Watkinson Doubles with Flush

Livello 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player under the gun raised to 500 and then Lee Watkinson reraised all in to 1,000. The original raiser called and the hands were tabled.

Watkinson: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran through {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{*h}{K-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Watkinson's heart flush gave him the double up. He's now got 2,300 in chips.

Griffin Sends Keating Into Tank

Livello 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ashton Griffin opened with a raise to 400 and Alex Keating reraised to 1,500. Action folded back to Griffin and he made the call to see the flop come down {Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Both players checked and the turn brought the {3-Diamonds}. Griffin checked and Keating bet 1,200. Griffin made the call.

After the {K-Spades} fell on the river, Griffin led for 4,400. Keating tanked for a bit before eventually mucking his hand. He wanted to see Griffin's cards, but Griffin didn't show and slid them into the muck.

Griffin moved to 25,000 while Keating dropped back a little bit to 22,000.

Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

Jason Mercier is back to playing in this Omaha event as he is still alive in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship, but currently on break.

We caught up to see him fire out 1,125 from the small blind on a flop of {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. His opponent called from the big blind. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and this time Mercier made it 3,075 and the big blind quickly called once again. When the {A-Clubs} hit the river, Mercier checked and his opponent fired out 3,000. Mercier tossed his hand into the muck and is knocked down to roughly 13,500.

Blumenthal Building

Livello 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Eddie Blumenthal has been having himself a great 2011 World Series of Poker. He's cashed twice already this year and both of those cashes have been deep final-table runs. First, Blumenthal placed fourth in Event #4: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em for $255,828. A couple days later, Blumenthal finished runner-up in Event #10: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed for $334,756. He currently sits fifth on the 2011 WSOP Player of the Year leader board and is off to a solid start here in Event #22: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha.

Checking on his stack right now, Blumenthal has built to 22,000 in chips. We'll be sure to keep an eye on him and see if he can make a third deep run and final table in this event.

Juanda Hits The Rail

Livello 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

From the button, John Juanda raised to 400 and was called by both the small and big blind. The flop came {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and the player in the small blind checked. The player in the big blind fired out a bet and Juanda instantly raised, dropping the rest of his stack in the middle. The small blind mucked his cards and the player in the big blind made the call.

Juanda: {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The turn came the {8-Spades} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, allowing Juanda's opponent to hit a straight and sending Juanda to the rail a little more than two hours after he was officially awarded his bracelet from Event #16. Even as he walked away from the table, Juanda was still wearing a giant smile, this year already proving to be a major success.
