Big Hands:
Mark Teltscher Runs Into Aces
A short stacked Mark Teltscher was looking to double up but ran into the pocket aces of David Benyamine. Teltscher's flight back to London will have to wait, seeing as McCarran Airport has cancelled most of tonite's flight due to the amount of snow in the area.
Steve Landfish Makes a Nice Call
Sitting with just top pair, Steven Landfish called all in holding just top pair of aces on a scary board of A
Q4
J4
. Luke Staudenmaier could only showdown a pair of fives and Lanfish took the pot, giving him a stack of 1.5 million. Staudenmaier dropped down to 265,000.
Dan O'Brien Eliminated
Dan O'Brien was all in with AJ
against Steve Sung's dominated A10. The board ran out 97295 to give Sung a runner-runner flush and eliminate O'Brien.
Mike Matusow Doubles Up
Mike Matusow moved all in from the button with AJ only to run into Mohlsin Charania's AQ. The flop gave Matusow the jack he needed and he doubled up to 500,000 in chips.
Luke Staudenmaier, David Oppenheim Bust
Tom Pniak was all in and barely covered by David Oppenheim. Luke Staudenmaier was also all in and short. Staudenmaier showed AJ, Oppenheim showed QQ and Pniak showed KK. The board filled out KQ598 and Pniak's top set was enough to bust Staudenmaier and leave Oppenheim crippled with just 14,000. Oppenheim was eliminated on the next hand by Hunter Frey. Pniak now has over 800,000.
