Juczenko Captures Monster Pot With Nut-Nut

We caught the action on a flop of {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} with an early-position player betting out into three opponents. Eugene Juczenko made the call before Trung Tran raised on the button. Danny Mountt made the call in the big blind, as did the EP player and Juczenko.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds}. The action checked to Tran who bet. Mountt and the EP player called, before Juczenko announced a raise. Tran instantly put in another raise to drive the other two players out of the pot and leave Juczenko as the lone caller.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Juczenko came out firing with Tran making the call.

Tran showed {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a straight on the turn to go with his low, but Juczenko had caught running flush cards with {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for the rivered nut-nut.

Tran sighed as he slips back to 8,300 with Juczenko now up to 26,000.

Mountt Quarters (?) Kronos, Knocking Khouiss Out in the Process

Sam Khouiss - eliminated
Sam Khouiss - eliminated
On the heels of Tony G's lost chip, there's been more excitement from the tournament floor. Sam Khouiss, short on chips and the victim of a recent runner-runner beat, was visibly irritated. He directed some of his irritation at the dealer on his table, dropping multiple "f-bombs." The dealer informed Khouiss that such language would not be tolerated at the table, but Khouiss wouldn't stop.

After the completion of the deal, the dealer summoned a tournament supervisor to the table who assessed a one-orbit penalty on Khouiss. It turned out not to matter; Khouiss quickly got his remaining chips in against Danny Mountt and James Kronos. Kronos and Mountt checked down the turn and the river for a final board of {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {9-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Clubs}. The opened hands were as follows:

Khouiss: {J-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Kronos: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Mountt: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {4-Spades} {7-Spades}

Kronos flopped top set of nines, but lost the high half when Mountt made a baby flush on the turn and the board never repeated. It seemed as though each player tabled a live ace for low which should have resulted in Kronos being quartered for the low half, but the entire low half of the pot was awarded to Kronos.

Whether that was correct or not, it was clear that Khouiss was not entitled to either half. He's out.

Feeling Hungry...?

The players have just been reminded that this is the final level of play before a scheduled one-hour dinner break. Play will continue this evening right through until we crown ourselves a Champion!

"Somebody Call Lost and Found!"

We've seen plenty of unusual things covering poker tournaments, but we've never seen a player under a table -- until now. Tony G went to raise the 600-chip bet to 1,200 chips. He grabbed two purples (500) and two blacks (100) and tossed them onto the felt. Only one of the purples made it; the other one fell off the table and rolled underneath it.

Search parties were called to try to locate the wayward chip, with Tony himself getting down on his hands and knees to look for it. He circled the table, claiming that there must be a hole in the floor beneath the table because the chip was gone. Finally one of the floor staff disappeared underneath the table, ultimately emerging with a $5 cash chip and the errant purple tournament chip.

Jason Gray, one of the active players in the hand, asked that Tony G's bet not be considered a raise, but the staff ruled that because Tony had thrown multiple chips onto the felt in front of him in excess of those needed to just call, the raise would stand.

Tony didn't win that hand, but he did win the next hand, showing down {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} on a board of {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} for a wheel that collected both halves of the pot. He's now at 18,400 in the counts.

Tran Scoops

Sam Khouiss raised it up from the button with Trung Tran and Marsha Waggoner making the call out of the blinds.

The flop landed {10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and the blinds checked to Khouiss, who made a continuation bet which both opponents called.

The same trend followed when the {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn, before the {8-Clubs} on the river was checked around and the cards were tabled:

Khouiss: {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Tran: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Waggoner: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}

Tran showed down kings and eights for the high and the best low to scoop the entire pot. Tran jumps to 21,000 with Waggoner slipping to 12,000 and Khouiss down to his last 2,500.
