Message: [QUOTE="DESSERTLADY, post: 414538, member: 1240"] [b][PLAIN][Event 9] $5000 No Limit Hold'em (Day 2) Update[/PLAIN][/b] [B][Event 9] $5000 No Limit Hold'em (Day 2)[/B] [B]Update[/B] [B]Highlights from Overnight:[/B] [B]Wed Jul 05 21:27:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Hellmuth, Vinh Keep Things Interesting[/B] With Vinnie Vinh and Phil Hellmuth side-by-side at the same table, there's bound to be some action. There's one hand without action, however, that had Hellmuth steaming. "Put this in the blog," Hellmuth says, "Phil Hellmuth has lost his mind." Vinh has been the aggressor at the table and Hellmuth mucked A-J preflop(according to Phil) after Vinh had once again raised. After Vinh took down the hand on a board of Jack-high, Hellmuth vocalized his frustration. [B]Wed Jul 05 21:36:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Luske Doubles Up[/B] Marcel Luske raises all in preflop for around $42,000 and is called by Keith Tilston. Tilston reveals the A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG], and Luske shows his dominated J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]7[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]. The flop brings the J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]8[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]2[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG], pairing both players jacks but leaving Luske still far behind Tilston. The 10[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] on the turn leaves Luske looking for a 7 or a 9 for the river, which obliges Luske's request and delivers the 9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG], filling his straight and doubling him to approximately $92,000. [B]Wed Jul 05 21:48:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Wasicka Eliminated in 14th[/B] Paul Wasicka earns $26,311 for making it to 14th place. His KhQh made top pair and a flush draw on the flop, but Thomas Fuller's pocket kings remained in the lead as no heart and no queen came on the turn or river and he was eliminated. [B]Wed Jul 05 21:54:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Players Break, Will Return to Raised Blinds[/B] Players are on a fifteen minute break, but when they return for level 17, blinds will increase to $6,000-$12,000, with a $2,000 ante. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:09:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Vedes Eliminated in 13th Place[/B] Tommy Vedes has been eliminated in 13th place, when his Q[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] ran into Dan Smith's A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]Q[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]. Though he picked up a spade draw, it did not hit and he was sent to the rail. For his efforts he will receive $26,311. Dan Smith ended the hand with approximately $174,000. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:19:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Tilston Keeps on Choppin'[/B] Keith Tilston has found himself all in twice in the past few hands, only to chop the pot with his opponent. He found himself all in against Tommy Vedes a few hands ago with J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]8[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] vs. K[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]Q[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] and the board came 9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]3[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]3[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]. He was just all in against Dang Trinh with A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG] vs. A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]K[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG] and the board came 9[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]7[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]7[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]T[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]T[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]. A chop may not be as satisfying as a double up, but at least its not as disappointing as a bust. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:33:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Tilston Eliminated in 12th Place[/B] Keith Tilston receives $32,157 for finishing in 12th place after his all in preflop raise pitted his deuces against Isabelle Mercier's pocket queens. The board of J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]10[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]4[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]10[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]3[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG] did not improve Tilston, and he was busted from the tournament. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:36:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Quiet Table With Vinh and Hellmuth...I Don't Think so[/B] As you know by now, Vinnie Vinh and Phil Hellmuth are sitting next to each other. With this close proximity comes continual verbal abuse. Vinh made his voice heard after a comment Hellmuth made by saying, "Why Phil? Why you think you have the best hand all the time?". As the two players continued to talk, Marcel Luske looked over from the other table and said, "Close the door, please!". He went a little further after that and asked if there could be a curtain put up between the two tables. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:43:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Down to Ten[/B] The final ten players have been moved to one table in order to eliminate one more player in order to determine the final table players before stopping for the night. [B]Wed Jul 05 22:52:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Fuller Eliminated in 11th Place[/B] Thomas Fuller goes all in preflop after a raise from Phil Hellmuth. Eugene Todd reraised to push Hellmuth out and succeeds, going to the flop heads up with Fuller. Fuller is dominated, with his A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]6[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG] under Todd's A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]J[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]. The board brings no help, and Fuller is eliminated. For his 11th place finish, he recieves $32,157. [B]Wed Jul 05 23:14:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Blinds Increase[/B] Blinds increase to $8,000-$16,000 with an ante of $2000. [B]Wed Jul 05 23:39:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Tight Play From Final Ten[/B] Play tightens up considerably as nobody wants to bust on the final table bubble. The prize money differance between 10th and 9th is roughly twenty six thousand, and understandably none of the smaller stakes seem to interested in putting their chips in the middle. [B]Wed Jul 05 23:51:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Trinh Eliminated in 10th Place, Final Table Decided[/B] With the elimination of Dang Trinh, who called all in on the flop with an A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/club.gif[/IMG]10[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG] high against Marcel Luske's A[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/spade.gif[/IMG]2[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG], combining with the 5[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/heart.gif[/IMG]4[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG]3[IMG]http://www.cardplayer.com/images/common/suits/diamond.gif[/IMG] for a flopped wheel, the final table is decided. Trinh will receive $32,157 for his effort. Final chip counts are on the way. [B]Thu Jul 06 00:08:00 PDT 2006[/B] [B]Final Table Chip Counts and Seat Numbers[/B] Seat 1 -Quoc Al "Vinnie" Vinh - $784,000 Seat 2- Isabelle Mercier- $301,000 Seat 3-Eugene Todd- $240,000 Seat 4-Marcel Luske- $458,000 Seat 5- Jeff Cabanillas-$275,000 Seat 6-Douglas Carli- $273,000 Seat 7-Dan Smith- $117,000 Seat 8- Thomas Schreiber- $200,000 Seat 9-Phil Hellmuth Jr.- $461,000 [/QUOTE]
