6th place: Alexandre Bedard

2014/09/03 8:46pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 12 - $500 + $50 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack

Alexandre Bedard opened to 50K from the button in a unopened pot, and was followed by an all-in from Gregory Katayami in the big blind. Having already wagered 20% of his stack, Alexandre committed his remaining 200K into the middle.

Alexandre: Ace of Clubs 6 of Clubs

Gregory: Ace of Hearts Queen of Hearts

Alexandre found some help on the turn pairing his 6, but Gregory made the winning hand on the river by hitting a queen.

6th place: Alexandre Bedard, $4,800

Richard: Ace of Diamonds Jack of Spades

Steve’s pair of nines held on the 5 of Hearts 4 of Spades 5 of Spades 2 of Clubs King of Hearts board to score the knock-out.

Tournament: Event 12 - $500 + $50 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack

Mike Fraser was playing very passively today, and was blinded down until just one big blind. Sitting in the big blind, he was automatically all-in. Play folded around until Gregory Katayama on the button, who moved his 250K stack in to go heads-up with Mike.

Mike: Ace of Spades 6 of Spades

Gregory: 10 of Diamonds 7 of Diamonds

Gregory made two pair to eliminate Mike in 8th place.

First all-in and call

2014/09/03 7:32pm by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 12 - $500 + $50 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack

We just witnessed the first all-in and call of the night, as Thanh-Phong Bui 4-bet jammed his 325K stack and got called by Richer Leger. They both turned over the same hand, a pair of sixes, with Thanh-Phong holding black cards, and Richard with red sixes. There was a sweat, as the turn brought a third diamond on board, but the hand finished in a chop.

Daraiche takes the lead

2014/09/03 1:14am by Playground Poker
Tournament: Event 12 - $500 + $50 No Limit Hold'em Deepstack

On a board showing 3 of Spades 4 of Diamonds 5 of Clubs 9 of Diamonds 10 of Hearts, and with a few hundred thousand already in the middle, we just witnessed Steve Daraiche come over the top of Garry Lucci’s 200K river bet. Steve wagered the rest of his stack, which had Garry covered, and after a few moments, Garry let go of his hand.

“Do you want to see?” asked Steve. Garry nodded, and Steve turned over 6 of Spades 7 of Hearts for the nut straight.

With that pot, Steve moved into the chip lead, holding slightly more than 1 million in chips.
