Brunson called and both players checked the A on the turn.
When the 9 landed on the river Brunson bet out 2400. Williamson looked confused but elected to make the call. Brunson flipped up the 4 for nines and fours, leaving his other card hidden. A surprised Williamson said, “Oh! I can beat that!” and flipped over QQ for a better two pair and the win.
Omaha 8OB
Elezra Forces Out The Mouth
Ted Forrest entered a pot along with Mike Matusow, Alexander Kostritsyn and Eli Elezra. On a flop of 1022 Matusow bet 1200 and Elezra raised him to 2400.

John Monnette bet every street heads up against Daniel Negreanu. The cards fell as follows:
Negreanu: X-2-4-k-J

Big Hands:
Vanessa Rousso and Allen Bari Chop It Up, Neither Realize It
Vanessa Rousso was all in holding A-J and up against Allen Bari’s A-K. The flop came down 10-7-5 and the turn was another 7, giving Rousso a flush draw.
The river was a 5 and Rousso reached over to shake Bari’s hand, resigned to her fate. Bari, not realizing both players held two pair with an ace kicker, accepted her hand and began to rake in the pot.
The dealer and the rest of the players at the table then informed both players that the pot was split and they both took back their bets, albeit a little red in the face.
After the hand, Bari began to joke, saying, “She shook my hand, isn’t that binding?” When another opponent asked if he had ever played poker before, Bari responded dryly, “Just once a year, here in Monte Carlo.”
Team PokerStars Pro Noah Boeken Hits the Rail
Noah Boeken was all in for his last 17,100 holding AQ against Claudio Pagano’s AJ and looking good to double up, but the board ran out AQ10K7 to end his tournament.
Not A Good Start For the Chip Leader
Thiago Nishijima entered the day with the chip lead and still has it, but he is going in the wrong direction.
Nishijima doubled up Anirudh Seth when his pair of queens failed to improve against a made straight. Nishijima is down to 215,000.
Van Zadelhoff Put In Tough Spot…Accidently
On a flop of Q103, Steven Van Zadelhoff bet 4,600 and then the action got weird. Yorane Kerignard, who is French, then verbalized the word “eighty.” Kerignard meant “eight,” but even that wasn’t enough for a proper raise. To top it all off, Kerignard only had 50,000 in his stack anyway.
The floor was called over and rule that he was required to raise all in, even though most at the table agreed his intention was to make it 8,000. Van Zadelhoff tanked for a bit and made the call with KQ, which was miles ahead of Kerignard’s K10.
Of course, the turn and river fell JA, and both player chopped the pot with a Broadway straight. A fitting end to an awkward situation.
Russell Carson Out Flops Dan O’Brien… Big Time!
Dan O’Brien was all in holding pocket aces and was in great shape to double up against Russell Carson’s pocket eights. Unfortunately, the flop brought the two case eights and O’Brien hit the rail.
Carson is now up to a whopping 120,000 in chips.
Katja Thater Doubles Up
Team PokerStars Pro Katja Thater was all in for 16,700 holding pocket sevens and was up against Sami “Larz Luzak” Kelopuro’s A7.
The board fell 10324J and Thater doubled up to about 35,000 in chips.
Ramzi Jelassi Moves Near Chip Lead
On a board reading Q6510, Ramzi Jelassi bet 24,000 and his opponent, Christoph Pereira check-raised all in for 80,000 more.
Jelassi was angry with himself for not checking behind, but reluctantly made the call anyway, tabling 65 for two pair.
Pereira showed KQ for just a pair of queens and missed when the river was the 4. Jelassi now has 215,000 in chips.
Miracle For Monfils
Tennis Pro and Team PokerStars SportStar Gael Monfils was in major trouble, but found the river to double up to just over his starting stack.
Someone opened for 2,700 and the button reraised to 7,000. Monfils then decided to shove from the small blind for 14,500. The button insta-called with pocket aces and Monfils revealed KQ.
The board fell K726Q and Monfils got lucky to hit a non-diamond queen on the river to stay alive in the tournament.
Noah Boeken was all in on the short stack against Bryce Yockey. The cards were already on their backs, but there was a dispute at the table over the small blind.
The blinds had been brought in and now Yockey was entitled to a refund. Boeken just wanted the board to come out, but the floor was called over to determine the amount. Yockey was eventually awarded 800 back and Boeken’s A-9 needed help against Yockey’s pocket jacks.
The board bricked and Boeken was eliminated, giving Yockey all of the chips anyway, but not before Boeken had to endure a five-minute elimination.

Alex Keating Doubles Up Through Doyle Brunson with Quads
Alex Keating raised from early position preflop and Doyle Brunson made the call from the small blind. The flop was dealt 842 and Brunson checked. Keating bet 15,000 and Brunson raised enought o put Keating all in. Keating made the all-in call for 84,400 and they flipped over their cards:
Keating: 1010
Brunson: 99
Turn and River: 1010
Keating makes quad tens on the hand to double up to 188,000 and Brunson takes a hit and now holds 170,000.
Brent Hanks Knocks Out Tim West and Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken raised all in under the gun preflop for 8,500 and Vivek Rajkumar min-raised 14,600. Tim West reraised all in for 56,300 and Brent Hanks (pictured left) made the call. Rajkumar mucked A-J and the three remaining players flipped over their cards:
Boeken: J10
Hanks: QQ
West: KK
Board: A962Q
Hanks hit a set on the river and he knocked out both West and Boeken in one full swoop. Hanks now holds 470,000 in chips.
Steven Landfish Increases his Lead
Steven Landfish showed down 65 on a board of 8437Q for an eight-high straight against Dutch Boyd. Landfish grew his stack to 600,000 after the pot while Boyd watched his holdings shrink to less than 100,000.
POY Watch
Three players from the POY top 10 still remain in the tournament. Cornel Cimpan can pass Eric Baldwin for the lead with a third-place finish or better. Yevgeniy Timoshenko can claim the top spot with a second-place finish or better. Soheil Shamseddin can’t catch Baldwin, even with a win but he can improve his final standing in the POY race with a cash here at Bellagio. Here is a look at their current chip counts:
Noah Boeken is now sitting on 103,000 in chips. Asked how he got them, he said, “Just lucky I guess” but then went on to explain the real reason…
On a flop of 9-10-8, one player went all in, one other player moved in also, and Boeken called. The PokerStars Team Pro player had flopped a straight with 7-6 and so mopped it all up (around 40,000). The inital all-in raiser had pocket aces. “What he did made no sense,” said Boeken.
It doesn’t have to make sense however, as whatever the reason, it has pushed Boeken up the ranks towards the upper spots.
Team PokerStars Pro Noah Boeken raised from late position and the hi-jack made it 2,100 to go preflop. Boeken made the call and the flop was dealt 932. Boeken checked and seat 3 bet 1,800. Boeken then check-raised to 6,000 and after deliberating for a bit, seat 3 reraised to 26,000. Boeken made the all-in call and the two players flipped up their cards. Boeken held AQ and seat 3 showed down Q10. The turn and river fell 58 and Boeken doubled up to 45,000.
1. Matt Affleck – 2,100,000
2. Ben Lamb – 2,000,000
3. Ludovic Lacay – 1,850,000
4. Kevin Schaffel – 1,760,000
5. Bernhard Perner – 1,675,000
6. Tom Lutz – 1,600,000

Sorel Mizzi
Big Hands:
J.C Tran Doubles
After Nasr El Nasr raised to 20,000 preflop, J.C. Tran raised all in for his last 109,000. Steven Doebler was next to act and repopped to 200,000 total. Nasr folded and the cards were turned up.
Doebler tabled AQ and was disgusted when Tran showed AK. The flop came down 544. “I’ll take another pair,” Doebler said. The turn was the 3 and there were straight possibilities. But the river was the 6 and Tran doubled up to almost 230,000. “One more time,” Tran said as he raked in the chips.
David Levi Busts
David Levi moved all in for his last 30,000 preflop with 70,000 already in the pot. He was called by the Clayton Newman. Levi turned over AQ while Newman tabled 1010.
The flop came down K104, giving Newman a set but Levi a broadway draw. The turn was the J and Levi hit his straight, but the K on the river filled up Newman and Levi was gone.
Benyamine Straight To A Million
After David Benyamine and David McLarthy both put 17,000 into the pot preflop, the flop dropped 623. Benyamine led out with 28,000 and McLarthy made the call. The turn was the 4 and both players checked.
The river was the 5, putting a straight on the board. Benyamine led out again with 125,000 and McLarthy just smiled. He threw in the call and Benyamine turned over 87 for the absolute nuts. McLarthy mucked and Benyamine took in the pot, vaulting himself over 1 million.
Shulman Busts Andy Black
We weren’t able to get close enough to the action since Jeff Shulman is at the feature table, but somehow he had eliminated Andy Black from the tournament and doubled up to 640,000 in chips.
Ludovic Lacay Busts Another
Ludovic Lacay called the all in of Shawn Pilot and showed 88 and was off to the races against Pilot’s AK.
The board ran out 4J497, keeping Lacay’s pair in the lead and eliminating Pilot from the tournament.
Sorel Mizzi Eliminated
Sorel Mizzi got all of his chips in the middle with AJ and was called by Scott Cook who had 99. The flop was good for Cook as it came 963, but the K on the turn gave Mizzi some hope.
The 10 on the river left Mizzi one card short of his flush and sent him home early on day 5.
Stokes Doubles Through Kara Scott
There was a raise to 20,000 and Jamin Stokes opted to flat-call. The action got to Kara Scott and she decided to make it 100,000 total. The original raiser got out of the way and action was back to Stokes, who thought for 30 seconds before moving all in. Scott made the call and showed AK and was behind Stokes KK.
The board ran out 388JQ and Stokes doubled up.
Crowe’s Kings Trump Taylor’s Jacks
We were unable to catch when all the money went in, but Owen Crowe doubled through Brian Taylor with pocket kings against pocket jacks on a board that read 79632.
“I didn’t want to play a big pot yet,” said Crowe. “But then I figured I had two kings, so I would.”
Noah Boeken Scores A Knockout, Over A Million
After a flop of 1084, Joseph Michael was all in and Noah Boeken made the call. Michael showed down QQ for an overpair but Boeken tabled 88 for a flopped set.
The turn was the 6 and the river was the 7 and Michael was eliminated. Boeken raked in the pot and was at 1.3 million.

Eric Froehlich Busted By Vitaly Lunkin
On a flop of 1067, Vitaly Lunkin bet 1,200 and Eric Froehlich raised to 2,400. Lunkin thought for a good amount of time and then raised to 3,600. Froehlich moved all in and Lunkin called.
Froehlich: A9
Lunkin: AQ
Lunkin had Froehlich dominated and the Q all but sealed Froehlich’s fate. He needed an eight to make a straight but the 7 on the river paired the board and Froehlich was eliminated. Lunkin was at 77,000.
Adams Drops A Pot
Brandon Adams raised to 2,400 and the player in seat 4 made the call. The flop came KKJ and Adams led out with 1,200. His opponent called and the turn was the 9. Both players checked and they did the same after the 6 fell on the river. Seat 4 showed A5 and it was good enough as Adams mucked. He was down to 70,000 in chips.
Negreanu Gets Short, Then Busts
On a flop of 957, the player in seat 2 bet 1,200 and Daniel Negreanu raised to 2,400. Seat 2 called and the 5 came on the turn. Seat 2 led out again, this time for 2,400. Negreanu immediately mucked and he was down to his last 8,000 in chips.
Later, Negreanu raised to 2,400 from middle position and was called by the player on the button. The flop came down AQ8 and Negreanu checked. His opponent bet and Negreanu called himself all in.
Negreanu: 55
Button: A4
Negreanu got outflopped and the 9 on the turn and 2 on the river offered no help to Negreanu who made his exit just before the end of day 1.
Boeken Gets Some Off Elezra
Eli Elezra raised to 2,400 preflop and Noah Boeken made it 3,600 to go. Elezra made the call and the flop came down 1064 and Elezra checked. Boeken fired 1,200 and Elezra mucked. He was down to 70,000 while Boeken was at 18,000.
Oppenheim Makes A Grand Exit
With the board reading J632, David Oppenheim called a bet of 2,400 by Ville Wahlbeck. The river brought the 8 and Wahlbeck said, “I raise” as he bet enough to put Oppenheim all in. “You raise?” Oppenheim said. Wahlbeck was having a little fun with his opponent and Oppenheim called the bet. Wahlbeck showed 86 for two pair and that’s when the fun began.
Oppenheim showed the table QQ. “Hey Mikey,” he said to Mike Matusow a table over. He showed him the queens and Matusow asked, “Did they hold up?” Oppenheim replied, “Of course not” and he threw them in the muck. As he got up, Oppenheim shouted an obscenity to Todd Brunson in jest. “That’s definitely a penalty,” Matusow said. Brunson began laughing and shot back, “Thanks buddy. How about I buy you another double shot before you drive home.” Everyone had a good laugh and Oppenheim took his leave from the tournament.

Hawrilenko bet 2,000 and Mueller called again. The K came on the river and Hawrilenko fired another 2,000 into the pot. Mueller called again and Hawrilenko showed A10 for top pair.

Ho’s Boat On The River Sinks Opponent
Mario Ho raised to 2,000 preflop and the players in seat 1 and 2 made the call. The flop came A94 and action was checked to Ho. She fired 1,000 and seat 1 raised to 2,000. Seat 2 mucked and Ho three-bet to 3,000. Seat 1 then raised himself all in and Ho made the call.
Ho: A10
Seat 1: AJ
Ho was trailing and the case A came on the turn, giving each player a set. But the 10 dropped on the river, giving Ho a full house and sending her opponent to the rail. She raked in the pot and she was at 80,000.
Matusow Struggling
Mike Matusow raised to 2,000 and the player in seat 9 three-bet to 3,000. Matusow made the call and the flop came AJ5. Seat 9 bet 1,000 and Matusow called. The turn was the 6 and seat 9 bet 2,000. Matusow had enough and mucked his hand. He was at 14,200 after dropping that pot.
Set Of Sailboats Flushed For Doyle
Josh Arieh raised to 2,000 preflop and four players called, including David Pham and Doyle Brunson. The flop came 854 and Pham led out with 1,000. Everyone called and the turn was the 4. Pham bet 2,000 and then Brunson raised to 4,000. Arieh got out of the way but Pham called as did seat 1. The river was the Q and Pham bet 4,000. Seat 1 called and Brunson quickly mucked A4 face up. Pham then showed down J8 for a flush, but seat 1 showed A5 for the nut flush. Pham was down to 12,000 while Brunson was down to 20,000.
Team PokerStars Pro Noah Beoken has been eliminated on day 2. Check out this video interview with Boeken that was sent over from our friends at Card Player Finland:
Noah Boeken moves all in preflop and gets one caller who is majorly short-stacked. He flips over KK and his opponent reveals Q9.
The board falls: AQ795 to give his opponent two pair: queens and nines. Boeken donates around 2,175 to his opponents and is left with 7,000 for himself.
A tired but laid-back looking Casey Kastle is sitting with just below the day's starting stack. When asked if he was sitting tight waiting for a double-up, he said, "I'd be happy with just 20 percent more than I have at this point." He then added with a sigh, "It's been a strange day."
