Turbulence for Turmezey

It's been up and down for Peter Turmezey of late.

First he pushed Per Hildebrand off a pot on the turn of a {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {K-Hearts} board, moving all in to Hidebrand's bet. Turmezey:1, Rest of Table:0.

But a few hands later the table(s) had turned -- on a {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} flop, Neil Channing checked to Turmezey who duly bet 1,200, but Turmezey then had to fold to Channing's all-in check-raise. Turmezey:1, Rest of Table:1.

Gavin Smith Eliminated

With Gavin Smith cracking kings earlier to double up, I suppose it's merely card karma that his were cracked just now by {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} with the board coming {J-?} {8-?} {6-?} {A-?} {Q-?} to send him to the rail with 30 minutes to go tonight.

Dwan a Little

Tom Dwan is down to 22,400 after making a good call on the flop but letting his opponent catch up on the river.

Dwan and Jamie Rosen called a raise from a player in early position before the flop came {2-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades}.

Dwan led out for 1,775 before the initial raiser raised up to 6,000. Rosen folded but Dwan made the call. After that they both checked through the {9-Diamonds} and {10-Hearts} river.

Dwan showed {Q-?} {7-?} but his opponent showed {A-Clubs} {10-Spades} for a pair of tens made on the river. Rosen showed that he folded {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}.

Rouas Takes One Down

Jennifer Tilly

Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott made it 1,500 in early position, and Jennifer Tilly swiftly called. A 'Fishy eyebrow was raised. Philippe Rouas in the big blind called as well.

All three players checked the {5-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {A-Diamonds} flop, but Rouas bet out 3,100 come the {Q-Diamonds} turn. Without further ado, Tilly and Devilfish both passed.

Table Tilly has now been broken, and curiously Tilly has been assigned Devilfish's former seat on Neil Channing's table.

The Choirboy Silenced

Gary "The Choirboy" Jones

The player UTG+1 opened for 1,050, two middle-position players called, Gary Jones moved all in for 3,800, the UTG+1 player moved all in for 14,750, one of the middle-position players called and the other folded.

Jones' {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} was in dire shape against {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} and {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}. The board ran out {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, the MP player's jacks holding, and Jones hit the rail with only minutes to go before we wrap for the day.

Who Has Moves? Juha Has Moves

Helppi and the table he bluffed
Helppi and the table he bluffed
Tom Dwan raised from early position to 1,675 and found callers in the shape of Lauri Keinonen, Jamie Rosen, and Philippe Rouas in the small blind. Juha Helppi decided to ruin the party though and reraised it up to 6,500.

One by one, his opponents folded and as Helppi was raking in the pot Dwan piped up and said, "Go on show the bluff."

That's exactly what the Finn did as he flipped up {5-Clubs} {3-Spades}!!
