We didn't catch the action but we do know that Cole South was the recipient of a double thanks to being on the right side of a kings-versus-queens situation. Our guess is that it was an all-in preflop situation, but what we do know for sure is South had the out in front of him on a board while his opponent had tabled the .
We picked up the action after a flop and after a series of raises, Gross was all in for 7,500 with against an opponent's . The turn and river were safe for Gross to score the double up.
Action began with a raise from Steve Dannenmann. He made it 800 and received calls from 4 players including Darren Rabinowitz. The flop cam and Action checked to Dannenmann who put out a bet of 2,600. He was only called by the player in the small blind.
The next card was the and both players both slowed down with a check. On the river, the small blind player put out a bet of 36,000 and Dannenmann tanked for a bit before making the call.
"Do you have ?" Dannenmann asked. It wasn't quite seven deuce, but his opponent did show and that was good to take the pot from Dannenmann. "Good catch," he said as he mucked his hand and fell just below 60,000.
Scott Clements raised to 600 from under the gun. A middle-position player called, and the big blind called. Clements continued for 800 when the dealer spread for the flop. The middle-position player called, but the blind folded, and they saw the turn heads-up. The turn was the , and Clements checked-called a bet of 1,000. Then both players checked the river. Clements showed , and his opponent mucked. Clements took the pot, and his stack is now up to 67,000.
During another round of the tournament area, British pro Stuart Rutter told us about a hand he was involved in that could have seen lesser players lose plenty more chips than he did.
Rutter held and found himself in a three-bet pot on a flop. Normally, this would be a great position to find yourself in, but not when your opponent has in his hand! The player who had flopped a full house check-called the flop and turn before leading on the river.
Rutter still has 54,000 so is definitely not in trouble.
Action folded to John Holley who opened from middle position to 750. The player in the cutoff made it 1,700 and everyone else got out of the way. Holley four-bet to 3,750 and the player in the cutoff came along.
The flop fell and both players checked. Both players checked again on the turn. When the river came, Holley led for 2,100 and his opponent called. Holley showed for a pair of kings and the pot. A few seconds later his opponent turned over .
John Holley, is a well-known and well-liked circuit grinder with two World Series of Poker cashes this summer including a third-place finish in the Senior's event.
Following a raise to 600, Daniel Negreanu came along from the button along with the two blinds as a dealer spread a flop.
The small blind led for 700 and Negreanu was the only caller as the landed on the turn and Negreanu was faced with a bet of 1,700. Negreanu took a few moments to contemplate a decision before tossing in two yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot to signify a call.
The completed the board on the river and the small blind lent back in his chair and paused for a few moments before reaching down to the bottom of his chip stack to retrieve an orange 5,000-denomination chip before casually tossing it into the pot.
"What you doing bro?" quizzed Negreanu as his masseuse continued to work on his shoulders.
"Mmmmm. Ten-jack of clubs?" Negreanu added.
As Negreanu muttered a few words to himself, he eventually made the call before the small blind tabled his for a full house.
Negreanu shook his head from left-to-right and then mucked.
"What am I doing?" Negreanu asked to himself as he slipped to 6,650 in chips.
Earlier in the day Kenny Nguyen explained to his table that he would be quitting poker if he didn't cash in this year's Main Event. "I call," one of the players at his table said in response.
But it doesn't look as if Nguyen will have to quit if he keeps doing what he's doing here today.
We caught Nguyen on the turn of board reading . The player who was in the big blind had made a bet of about 4,000 and Nguyen called, creating a pot of just about 17,000.
The two took to the river which fell the . On the river, the player in the big blind thought for about a minute before finally checking. With action on Nguyen, he threw in three orange T5,000 chips, which was enough to put his opponent all in. After about 3 minutes in the tank, the player folded allowing Nguyen to take the pot. As he was mucking though, the player showed the .
"I have to show you a pair now," Nguyen said showing the for a pair of eights.
"I had aces," the player said.
"If you had aces, you made a bad fold," Nguyen said laughing.
