Event 52 - Final Table - Pine Ridge!
1 year ago
Not surprisingly, nobody has busted out yet. It will still be another couple of levels before real progress is made. In the meantime here are a few key hands.
Graham Rivered
Matt Graham was under the gun and brought it in with a raise. It was folded to John Kranyak in late position who made the call. The flop came down Q
Q
7
and Graham led out. Kranyak made the call and the turn was the 7. Both players checked. The river brought the T
and two more checks. Kranyak showed just the T and Graham turned over pocket eights.
“Show both your cards,” said a frustrated Graham. Kranyak turned over the A to go with his ten as he raked the pot.
Aces are Good Too
Jean-Robert Bellande just picked up pocket aces and, somehow, managed to make them hold up. It started with Brandon Wong opening and Bellande raising. The flop came down T 9 5 and Wong checked it.
Bellande fired at the pot and got a call. Wong proceeded to check-call every street as the board finished out J 6. Bellande tabled A A and raked in a nice one.
Andrew Procktered
A few railbirds were giving Andrew Prock a hard time about folding his big blind too often. The next time it was up to Prock to post they started stomping their feet and began chanting,"Defense!!! defense!!!"
Prock smiled and when Kranyak raised from early position Prock obliged his fans by defending his blind. The flop came out K 4 7 and Prock check-raised. The turn was the 8 and Prock bet out again. The river was the J causing disgusted look to wash over Prock's face and he checked.
Kranyak bet and Prock made the crying call. Kranyak showed the T and the dealer told him to expose his other card.
"I wanted to get away with showing just one!" laughed Kranyak as he sheepishly showed the A that was hiding behind the ten.

Event 53 - Final Table - Battle of Matewan
1 year ago
The players took their first break of possibly many. Mike Kachan is scraping the bottom of the barrel working himself up to $124,000 from a scant $70,000. Joe De Niro made a good recovery and can take a deep breath after working his stack from second-last place to the top of the leader board.
Raging Bull
Joe De Niro got off to a bit of a rocky start but was able to recover after taking a big pot off of John Kranyak and then wasting no time to get back into the action against Matt Graham.
Graham raised and both Mike Kachan and Joe De Niro called. The flop was Q T 8 and De Niro elected to take the lead and bet. Just Graham called and the turn fell Q. De Niro bet again and one more time on the A river. De Niro tabled Q-9 and HHWG.
Kings Are Good
Matt “Mattg1983” Graham just picked up a nice pot, relieving former Bellagio Cup winner Danny Wong of some chips in the process. It started with Graham opening the pot and Wong making the call.
The flop came down Q J 4 and Wong checked. Graham bet and Wong called.
Wong check-called the next two streets, leaving the final board reading Q J 4 7 5. Graham tabled K K which was enough to send Wong’s cards to the muck.
