Olisar Out

When we reached Table 48, Ryan Olisar was all in and at risk with {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of Serge Nadjar. The board did not improve Olisar's hand, and he was eliminated.

According to Simon Deadman, Olisar opened from the cutoff, and Nadjar three-bet from the small blind. Olisar four-bet shoved, and Nadjar made the call.

The rest is history.

Snippits From The Red Section

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Here is how a few small hands recently played out over in the Red Section of the Brasilia Room.

  • On John Juanda's table, there was a {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop showing and Juanda had check-raised on opponent who bet 4,250. The amount was enough to put this player all in and he went into the tank for over two minutes. Eventually the player said, "Either you have the same hand, or a set," turning over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} as he folded his hand.
  • Folded to to the player in the cutoff, they raised it up to 1,500. The player on the button called, along with Laak in the small blind. A {7-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop was turned over and Laak led for 2,000. That bet was enough to see both his opponents fold, sending the small pot to Laak.
  • When the under the gun plus one opened the pot to 1,325 everyone would fold around to Sam Grafton in the big blind. He made the call and the two players proceeded to play out a hand on a {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} board. Grafton check-called a bet of 1,500 on the flop. Both players checked the turn and Grafton checked the river, before his opponent would tank-bet 4,500. Grafton decided to fold and sent the chips away from his stack.

Gold Gets a Fold

2006 Main Event Champion Jamie Gold opened for 1,500 from the cutoff seat and found two callers in both players in the blinds.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and both players checked to Gold, who fired 2,500 into the middle. The player in the small called, but the big folded.

The {10-Hearts} fell on the turn and Gold's opponent again checked. Continuing with his aggression - Gold fired again for 7,000. His opponent tanked for a bit, but eventually folded and Gold scooped the pot.

Gold has nearly doubled his chips since the beginning of the day - he is up to 48,000.

Minieri Shoves With Ace High

We caught up with the action on a board of {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} to see Dario Minieri heads up with over 20,000 in the pot.

Minieri's opponent bet 13,600 and Minieri announced that he was all in. His opponent snap folded and Minieri triumphantly tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for merely ace-high.

"Oh my god!" another player chimed in from across the table. "So sick!"

Minieri is now sitting on about 72,000.

Idema Chips Up With Aces Up

A player opened with a 3x raise to 1,800 from under the gun, and it folded around to Dan Idema in the big blind who defended with a call. The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Idema checked, his opponent bet 3,200, and Idema called. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and both players quickly checked.

The river brought the {8-Spades} and a quick bet of 7,000 by Idema. His opponent thought for just a beat before calling, and when Idema tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for two pair, his opponent mucked.
