle. Evgeny Shnayder was the would-be knocker-out, but Baker was ahead and in dominating shape to double.

Showdown
Baker: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Shnayder: {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

There was no funny stuff on the board, and Baker secured his double as it ran {Q-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. He's vaulted himself up to 3.75 million now, while Shnayder is left down around 390,000.

Fennell Felted, Jorgensen Jumps Back Up

James Fennell
James Fennell

Preflop betting between James Fennell and Theo Jorgensen resulted in Fennell getting the last of his chips in with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} against Jorgensen's {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop was not great for Fennell -- {4-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} -- giving Jorgensen two pair. The turn was the {A-Spades} and the river the {10-Clubs}, and Fennell is out in 48th place, earning $168,556.

"Well, we have Theo back everyone!" chimed Brandon Steven, alluding to the fact that after that one Jorgensen moves back up to 10.4 million.

Lodden Takes One From Sijpkens

Michiel Sijpkens raised the hijack position to 185,000 with Johnny Lodden making the call on the button.

They saw a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Sijpkens led out for 225,000. Lodden made the call in position.

The turn was a repeat {8-Diamonds} and Sijpkens fired again for 450,000 but Lodden responded by raising it up to 1.125 million. It was enough to see a fold from Sijpkens to give Lodden a nice pot without showdown. Lodden is up to 5.1 million with Sijpkens back to 3 million.

On The Rail

Frank Kassela has just wondered into the arena to check out all the action on the feature table.

Maybe just a fan of poker, or maybe just interested in how Michael Mizrachi fairs over the course of the day as anything other than a victory will see Kassela lock up Player of the Year.

Duy Trips Up In Multi-Way Pot

Damien Luis opened to 180,000 from under the gun and five players made the call; William Thorson, Corey Emery, Michael Mizrachi, Matt Affleck and Duy Le from the hi-jack onwards.

Thorson took the lead on the {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop firing out 350,000 with only Le making the call.

Both players checked the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} on the river to see Le table his {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to scoop the pot and move over the 6 million chip mark.

Senti Doubles with Quads

Jason Senti
Jason Senti

David Assouline and Jason Senti got all the money in preflop. Senti was the player at risk for his 1.8 million. He had the best hand with the {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} to Assouline's {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}.

The flop crushed any chance of Assouline sucking out when it came down {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} to give Senti quads. The turn and river completed the semantics of things with the {4-Diamonds} and {6-Spades}.

Senti doubled to 3.75 million while Assouline dropped to 4.1 million.

Fernandez Fizzles Out

Jacobo Fernandez
Jacobo Fernandez

Jacobo Fernandez was all in for his last 650,000 from the hijack seat. In the small blind, Adam Levy looked down at {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} and reraised all in himself, and that isolated him against Fernandez and his {A-Spades} {10-Spades} with a chance at the knockout.

The board came out {Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}, and that's no help for Fernandez. He's been cut down in 49th place, good for nearly $170,000. Not too shabby.
