LIVE Reporting: Pure Poker Tour Series #6

They are down to 6 left now in the Seniors game after Malcolm Bolger hit the rail for 7th place. I missed the action as I was watching the endgame of the Turbo, which just finished.

George Broumas was 9th tonight while Brian Wells was 8th to bring the Seniors game down to 7 remaining.

Brett Worton raised early to 27k and Malcolm Bolger called from the cutoff. They checked it through the 2♦2♣9♦10♠9♣ until it got to Bolger on the river. He fired 45k and Worton snapped it off.

Bolger swore and mucked his hand as Worton showed ace-ten.

They are in the money now after Naleen Narayan’s pocket fours lost to the aces of Ed Zurawell. Zurawell had the covering stack, and the Seniors are now in the money.

They are on the bubble now after Tony Nguyen lost his short stack to get them to 11 left. The clock is paused and they are taking two minutes off manually for every hand played until the next elimination puts them in the money.

Richard Housch raised to 17k from the cutoff and Naleen Narayan and Rob Lothian called from the blinds. The flop came K♦10♣9♣ and the blinds check-folded to a 20k bet from Housch.

They are on the bubble to the bubble with 12 players left now. Russ Sluchinski was the most recent player to head to the exit tonight.

George Broumas is leading the way with 320k now but John Donnelly and Brian Wells are also both playing more than 300k. See below for the current chips.

They are down to 13 left in the Seniors game now with Level 16 drawing to a close. I’ll get a full chip count at the break following this level but Igor Gorelik and Fran Fisher recently busted to get the game to 13.

George Broumas folded a pair of nines a few hands earlier to a big blind shove from Russ Sluchincki. Bromas covered Sluchinski but the stack would have cut into his chips pretty sharply if he called and lost. Malcolm Bolger is seated to his right, and they got into a discussion with Bolger saying the nines was a clear call while Broumas was insistent that it was too many chips.

The discussion was still underway when Broumas raised under the gun and it folded around to Bolger’s big blind. He joked “So if I go all in, you’ll fold?” Broumas laughed and said no, and Bolger flatted to the 4♠6♦A♦ flop. They checked it through the 2♠ turn and Bolger fired 20k on the K♣ river.

Broumas called and showed pocket eights, taking the hand down when Bolger mucked. Dave Pietrzyko joked that he was expecting Broumas to show pocket nines. Paul Meyer was the most recent exit to bring the game to 15, 5 off the money and four away from hand-for-hand bubble play at 11.

Ed Zurawell raised the cutoff to 10k and it folded around to Rob Lothian in the big blind. Lothian counted out a reraise to 60k and tossed it in.

“60? Why are you going to to 60 from 10?” Zurawell asked.

“Low sugar,” answered Lothian with a smile. “Just wanted to see if you had something big,” he added as he collected the pot.

Here is a look at my eyeballed stacks with 16 players remaining.
