Big Hands:
Dunst Cut In Half In Heartbreaking Pot
Ian Gordon moved all in for a little over 1 million and Tony Dunst snapped him off. Gordon turned over A
Q
but was dominated by Dunst’s A
A.
Another player at the table announced he mucked the case A
and that proved crushing as the flop fell QQ5, giving Gordon trip queens and a lock on the hand.
Dunst was drawing dead and to add insult to injury, the board finished off 2 and 2 to give Gordon a full house. Gordon doubled to 2 million while Dunst lost half of his stack, slipping to 900,000.
Guan Eliminated
Javier Martinez raised to 36,000 from the cutoff and Mozheng Guan repopped to 84,000 from the button. Martinez called and the flop came down A108.
Martinez led with 110,000 and Guan moved in for 480,000. Martinez made the call and turned over AQ for top pair and a club draw. Guan showed A6 for top pair and he was in trouble.
The turn was the 3 and the river was the 5, giving Martinez the flush and Guan was out.
Baldwin Makes It A Man’s World
Breeze Zuckerman, the last woman standing, moved all in preflop and Eric Baldwin looked her up from the button.
Baldwin: AA
Zuckerman: K10
Baldwin had Zuckerman in bad shape, but the flop gave her some help when it fell K75. The turn was the J, offering no help and the river sealed her fate when the Q showed up and Zuckerman was out. Baldwin was at 1.3 million after the hand.
Baker Doubles Up
David Baker moved all in for 200,000 preflop and David Assouline looked him up. Baker turned over 109 and was live against Assouline’s AJ.
The board ran out Q9884 to give Baker a pair of nines and the double up. He was at 480,000 after the hand while Assouline slipped to 1.1 million.
Panny Rides Into The Sunset
Sebastian Panny and Matthew Jarvis tangled in a huge pot that saw Panny all in preflop. Here were their hands:
Panny: 1010
Jarvis: KK
Panny was in trouble and the flop came K105 to give both players a set. The turn was a blank in the 9 and the river was the K, giving Jarvis quads.
Panny, who was in the top 10 chip counts early in the day, was sent crashing to the rail. Jarvis was at 4.6 million.
Pettit Gets Short, Then Busts
Michael Pettit found the bulk of his chips in the middle against Jacob Tyler after the flop fell KJ6.
Pettit was left with just 8,000 after Tyler was all in and Pettit tabled 109 for a straight flush draw. Tyler held J10 for middle pair.
The flush or straight never came and Pettit lost the pot. He would bust a few hands later.
Ruthless
Gualter Salles was all in preflop against Adam Levy. The cards were then turned over.
Salles: AJ
Levy: AQ
Levy was dominating and he put a vice-grip on the hand when the flop fell Q72. The board finished off 4 and 5 and Levy scored the knockout. He was at 2.15 million.
Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
The 2010 Main Event is down to one Mizrachi brother. Robert Mizrachi moved in for his last 196,000 from under the gun and Josue Sauvageau made the call from the cutoff.
Mizrachi: A10
Sauvageau: AK
Mizrachi was dominated and the flop brought no help as it fell J73. The turn was the 6 and the river was the 9, sending Mizrachi to the rail.
