Luongo Sent to the Payout Desk

Roberto Luongo
Roberto Luongo

We didn't catch the betting action, but we do know that NHL goalie Roberto Luongo was all in preflop with {4-}{4-} and in bad shape against the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} of Bryan Vanrijsbergen.

The {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} flop provided Luongo no help, while the {K-Clubs} river left him in need of a four on the river to keep his Main Event dreams alive. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {3-Hearts}. It was close, but not close enough. Luongo collected his things and made his way to the payout desk, adding a World Series of Poker Main Event cash to his résumé.

Tuchman Eliminated by Van Tran

We missed the hand but we were there for the aftermath. All the money went in on the river on a {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} board. David Tuchman held {K-} {Q-} for the Broadway straight. But Nghi Van Tran held {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} for the nut flush.

The stacks were counted and Van Tran had Tuchman just barely covered. Tuchman's in-money-finish is his second biggest cash on his resume, he finished in 4th place in a L.A. Poker Classic event in 2007.

Tough Table with Moreno, Renkers, Fair, Paur, Lindley and Alcober

There are definitely some tough tables out in the mix as there in every tournament, but Table 413 in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room is a very tough one with players that not everyone may recognize by face.

  • Seat 1 is Andrew Moreno, a regular on the Las Vegas cash game scene and cashing in his first World Series of Poker Main Event. Prior to this cash, Moreno's best live tournament result was an in-the-money finish in the WSOP Circuit Harrah's Rincon Main Event in 2011.
  • Seat 2 is Patrick Renkers, a Dutch tournament players with a couple impressive results including a deep run at the European Poker Tour Prague Main Event in 2011.
  • Seat 3 is Ryan Fair, who made a very deep run in the 2009 WSOP Main Event where he finished in 31st place for $253,941. Fair is commonly known by his online moniker "toetagU" and most famously won the 2010 Spring Championship of Online Poker Main Event High for over $1.162 million.
  • Seat 4 is Taylor Paur, who is another player at the table with an impressive tournament resumé that includes a fifth-place finish in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em - Six-Handed Championship for nearly $200,000. He's also earned over $3.5 million in online tournament winnings.
  • Seat 7 belongs to Christina Lindley and she'll be no pushover as well. Lindley has four WSOP cashes, a deep run at the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker in 2011 and two cashes from the North American Poker Tour.
  • Seat 8 is Benjamin Alcober, also known as "4XTRADER" in the online world where he's amassed nearly $1.1 million in tournament winnings. On the live poker side of things, Alcober has six WSOP cashes and over $88,000 in earnings.

On a recent hand, Paur and Alcober got into it that saw Paur double up to close to 400,000 in chips.

On the {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Paur bet 12,000 and Alcober fired in a raise to 28,000. Paur swung back with a reraise to 49,500 and Alcober went into the tank. Paur had 129,000 behind after his three-bet on the flop. Alcober put in another raise and made it 110,000 to go. Paur moved all in for 178.5 and Alcober called.

Paur showed the {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Alcober the {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The turn was the {3-Hearts} to pair the board and the river was the {5-Clubs} to pair it again. Paur's kings held up and he doubled through.

It doesn't look like this table will be breaking anytime soon, which leads to the belief that there will be plenty more action to be had at this table. Will one of these players become part of the 2012 final table? Stay tuned to PokerNews to find out!

Diaz's Day is Done

Jorddi Martinez raised to 11,500 and David Diaz, who has been participating in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing promotion all Main Event, moved all-in a few seats to his right. Everyone else folded and Martinez made the call.

Diaz turned over {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} but Martinez had him crushed with {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}. The board ran out {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Clubs} and Diaz's Main Event came to an end.

Mercier Falls

Jason Mercier (on Day 3)
Jason Mercier (on Day 3)

Jason Mercier moved all in for about 34,000 from the hijack and found a call from Micah Smith from the cutoff.

Mercier: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Smith: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop left Mercier in dire straits. He needed to catch something helpful on the turn to have a chance at catching a runner-runner, but the {3-Clubs} turn was not it. The river was irrelevant and Mercier has been eliminated.

Parker Gets Flushed

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We found Brock Parker and Micah Smith with a preflop all in showdown.

Parker: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}
Smith: {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

The board ran {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Smith caught a four-flush against Parker. Smith doubled up to stay alive and Parker's stack was a little lighter.

Allen Out

Shortly after the bubble bursting, Justin Allen put his short stack at risk with {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and was up against the {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} of Joshua Rotenberg.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, pairing Rotenberg but giving Allen a flush draw. The turn then brought the {3-Hearts} and river the {J-Hearts}, and Allen becomes one of the many minimum-cashers here as Level 16 edges to a close.

Singontiko Early Money Casualty

The cries of all in and call are coming from all over the amazon room now, and one in the tan section caught out eye. 2011 bracelet winner David Singontiko was all in preflop with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} but he ran into the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} of Daniel Dizenzo.

The flop gave Singontiko a sweat, coming {6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. But the {j-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Diamonds} on the river gave him no miracles. Singontiko is one of the first players to bust in the money.
