Gordon Eng (Out in 8th)
Kat Khaterzai and Gordon Eng are all in, with Gordon shorter on chips.
Kat: {10d}{7d}
Gordon: {9s}{9d}
10-7 being Daniel Negreanu’s favorite hand, it’s only natural that it takes the lead on a {Ac}{3s}{10d}{Ah}{2c} board. Gordon is out in 8th place, and will undoubtedly be back for next week’s Saturday Series.

Allan: {As}{Jh}
Board: {7s}{5c}{Ah}{Jc}{8h}
Don’s outs didn’t quite pan out, and he is out in ninth place.

Event 13 – $100,000 GTD ’Saturday Series’
Level 25: Blinds 20,000/40,000/4,000 ante
Total Entries: 662
Players Remaining: 22
Average Stack: 752,000
Allan Vrooman continues to bust players left and right. In this case, it was a player who went all in for his last 127,000. Allan and another player were forced to call, even though Allan appeared to want to raise, because the all in was too small to raise. The flop was {5s}{4s}{Ac} and it was checked to Alan who put in 100,000. The other player called. They checked the turn and river of {Qc}{Kd}.
Alan: {Ah}{10d}
All-in player: {Ks}{10s}
Side pot player: {As}{8s}
The ten in Alan’s hand played, and he got the entire pot, busting a player in 23rd and moving him up to about 1,000,000 in chips.
