Another one bites the dust - mpg 1000 out in 5th.

That was fast - TheV0id (AK) just knocked out Helmet Sky (QQ) from Tel Aviv by pairing his Ace.

We seem to be seeing a lot more flops.. I think this tourney is Ka$ino's to lose though with such a huge advanatge unless he makes a mistake he should take it.

Wow.. VR goes out, 2 pair against Ka$ino's flush! Down to 2.

That was a tough break for Vanessa. She played a great tourney though.

I haven't been watching much this am so I'm not sure how Ka$ino was playing but I can't believe that VR slow played that flop. Especially after that turn card!

I was thinking the same thing, I think she could have taken it with an all in on the turn. He certainly extracted it all with his check on the river after he hit the flush, nicely done.

[jamby]

Agreed. She'd been playing so conservatively too. Trying to trap with 2-pair in that situation just made no sense. Then she made that big river bet with both flush and straight possibilities out there. Didn't make much sense.

He checked after the turn card when he still needed one more spade for the flush. After the river when he'd made his flush he raised her all-in.

IMO - she should have gone AI after the flop when she had her two pair and he had zip. Trying to extract more from him with that dangerous board was her demise.
