Dominik Nitsche - sent home to win millions online

Robert Mizrachi raised from his big stack, Dominik Nitsche cold-called from his little stack and Sandra Naujoks also called with her medium sized stack.

Flop: {Q-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Naujoks checked to Mizrachi, and the raiser bet 1,400. Nitsche was next to act and he made the call, as did Naujoks.

Turn: {K-Spades}

Checkity-check-check

River: {2-Diamonds}

Both Naujoks and Mizrachi checked to Nitsche who moved all-in for 5,175 and Naujoks made the call before Mizrachi folded. It was curtains for Nitsche.

Showdown

Naujoks
Nitsche

Nitsche was angry with himself, "I nearly checked back that river as well," said Nitsche before heading to his room to play online.

Try, Try Again; Then Give Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Barry Greenstein raised to 750 in early position, and he found calls from both Sergey Novikov (two seats over) and Dan Kelly (button). Kelly would fold on the flop as Greenstein bet 1,300 on the {A-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} . Novikov called, though, and he called another 2,500 after the {10-Hearts} turn. The river brought the {3-Clubs} and a third bullet from Greenstein -- a rainbow bet of 6,500. Novikov stacked together the call, then announced a raise. He put out 18,500, and Greenstein quickly folded, dipping a bit under starting stack.

Kelly KO'd

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan Kelly came pacing past us on his way out the door, so we hustled to his table just in time to see what had happened to him. With the help of James Dempsey, we know that Kelly three-bet a preflop raiser with pocket queens. The flop came ten-high, {10-} {4-} {7-} , and the caller check-raised Kelly's continuation bet. Kelly shoved over the top, and his opponent quickly called, turning over {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} for top set. Kelly was dead to two outs, and the turn and river blanked off to send him on his way.

Steve Billirakis Has Been Eliminated

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

[user169505]

Apologies for the sketchy update here but we didn't actually see Steve Billirakis bust and have received this information second hand.

His unknown conqueror raised to 625 on the button and Steve Billirakis three-bet to 2,100 from the big blind. Back on to the button and he raised to 4,600. Billirakis made it 9,200 and the player on the button moved all-in and Billirakis called.
