Delaney Drops

[user135779]

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Delaney has slipped to less than 350,000 in chips after losing pots to Simon Charette, Kosta Varoxis and Leo Boxell.

Charette raised to 22,000 from under the gun and Delaney called from the button to go heads-up to a flop of {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} . Charette bet 32,500 and Delaney called before folding to Charette's second barrel of 55,500 on the turn of the {2-Diamonds} .

"I wish, I wish I had checked!" Charette lamented as he flashed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} for what would have only been the nuts.

In the very next hand, Delaney raised to 20,000 from the button and Varoxis called from the big blind before both players checked all the way down the board of {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs} . Delaney showed {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} but Varoxis' {j-Spades} {5-Diamonds} was good.

Then we caught action between Delaney and Leo Boxell on a flop that read {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} ; Delaney opened for 30,000 and Boxell called before both players checked the turn of the {10-Hearts} . Delaney checked on the river of the {A-Diamonds} , but folded after Boxell quickly fired out a bet.
