Another Player Falls Victim to Tyner, Tyner Then Takes a Huge Hit
Nancy Todd Tyner picks up some more chips as she just eliminated another player. All of the chips were in the middle preflop with Tyner holding A9 and her opponent held QJ.
The board ran out A2835 to give yet another pot to Tyner. Tyner had 170,000 in chips after the hand.
Later in the level a player in early position raised to 4,300 and Nancy Todd Tyner three bet. Action was folded around to her opponent who moved all in for 53,900 total. Tyner insta-called and tabled the AA. Her opponent exposed the QQ and the two players saw a flop of K107. All was good for Tyner until the Q spiked on the turn, giving her opponent a set of queens. The river bricked for Tyner and she was down to 125,000 after the hand.
Tim Phan Runs a Bluff and Sent Home
On the turn, the board read K536 and Tim Phan bet 9,000 and after a few moments of deliberation was called by his opponent. The river was the 5 and Phan instantly moved all in for 22,000 and was called fairly quickly by his opponent.
“You got me,” said Phan as he tossed his hand face down into the muck. His opponent showed 88 and took the pot, sending home one of the tougher players left in the field.
Lee Markholt Suffers Setback
We picked up the action on the river with Lee Markholt betting 6,600 on a board of A9358 and was instantly called by his opponent.
His opponent showed AJ, which was good against the A10 of Markholt. Markholt slipped to 24,000 at the end of the hand.
Joe Sebok Falls, Drew Crawford Rises
Joe Sebok shoved his last 8,000 into the middle from late position. The player on the button then made it 20,000 followed by a shove from Drew Crawford in the small blind. The player on the button immediately called for his 70,000 stack.
Sebok tabled A5, the player on the button showed KK and Crawford showed AQ.
The board ran out A76310, giving the pot to Crawford, and he climbed to 220,000, and is likely the chip leader.

Aguiar thought for a while before raising to 19,400. Lefew asked Aguiar how much he had behind and after he got the answer of 31,000, he proceeded to move all in and Aguiar instantly called.
Aguiar showed 44 and was way ahead of Lefew’s AK. After the 2 on the turn, Lefew was drawing dead and Aguiar doubled up to 110,000.
Nancy Todd Tyner Continues to Cruise
Nancy Todd Tyner called her opponent’s all in of 10,000 and was off to the races as she showed AQ and was up against the 66.
The board ran out K10AJA, giving the pot to Tyner and eliminating another player. Tyner now sits with over 150,000.
Jim Meehan Crippled, Busts the Following Hand
We caught up with the action on the turn with Jim Meehan’s AA laying on the table versus the QJ of an all-in opponent. The board read J1042. Meehan needed to avoid any club, queen or jack. One of those outs came in the form of the J, crippling Meehan to just 700 in chips.
The very next hand, Meehan was all in for less than the big blind with the K8 versus the pocket sevens of his opponent.
Jordan Morgan Wins a Nice Pot

Amarillo “Slim” Preston

Card Player Chip Counts:
Jon Friedberg – 30,000
Big Hands:
Slim Sent Home Early
After a bunch of folds, Amarillo “Slim” Preston raised to 3,000 from the cutoff. Nick Chlebeck then three-bet from the small blind to 8,500 and Preston eventually made the call. The flop fell 346 and Preston tried to move all-in out of turn. Once he was told that the action was on Chlebeck, Chlebeck checked and Preston put out a couple stacks of chips and in rapid succession Chlebeck moved all-in and was Preston moved all of his 30,000 into the middle.
Chlebeck showed AA and Preston was in bad shape tabling the A3. The turn was the 8 and the river was the 5 giving Preston a very early exit on Day 2. Chlebeck now has about 75,000 in chips.
Hamby Doubles Up Opponent, But Still Healthy
It folded to the player in the cutoff, who moved his last 9,600 into the middle. Jared Hamby was in the big blind and eventually tossed in a call. Hamby tabled A5 and was behind his opponent’s A8.
Hamby politely asked the dealer for a chop pot with a wry smile. Unfortunately the dealer put an 8 on the flop and Hamby was drawing dead on the turn. He still has 29,000 in chips.
Ladies Aren’t Lucky for Rousso
A player in middle position raised to 2,700 and Lisa Parsons raised from late position to 7,000. Vanessa Rousso then moved all in for 30,000 and the original raiser moved in for 46,600. Parsons then folds A-K face up and the other two hands were revealed.
Rousso showed the QQ and was up against the KK of her opponent. The board didn’t bring a queen for Rousso and the table got a little uglier with her exit.
Justin Young Puts an Opponent All In
Justin Young (22,000 in chips) bet 2,500 preflop and was called by an opponent. The flop came Q104 and Young’s opponent checked. Young announced all in, having his opponent significantly covered. His opponent, with only about 12,000 in chips left, tanked before folding. Young showed the AK and took the pot to increase his stack to 26,000.
Left In The Deck:
The money bubble has burst and the action seems to be picking up. We should expect to see a lot of action in the next few levels.
With so many bustouts and stoppages of time to manage the number of tables and players in the field, the tournament officials have put players on their 20 minute break a little early.
