Re: Official 5 Diamond Championship Thread
 

Timex,
I can't believe that after 100,000 jokes on the subject I still got a chuckle out of your post. NH.
--------------------------------------------
I wonder what the details of this hand were... I assume Sung raised and David pushed or vice versa but the 2p2 godfather has been eliminated

David Sklansky moved all in for less than 100k and Steve Sung called. The players showed:

Steve Sung 8c8h
David Sklansky AsKc

The board came 9c7c3d5h9d and there was no help for Sklanksy who was eliminated in 56th place with $25,370.

Re: Official 5 Diamond Championship Thread
 

This hand is pretty sparse with details, but it looks pretty bad:

Mack Lee takes out Mike Matusow
No Limit Hold 'em Main Event
Dec 17, 2006 / 22:14:53 EDT
Mike Matusow raised preflop with two callers. Mack Lee moved all in from the big blind. Matusow called and the other players folded.

Mack Lee AA
Mike Matusow 1010

Lee flopped top set and rivered a full house on a board reading A62Q2. Matusow was eliminated in 48th place.


[/ QUOTE ]

Edit: Perhaps Matusow got crippled on an earlier hand and he was short stacked is the only thing I can figure.

Re: Official 5 Diamond Championship Thread
 

Lee only had 100k and the mouth had 540k the last time there were chipcounts so it does look like they were probably around 350k when this hand happened.

In a nutshell the hand does not look horrible though.

Blinds are 4,000/8,000/1,000.

Assume that mike made it 25k to go and was called by 2 players then there was 100k in the pot when it got to Lee.

With a 250k stack it makes perfect sense for Lee to be squeezing here with a huge range. Even if we give him the tight range of 99+, AQo+ Mike is only a 45/55 dog.

When it got to Mike he would have to call 325k in a 435k pot and he is priced in to call.

If Mike actually had a shorter stack then his call only gets easier and if we can expand Lee's range to 66+,AQ+ then Mike is actually a favorite



---------------------------------------

If the bloggers got this hand correct though then it is really gross:

Chip Reese moved all in preflop in early position for 73k. Ray Faltinsky called.

Chip Reese JsJd
Ray Faltinksky 6c5c

The board fell 9s3s2sAh6s giving Reese a flush and doubling him up.

The only logical assumption on this one is that Faltinsky made it 30k preflop and felt pot committed to Chip's push. If he called an open push from Reese like the post suggests than thats just nasty

Bonomo is chipleader with 34 people left. Sick.

Wow, chip leader is easy when people just give you their chips (and your hand holds up)

On a flop of KsQd5s Haralabos Voulgaris checked and Zee Justin Bonomo bet 70k. Voulgaris raised to 140k and Bonomo pushed in for an additional 242k. Voulgaris called and the players showed:

Zee Justin Bonomo Kc10c
Haralabos Voulgaris QcJc

The turn and river came 7h4c and Bonomo took the pot with top pair to double his stack to about 980k.

Re: Official 5 Diamond Championship Thread
 

Pesonally I'd like to see a TV FT of:

Zee Justin
Hachem
Voulgaris
Cliff "Johnny Bax" Josephy
Reese
Grinder

Even though the last 2 are a bit remote I believe that can be your most watchable FT if all the stars are in place.
