Eric Tomberlin Eliminated In 11th Place

May 07, '17

After suffering a brutal beat to Danny Wilson, Eric Tomberlin was left with 140,000. He pushed them in and Nghia Le moved all-in behind him to isolate.

Tomberlin held pocket deuces, but Le had overcards with AQ. The board fell AJJ99 and Tomberlin hit the rail. Le is still short with 500,000, but has some more breathing room.

The final 10 players are now redrawing for the official nine-handed final table.

Final table Set

Jul 02, '07

Hold'em Brings the Action

The seven card stud level was relatively slow, with chips mostly being passed from one player to another around the table.  The hold'em level changed all that.  Within minutes the 11th place finisher was eliminated.  David Duran raised the  blinds with K Q, Michael Craig reraised and Duran called all-in.  Craig revealed the 9 9 and after the board came down 7 4 2 4 5 Duran was sent to the rail in 11th ($7,507).  The remaining ten players were playing five handed at two tables. 

Cool YourJett-s

Chip Jett three bet it preflop and the player in the small blind called.  The flop brought the Q 10 6 and Jett bet.  After his opponent called the turn brought the 2.  Jett then checked, his opponent bet, and Jett raised.  His opponent reraised and Jett called.  The river brought the 3 and Jett check-called, only to see his opponent reveal the A A.  Jett flipped up his A Q with the frustration and his opponent raked the massive pot.

Juliano Maesano Takes 10th ($8,171)

All-in preflop with A J against K K, Maesano failed to improve and was eliminated in 10th.

Final Hand

Raymond Davis raised and short stacked Eric Tomberlin made it $24,000 from the big blind.  Davis called and the flop brought the J 9 6.  Tomberlin bet and Davis called. The turn brought the 4 and Tomberlin bet the last of his chips.  Davis called and said, "What do I have to beat?"  Tomberlin replied,"Ace high."  Davis quickly revealed his 10 9 and Tomberlin was in trouble with A 10.  The 8 on the river improved neither player and Tomberlin finished in 9th place ($8,171).

The final table is set, and with a great lineup including Chip Jett, Michael Craig and Raymond Davis, its sure to be one to watch.  Make sure to check in tomorrow for updates here at Cardplayer.com.

Stud Hi/Hold'em Update

Jul 02, '07

The remaining 16 players have just finished up with Levels 29 and 30 (Stud Hi & Hold’em), and are about to enter Level 31 (Omaha eight-or-better). The average chip stack right now $91,250 and with the blinds increasing to $6,000-$12,000, we’re bound to see a plethora of eliminations in the next few rounds to come.

It’s a rolled-up rollercoaster in Level 29 (Stud Hi) for Susie Genard. Genard starts one hand off with rolled up nines against Eric Tomberlin’s 7 on 3^rd street. Tomblerin goes on to catch two running sevens on both fourth and fifth street  to make trip sevens, but failing to further improve gives Genard the win with trip nines. The very next hand and Genard looks down at rolled up jacks against John Myung’s 8 in the door. Myung starts the hand off with a split pair of eights and catches another 8 on fourth street and the case eight on fifth street to make quads and trump Genard’s trip jacks turned full house.

Pat Poels nearly doubled up in hold’em when a mis-raise worked out in his advantage. The player in seat no. 3 comes in for a raise and Pat Poels calls from the big blind. The flop comes K 9 7 and Poels checks to seat no. 3 who bets out. Poels raises and seat no. 3 calls. The turn brings the 10 and Poels leads out this time getting a call from his opponent in seat no. 3. The river brings the 5 and once again Poels bets and seat no. 3 makes the call. Poels turns over Q J for the nut straight and the player in seat no. 3 mucks his hand in awe. Seat no. 3 makes it apparent that he was not impressed with Poels’ gutshot raise on the flop and Poels defends himself by explaining that he mis-raised by mistake which was evident by his bet on the turn which was for twice the actual limit. All Poels can do at this point is to offer his opponent his condolences by saying, “Sorry…but not really.”      

John Myung was just recently eliminated by Michael Craig when Myung got the rest of his chips in the pot with Q-J against Craig’s A-Q. The board failed to improve Myung’s dominated queen and he hit the rail in 18^th place earning himself $5,514.

We’ve had plenty of eliminations in the last hour or so and here’s our most recent list…

17^th Place Daniel Lown ($5,514)

18^th John Myung ($5,514)

19^th Michael Klarman ($5,514)

Hour Four Update

Jun 23, '07

Many of the notable names have fallen the last hour.

 

Devin Porter could not survive on the short stack and bowed out in 23^rd place.  William Thorsson was eliminated a few places after in 22^nd place.  They both earned $7,641 for their finishes.

 

Daniel Alaei went all in with tens and fives, but he bowed out when his nine-kicker was trumped by his opponent’s King.  His 19^th place finish netted also netted him $7,641.

 

Yuval Bronstein is the chip leader, and is running very hot.  Bronstein moved all in on a board of K7 3, and was called by Eric Tomberlin.  Tomberlin showed K Q and Bronstein showed the A 9, the turn was the 6, no help, but the river was the A, and Tomberlin was eliminated in 17^th place earning $8,721.

 

On the very next hand, Praz Banzi limped from the cutoff, Bronstein limped from the button, and the small blind called, and big blind checked.  The flop came Q 10 2, both blinds checked to Banzi, who bet $20,000.  Bronstein raised to $60,000, Banzi thought for a moment and moved all in.  Bronstein called after a matter of seconds and showed Q 6, Banzi was elated, and tabled Q J.  His elation turned to disgust when the 6 peeled off on the turn.  Banzi failed to catch up with the 9 on the river, and he was eliminated in 16^th place earning $8,721.

 

There are currently 14 players left.
