Mar 30, '14
Vincent Remmel raised to 7,000 from early position and Brandon Honig three-bet to 22,000. Damon Shulenberger moved all in for 16,000 and Remmel called the three-bet. With Shulenberger all in, Remmel and Honig were heads-up for a side pot.
The flop was AAA and Remmel check-called 40,000 from Honig. Both players checked the 9 turn card and the dealer burned and turned the 6 river card. Remmel leads out for 60,000 and Honig calls.
Remmel shows QQ and scoops the whole pot as Honig shows 1010 and Shulenberger tabled KQ.
Remmel is starting to run away with the chip lead as he sits with 643,500 while Honig slips to 138,000 and Shulenberger is the bubble boy. The remaining 18 players are all guaranteed at least a min-cash of $2,367.

Neal Blumenfield Eliminated by Brandon Honig
Mar 30, '14
Neal Blumenfield check-raised all in on the turn with the board reading K92A and Brandon Honig went into the tank. After a little while in the tank, Honig announced a call.
Honig was in the lead with K9 and needed to dodge a heart against Blumenfield’s 98. The river was the K to give Honig a full house and the dealer needed to count down Blumenfield’s stack to verify that he was covered by Honig. Blumenfield had roughly 85,000 in his stack on the turn and Honig had him covered.
Honig shoots up to the top of the chip counts with that hand, sitting with 286,000.
