Blinds have increased to 4k/8k with 500 antes.
A four-way confrontation took place on table nine. Alex Takounakis of Alexandria, VA (utg) limped, then Glynn Myles of Pheonix, AZ (utg+1) raised to 27k. Martha Patella (Massapequa Park, NY) was next to act and she flats the 27k. Then Yves Grenon (Ottowa, ON) moved all-in.
Table 9 Four-Way Pot
Everyone else dove for cover and it was back to Alex, who moved in for less than Yves. Glynn opted out. Martha gave it some thought, then open-mucked her pocket 9s. Alex held pocket 5s and was crushed by Yves' pocket Jacks. The board came 9 5 4 2 9 and Yves took the pot, chipping up to ~210k while Alex took the walk to the rail. Martha was congratulated on her solid lay-down.
