The action was heavy preflop as three players saw a flop. Guillaume Rivet bet and was raised by Francesco Barbaro. Men Nguyen joined in by calling and the players saw the on the turn which got checked around. The river was checked around as well and it was time for the players to reveal what they had. Rivet announced “Ace, six” and Barbaro immediately mucked. Rivet revealed his and Nguyen looked at his cards before he showed two fives and mucked his other two.
We found Humberto Brenes and Erik Seidel battling on a flop. Brenes led out and Seidel raised. Not to be deterred, Brenes three bet and Seidel just called. On the turn, Brenes bet and Seidel called again. Humberto then bet enough when the fell on the river to put Seidel all in. Seidel put the rest of his chips at risk only to be shown the of Brenes which was good. Seidel added another cash to his resume in the year of the Seiborg.
A pot developed between Vladimir Shchemelev, Scott Clements, and Eric Cloutier that is most likely the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.
All three players had 36,000 in before the flop came down . Clements checked, Cloutier bet 6,000, Shchemelev raised and both Clements and Cloutier called.
The turn fell and this is where all the action happened. Clements first bet 12,000 from the small blind, Cloutier called, Shchemelev made it 24,000, Clements made it 36,000, Cloutier went all in and made it 48,000, Shchemelev called, Clements then raised to 60,000 and Shchemelev called.
The river was the and both players checked.
Clements showed for a four-five low and a flush. Shchemelev showed for the nut low. The two players chopped the 300k+ pot and Cloutier was eliminated.
Shchemelev is still around 315,000 and Clements is up around 190,000
James Dempsey was all in blind preflop against Jimmy Fricke and Cameron Mckinley. We missed the flop action but Mckinley led out on the board and Fricke called. The same betting occurred when the hit the river. Mckinley showed for the nut flush. Fricke had for the nut low. Dempsey would have to hold the same nut low in his hand in order to win a quarter of the main pot. Unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be as he turned over a measly . Good show old chap.
We just saw 2010 $50,000 Poker Player's Championship Runner-Up Vladimir Shchemelev's set of queens take down David Sindelar's aces and bust him from the tournament. About 45 minutes ago we reported Shchemelev having around 85,000 chips, but now he is our massive chip leader with around 315,000 entering the final break of the day.
We reported before that we thought Barry Greenstein was out because we saw him signing a copy of his book as he does every time he busts a tournament, but apparently it was just for an adoring fan (Sorry Barry).
This time, although we didn't catch how it happened (although we may ask to borrow the book to see how it went down) Barry got his chips in the middle against Vladimir Shchemelev who ended up taking down the pot and the book.
We missed the action but saw Allen Cunningham chop the pot against Men Nguyen when Cunningham was all in. According to several players at the table, Nguyen slowrolled Cunningham by making a delayed all in call with the nuts. Needless to say, this isn't the first sketchy incident for Nguyen today.
