Attention, Conor Cooney fans! (And we know there have been a few of you in the comments section). He’s just doubled up to over 100,000. He moved all of his chips into the middle after a 12,000 chip raise from early position, for a total of 51,200. Conor flipped over pocket nines, and his opponent tabled A-Q. A flop of 7c-9c-4s gave Conor top set, which lessened the tension somewhat, and all that remained was the formality of an irrelevant turn and river, before Conor was allowed to stack his shiny new chips.
And I’m also sorry to report that Francisco Torres El Tren has busted out of the tournament, after he pushed his short stack in blind on the button, only to be called the big blind, who turned over KQ. Unfortunately, Francisco was dominated with K4, and didn’t receive any help on the board.

Hey Tricky. Unless players get knocked out a lot faster than anticipated, we’ll be in action until around 2am.

Well, any time you want his chip count, just leave me a comment and I’ll try and get it. I know what he looks like now, so I’ll have no trouble finding him!
