Lee Watkinson Takes Over the Chiplead
Lee Watkinson bet 400,000 and Will Spadea raised to 800,000. Watkinson moved all in for 6.5 million and Spadea quickly called.

Watkinson:
Spadea:

The flop was . The turn was the . Watkinson was on the brink of elimination and down to six outs. The river was the and Watksinson hit one of his outs. He doubled through Spadea and took over the lead. Watkinson increased his stack to over 14 million.

EDIT: My bad here. Lee hit a king on the river for AK to beat his opponent's 99.

Lee making a seemingly donkish play there. Though not as donkish as the min re-raise.

How about the dude calling off over 5 million with 99, i don't mind Watkinson's play at all, he is playing AK strong, which is to be expected at this point in the tourney.

DUDE OMG LMAO LOL GUY WHO LOSES HAD TO HAVE PLAYED BAD RESULTS ORIENTEDAMENTS

[/ QUOTE ]

It has nothing to do with results oriented thinking, your oh-so-witty banter notwithstanding. What range do you put Watkinson on here? Don't you think he can (and is often likely to) make this play with AA and other big pairs as well as AK? Do you think 99 really performs well against his range? It isn't like the pot-odds are compelling, either.

Featured Table: Tuan Lam Takes a 3.04 Million Pot Against Raymond Rahme
David Tran has the button in seat 8, Raymond Rahme raises from the cutoff to 550,000, and Tuan Lam thinks for about two minutes before he calls from the big blind. The flop comes {4h}{3c}{2s}, Lam checks, Rahme bets 900,000, Lam raises to 3 million, and Rahme thinks for about two minutes before he folds. Tuan Lam takes the pot worth 3.04 million.

Lee Watkinson should just raise all in every hand now.

that's a fantastic strategy which would probably work.

Wasn't Lee the guy doing exactly that at the cash bubble?

Philip Hilm vs. Ray Henson

Ray Henson has the button in seat 3, Philip Hilm limps under the gun for 100,000, David Tran limps from middle position, Ray Henson raises from the button to 400,000, Hilm calls, and Tran folds. (The {9-Clubs} was accidentally exposed by one of the players who folded.)

The flop comes {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card is the {5-Spades}, and both players check. The river card is the {6-Diamonds}, Hilm bets 700,000, and Henson calls. Hilm shows {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a club flush, and Henson mucks. Philip Hilm wins the pot.

Oh.. my.. god.

Standard Hilm. God, I hope he makes it to the FT with a decent stack. He'll tilt off all his chips in epic fashion. You heard it here first.

Check Hilm in the EPT here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylhNh2b9ypk

So much for tight Scandinavians...

OK, if this is firmly established it clears things up a bit. I've never heard of Armburst before and had no reason to believe he knew who Speedman was.

P5 has been sweating both of them.

Featured Table: Tuan Lam Wins a 10.44 Million Pot

Lee Childs has the button in seat 9, he limps for 100,000, Tuan Lam limps from the small blind, and Jon Kalmar checks his option. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}, Lam bets 350,000, Kalmar calls, and Childs calls. There is now 1.44 million in the pot.

The turn card pairs the board with the {K-Spades}, Lam checks, Kalmar bets 1.5 million, Childs folds, and Lam thinks for more than a minute before he calls. There is now 4.44 million in the pot.

The river card is the {A-Spades}, and the crowd lets out a big "Oooh!" as there are now four spades on the paired board. Lam quickly checks, Kalmar bets 3 million, and Lam calls with {J-Spades}{9-Spades} for a jack-high flush -- the second nut flush. Kalmar mucks.

Tuan Lam wins a *huge* pot worth 10.44 million.
