Big Hands:
Boy Oh Boyer
Andre Boyer is picking a nice time to start catching some cards, and he's used that momentum to climb among the leaders. In one interesting hand, Boyer was up against Jeff Siegal. Siegal had raised to 6000 and Boyer reraised to 9000 while showing the A
, this despite the A
and A
having already been mucked by others. Siegal made the call with the 6. Boyer bet out on every street to the end, finishing with A4K8. His clubs seemed to negate the hand of Siegal, who opened with 6JQ8. Siegal appeared tempted to fold on sixth street, and took his time before deciding to call again on seventh. Boyer then showed A
K8 in the hole for aces-up. Siegal mucked his hand.
Boyer then busted the short-stacked Joel Fischbein a few hands later. With 3599, Boyer again bet on every street and drew calls, until Fischbein committed his final 2300 on sixth street. Boyer flipped over pocket queens for queens and nines, while Fischbein, with J825 was trying to back into a flush. It never came and Fischbein was eliminated in 19th place.
Nicholson Sent Packing
Chris McIntyre opened with 78 and picked up the 4 on fifth street. Ryan Nicholson opened with 85 and was all-in once he connected with the A on fifth street, having the A in the hole. But McIntyre had two buried hearts and added a fifth on sixth street to complete the flush and the elimination.
Townsend Takes a Hit, Then a Hike
Charlie Townsend lost a large portion of his chips in a battle with Greg Pappas. Townsend opened with potential, drawing the 10AJ3. He bet on fourth street, then check-called the rest of the way. Pappas was showing 7K92. When it came to the showdown, Pappas said, "all I have is the flush I started with," showing the 85. That was enough to scoop the pot, and Townsend was eliminated a few hands later.
