Junglen vs. Jacob

Adam Junglen raised to 800 from the cutoff and Alex Jacob called from the small blind. Both players checked the {A-Clubs} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts} flop. When the turn fell the {J-Clubs}, Jacob checked again, Junglen bet 1,500 and Jacob called. The {9-Hearts} on the river brought a check from Jacob and a 2,400 bet from Junglen. Jacob mucked his hand and Junglen won the pot.

After the hand Junglen was up to 18,500 while Jacob fell to 7,000.

Tilly Flummoxing Her Table

Fredrik Keitel, enjoying an extremely relaxing massage, raised to 1,000 from mid position. Jennifer Tilly in the big blind was the only caller.

The flop came down {6-Spades} {5-Spades} {2-Hearts} and Tilly bet out an interesting 900. Keitel eyed her suspiciously from below his forehead-rumpling head massage for some time. And then folded.

Dolly Rail

Only two tables left on the the balcony area here in the Empire and they're not throwing up much action at the moment. The most exciting moment came when Kara Scott and Mad Harper (EPT Media coordinator) came to rail a few players and say hello.

Kara, who finished 104th at this year's WSOP Main Event isn't playing here this week but will be seen playing a few EPTs in between her hosting role for any televised EPTS.

Channing Opens Doors for Keys

Just a few hands after moving to Table Devilfish, Neil Channing has doubled up James Keys.

There were a few limpers preflop including Channing on the button. Keys made it 1,300 from the small blind, and it folded around to Channing. He eyed up Keys' remaining chips, saw that they totaled only 5,000 or so, and called. The flop was dealt, Keys open-shoved, and Channing called.

Keys: {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}
Channing: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

Board: {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

Channing: "Yeeees, very nice hand, well played."
Keys: "Back up to half a stack now."

De Wolfe Didn't Eat All His Dinner

Roland de Wolfe made a raise from the cut off and the small blind made the call before the flop came {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}.

Both players checked so we got to see the {6-Diamonds} turn. This time the small blind player led out for 1,550 and de Wolfe called. The river {K-Diamonds} saw the small blind check to face a 2,000 bet from de Wolfe. He folded {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} face-up and de Wolfe showed {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}.

The small blind player then said to de Wolfe, "If you played that differently you could of got my whole stack."

De Wolfe still happy on 47,000.

Negreanu Takes the Chip Lead

Your new chip leader
Your new chip leader
Daniel Negreanu raised to 800 and Lars Hougaard made the call from the big blind. The flop was {9-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}. Hougaard checked, Negreanu bet 800 and Hougaard raised to 3,200.

"Hmmm. I have to think about the best way to approach this," said Negreanu before sliding out a stack of 50,000 chips, enough to set Hougaard all in.

Hougaard mumbled something we couldn't quite hear, but evidently Negreanu could.

"You have a pair AND a straight draw? OK, so you hit your miracle flop and have to fold?" he said with a chuckle.

"Seems like it," said Hougaard before mucking his cards.

"I have a set. You're a nice kid, so I'll show," said Negreanu, flashing {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} .

"I was in the same situation at the WSOP this summer. The flop was 6-8-9. I had two sixes and the other guy had two nines," he quipped as he raked in the pot.

Negreanu now on 95,000 and the clear chip leader.

Nutt Can't Crack Kings

Awww nutts....
Awww nutts....
Per Ummer opened for 800, Daniel Nutt reraised to 4,800 and David Harrison moved all in for about 11,000. Ummer gave up his hand and Nutt called.

Harrison {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

Nutt {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}

The board came {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} and Harrison doubled up to 22,500. Nutt was left with a still-healthy 27,400.
