Big Hands:
Cardoza Eliminates Lawson And Other Player In Consecutive Hands, Takes Chip Lead
After break the bubble was just one hand away from popping, and once it did players started dropping like flies.
Ted Lawson raised 3,000 preflop and was called by the player in seat 3 and Avery Cardoza. The flop came Q
J
10 and all three players checked. The turn brought a seemingly harmless 5 - but this card lit the fuse. Lawson bet out and got all in only to be called by Cardoza, who held A8 for the nut flush. Lawson showed 5
5 for a set and asked for the board to pair but the 3 came on the river and Lawson was gone.
The following hand, Cardoza called the preflop raise of seat 1 and after a KQQ
Cardoza instantly called when seat 1 moved all in. Seat 1 showed AK, but he grabbed his things and prepared for his elimination when Cardoza flipped over Q10. Cardoza is the chip leader with around 155,000 in chips.
Mikolay Chipping Up
Bill Mikolay eliminated a player when his A-J paired twice on a A-K-J-4-4 board. His opponent showed Q-J before heading to claim his payout. With the pot, Mikolay is among the chip leaders with around 73,000 in chips.
"Rizen" Not Rizing
On a 984 flop, Eric "Rizen" Lynch called a 4,000 bet from the player in seat 4. The J came on the turn and seat 4 bet 8,000 more. Lynch thought then mucked his hand, taking a hit to his stack. He later busted.
Check, Check, Check, Lose
Ryan Young called another player's raise preflop and both players checked every card as it came out on the Q105J9 board. His opponent showed AJ and a club-less Young mucked. Young now has around in chips.
