PLO Playing Big

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

A quick survey around the room leads us to believe about 40% of the field has finished their matches already. From what we're hearing and seeing the PLO rounds are playing especially big.

Stout and Lamb Make Exit

We found Matt Stout down to his last barrel and was short stacked. He got it all in preflop holding pocket sixes against Trevor Pope's {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. The board ran {4-Spades} {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {A-Hearts} and Stout was eliminated.

Ben Lamb and Jim Collopy went to flop of {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and Lamb check-raised all in. Collopy called, tabled {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and Lamb was drawing to a straight flush holding {5-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. He bricked when the board finished {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and exited the Brasilia Room.

Of Course Duhamel's Through

"Of course I'm through," said a confident and slightly jesting Jonathan Duhamel.

The Team PokerStars Pro told us that his opponent (Noah Boeken) moved all-in for his last 15 big blinds with eight-nine off-suit. Duhamel called with ace-queen and found a match for both of them on the flop.

British Advancement

Ben Vinson and Stephen Chidwick made quick work of their matches to advance.

Vinson had his opponent on his third bullet when he min raised with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. His opponent three-bet all-in (20bbs) with pocket threes but was eliminated when the Brit called and hit a jack.

A few moments later Chidwick three-bet called with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} on a {q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop. His opponent opened {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and stayed behind through the turn and river.
