Jack Duong Puts the Pressure on... Himself

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Jack Duong
Jack Duong

With the board reading {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs} and around 40,000 in the pot already, Bernardo Dias had put out a stack of orange from middle position, putting Jack Duong to a decision for his remaining stack of 31,200.

Duong called the clock on himself, and when the floorperson came over to the table and learned he called it on himself, she announced that he had ten seconds left to act, and began counting down.

Duong was surprised and asked, "Hold on, what?"

His tablemates explained the rule that if you call the clock on yourself you only get ten seconds. The countdown had begun, and Duong said, "Wait. You already started?"

"Seven, six, five," and in a fluster, Duong put forward his stack to call.

Dias tabled {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, and Duong's {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for the straight to the king was good for the double up.

Johns Barrels Out Barstool Nate

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Ian Johns
Ian Johns

Eric "Barstool Nate" Nathan checked a {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop from middle position in what looked to be a three-bet pot. Ian Johns put in 16,000 from the cutoff, and Nathan called. The two quieted the lively conversation they'd been having and saw a {3-Clubs} turn. Nathan checked and Johns fired in 46,500. Nathan folded after thinking only briefly.

Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Catching the action with the board reading {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Chino Rheem checked over to Kenny Hallaert who bet 43,000.

Rheem went deep into the tank talking up a storm before eventually calling holding {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Hallaert tabled his {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a flopped straight to scoop the pot and move to 285,900 while Rheem dropped to 473,400 in chips.

O'Dea Folds the River

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Donnacha O'Dea
Donnacha O'Dea

Donnacha O'Dea was in the big blind facing an opponent on the button, and he bet 7,000 on a board of {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The player on the button called, and the river was a {7-Diamonds}. O'Dea thought awhile and then bet 15,000. His opponent put in a raise to 55,000. That represented most of what O'Dea had behind, and the Irish legend folded after about a minute.

Ravindran Takes from Mortensen

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

From under the gun, Morten Mortensen opened to 4,500 only to have Shyam Ravindran three-bet the small blind to 15,000.

Mortensen called, and when the dealer spread a {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop, Ravindran bet 15,000.

Mortensen quickly flicked his cards to the muck to relinquish the pot to Ravindran who climbed to 225,000 while Mortensen dropped to 285,000 in chips.

Fire Alarm or Matusow's Mouth...Which One is Louder?

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

Mike Matusow had been fairly quiet for the first hour or so and his chips were climbing. However, once the chips started to drop, Matusow's mouth started to open. "What do you think I am, a chump? How many times are you going to three-bet me?" Matusow was saying to his opponent beside him.

Merely seconds later, the fire alarms started to go off in the Amazon Room. "Every time I start to run my mouth, the fire alarms go off!" Matusow was screaming across the room. "Maybe we can get lucky and this place will actually burn down. Then we can all get our money back."

The table had a good laugh at Matusow competing with the fire alarm to see who could be louder.
