One For Wuyyuru

Venu Wuyyuru fans can rest easy, as he is now in great shape after doubling up with {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} against an opponent who committed himself with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

The board fell {K-Spades}{2-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Spades}, giving Wuyyuru a set of jacks and the pot as he moves up to 13,000 in chips.

It Ain't Easy Flopping Quads

Roy Vandersluis just experienced one of those bittersweet moments in poker we all love to hate -- flopping quads and not getting any action with them.

Holding {Q-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, Vandersluis watched the flop come down {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. In an attempt to let his opponents catch up, he checked the flop, the turn ({K-Diamonds}) and the river ({9-Diamonds}) only to watch his opponents check right behind.

Still, it's true what they say: it's better to win a small pot than lose a big one, and this small pot lifted Roy up to 13,000 in chips.

Tang You Very Much

Danny Tang just got the best of a three-way all in that helped him climb to 19,000 in chips.

On a board showing {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, Tang got involved with {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and had both of his opponents covered. At the showdown, he found himself up against {A-Spades} {5-Spades} and {3-Hearts} {4-Hearts}.

Running sixes on the turn and river gave Tang two pair, counterfitting his opponent's aces and fives and earning him the checkmark for the hand.

Malishev Claims Another

Andrew Jeffreys opened with a raise to 1,050 from early position before Adam Malishev bumped it to 2,700. Dion George moved all in for 1,300 from late position, and the action folded back to Jeffreys who tanked before making the call.

With a player all in, the two live players checked down a board of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. George had missed with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}, Jeffreys flashed a pair of sevens but Malishev took the pot with his {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} to jump up to 16,000 and send George to the rail.

Lee Leads

Hong Lee has stormed up the chip count leaderboard after a massive three-way all in clash. Lee held {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} to be in a dominant position against his opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The board fell {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts} to send two to the exit as Lee stacked up 19,000 worth of chips.

Half Empty or Half Full?

It's usually not strange to have lost a large portion of the field by level seven of a tournament, however with this tournament less than three hours old, we're already in that situation! This one is moving quickly with already half the field gone. There are only 210 players remaining!
