Waxing the Competition

With the final board reading {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}, a player checked to Matt Waxman. A bet of 2,750 was decided on by Waxman and he dropped it out in front of his cards. His opponent tanked for a few minutes, but then made the call.

Waxman tabled the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a set of nines and won the pot to move his stack to 18,500 in chips.

Marked Antony

Antony Lellouche has been eliminated according to Stuart Rutter. He had lost most of his chips calling a raise on a {J-Clubs} {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop before checking raising his opponent all-in on a {K-Spades} turn with {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Lellouche's opponent though had just flat-called the initial raise with {K-} {K-} and happily put the rest of his chips in with top set leaving the Frenchman crippled and soon after, eliminated.

Montgomery Climbs

John Juanda (big blind) and Scott Montgomery (UTG+2) reached a flop of {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} where Montgomery led for 700. Juanda matched the bet.

After both players had checked the {2-Diamonds} turn, Juanda fired out 1,125 on the {3-Hearts} river. Montgomery made the call.

Juanda: {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}
Montgomery: {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Montgomery climbs to 8,500.

Sit Down, You're Serocking The Boat

Javed Abrahams is a well-respected English player with several deep finishes in many tournaments, most recently at the EPT in Tallinn. Joe Serock though, has just managed to push him off a hand when it was check to Abrahams on the river of a {6-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} board.

Abrahams bet 2,600 on the end only for Serock to check-raise to 10,000 total, Abrahams affected a look of concern but silently folded, handing his opponent the pot.

Eli Heath

A quick scour around the room revealed that Brit Eli Heath is the current chip leader with a a stack that's at least double his age. He currently leads the pack with 45,000.

Juanda Eliminated

John Juanda

I didn't catch the exit, but John Juanda standing from his chair, walking away from the table, and leaving no chips on the felt immediately before him signifying that he was possibly out.

Rungood Toby, Toby Rungood

That is what all of Toby Lewis' mates call him. After having quad queens against Andrew Robl's quad nines in a recent TV tournament, Lewis is at it again with the quad queens, though this time none were in his hand.

"I run so good," he laughed, explaining how he had flipped with {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} against {8-} {8-} after Chris Moorman had folded an ace. "The flop came {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {3-} and then another {Q-Diamonds} on the turn, so I called for the {Q-Clubs} on the river and it came!"

The EPT Vilamoura champion has about 11,000.
