Hands:
Jon Turner Loses Some, Gets it Back
With pocket jacks Jon Turner doubled up Heather Sue Mercer, who held pocket kings. Luckily for Turner her stack was only 15 big blinds. He dropped to 75,000 after the hand, but eventually rebuilt his stack to 115,000.
J.C. Alvarado Eliminated
J.C. Alvarado lost two hands consecutively that would have put him back in contention. First his A-K was unable to outrace an opponent’s pocket fives, and then his K-10 lost versus 8-9 off suit. He was gone after the last hand.
Olivier Busquet Busts Lex Veldhuis
Olivier Busquet flatted an out-of-position raise from Lex Veldhuis with the A
9. The flop fell A-9-4 and Busquet check every street until the river, when he check-raised all in. Veldhuis called and was gone. Busquet was at 103,000 after the hand.
Daniel Cates Doubles Up
Daniel Cates called a 2,700-chip bet and so did one other player. The flop fell J
3
2 and Cates shoved. The preflop raiser called and the other guy folded. Cates exposed the J 4 for a pair of jacks, and his opponent tabled the K Q
. The turn and river fell safe for Cates and he doubled to 26,000.
Daniel Negreanu Over 100,000
Greg Vogelsong raised to 4,600, and Daniel Negreanu called. Both players saw a flop of A-4-3 and action went check-check. A king on the turn prompted a bet from Negreanu and a fold from this opponent. Negreanu tabled a wheel and was at more than 100,000 after the hand.
