Maxwell Troy out in 3rd place.
Maxwell Troy out in 3rd place.

Troy: {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} / {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} / {3-Hearts}
Landfish: {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} / {Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} / {5-Spades}

Steve Landfish raised Bertrand Grospellier's bring in and Maxwell Troy made it two bets. Landfish bumped it up to three bets and Troy called with not too much more behind. Landfish bet on fourth then check-called Troy's all in move on fifth street. Landfish's queens were ahead of Troy's nines, the former improving to two pair on seventh but Troy couldn't catch a nine or ace to make a better hand.

We're now heads up!

Biggest Pot of the Tournament?

It took us a whopping 13 hands in a row before the players saw sixth street but what a hand it was.

Grospellier: {X-}{X-} / {2-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{J-Spades} / {X-}
Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} / {X-}
Troy: {X-}{X-} / {J-Hearts} FOLDED

Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier brought in, Steve Landfish completed and Maxwell Troy called, ElkY raised, Landifsh called and Troy folded. Landfish check-called ElkY’s bet on fourth. Fifth is where the action got heavy. ElkY bet, Landfish raised, ElkY re-raised, Landfish four-bet and ElkY called. Sixth was tamer where Landfish bet and ElkY just called. On seventh, Landfish bet once more and ElkY laid it down. With that pot, Landfish has stormed back into the chip lead.

Landfish Drops Troy

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Maxwell Troy’s stack took quite a hit at the hands of Steve Landfish. First this hand occurred.

Troy: {X-}{X-} / {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {X-}
Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {X-}

Troy brought in, Landfish completed, Troy raised and Landfish called. Both players checked fourth and Troy called Landfish’s bet on fifth. On sixth, with Landfish showing two pair, he bet and was surprisingly met with a raise by Troy. Landfish just called and then check-raised on seventh. Troy frustratingly folded as Landfish won the hand.

Another hand then happened between the two shortly after.

Troy: {X-}{X-} / {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} / {X-}
Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} / {X-}

Troy brough in, Landfish completed, Troy raised, Landfish re-raised and Troy called. On fourth Landfish bet and called when he got raised by Troy. Landfish check-called Troy’s bet on fifth and both players checked sixth. Landfish bet seventh which was enough as Troy folded and was down to 220,000 after that hand.

Troy would rebound a bit by winning a couple of pots after that but is still the shortstack. In other news, Bertrand Grospellier continues to build on his lead.

Troy: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs} FOLDED

Landfish: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} / {x-}

Maxwell Troy brought in, Bertrand Grospellier raised and Steve Landfish called, as did Troy. Grospellier fired on fourth and both other players called, on fifth the Frenchman fired again, Troy folding but Landfish calling as well as more bets on sixth and seventh.

ElkY turned over {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for two pair, jacks up and won again

Elky Dominating

In a series of hands, Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier has stormed into the chip lead and has around half of the total chips in play while the other two players are around equal.

Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} / {X-}
Grospellier: {J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} / {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} / {9-Clubs}

First, Steve Landfish brought in and called after ElkY completed. ElkY check-called Landfish’s bet on fourth. On fifth when Landfish paired up, he bet only to get raised by Elky. Landfish called and bet sixth where ElkY made the call. Landfish check-called the river only to be shown the straight of ElkY which caused Landfish to muck.

ElkY took down the next two pots without showdown when the following hand took place.

Troy: {X-}{X-} / {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} / {X-}
Grospellier: {X-}{X-} / {J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} / {X-}

Maxwell Troy brought in and raised after ElkY completed. ElkY came back with a re-raise which Troy just called. On the next two streets ElkY bet with Troy calling fourth and when he paired up on fifth, he check-called. Both players checked sixth and on seventh Troy bet and ElkY called. Troy immediately said “you’re good” and mucked his hand as ElkY showed {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} for a pair of jacks.
