Message: [QUOTE="DESSERTLADY, post: 418395, member: 1240"] [b][PLAIN][Event 29] $2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em (Day 1)[/PLAIN][/b] Hi, everyone. I'm sorry you had to wait all day for this update. In the circumstance from this morning a page or so was lost somehow. I am going to finish this update from what I had saved on my computer. [B][Event 29] $2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em (Day 1) [/B] [B]Recap from overnight:[/B] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 20:38:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Cloutier Wishes Everyone a "Nice Dinner"[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]T.J. Cloutier's table was broken with just five minutes before the event's dinner break. Cloutier asked the floor manager why they would break a table now instead of waiting until after the break. The table was broken anyway and Cloutier put his chips down at his new table, told his table to "Have a nice dinner," and left with four minutes remaining before the break.

[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:13:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Tim Phan Toubles Through Tieman[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After some raising and re-raising, Tim Phan pushes all-in preflop for his remaining $3,300 and is called by Josh Tieman in the small blind. Tieman flips up Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phan slowly turns over 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], obviously disappointed by his chances for survival. The flop comes K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Phan spikes a 10 to complete his set. Now Tieman is trailing as the turn and river come 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], offering no help and doubling up Phan. Phan now sits with $7,000, while Tieman is down to $17,000.

Chris Viox is all in and called by Jean-Robert Bellande. Bellande turns over A-Q for top two pair but is frustrated to see Viox has turned over pocket 7's. The hand crippled Bellande who now has $3,000 in chips. Viox is now up to $18,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 22:45:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chip Leader Schneller Makes Nice Call Vs. Rousso[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a board showing K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], with $6,500 in the pot, Vanessa Rousso vets $3,500. After some thought, her opponent, Ariel Schneller, makes the call. Schneller shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for a pair of sevens, while Rousso only has A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for a missed flush draw. Rousso says, "Nice call" as her chip count drops to $8,500. Schneller's already massive stack grows to $47,500 after the hand.

Juanda is eliminated in the hand and Phan now sits with $12,800 in his stack. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:00:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Level 8 Begins[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players have entered level 8, where blinds are at $300-$600. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:03:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Bellande Runs Into Trouble[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Jean-Robert Bellande's A-Q, after a rainbow flop of A-Q-3, ran into a turned set of 7's. Bellande explains this story while referring to himself as "The Cooler." "I'm the cooler today. I lost $20,000 on that pot. Currently Bellande has $3,300. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:10:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Gale Pushes Jacob Around[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], with around $3,500 in the pot, John Gale checks and Alex Jacob bets out $2,500. Gale raises $6,000 more, causing Jacob to fold. Gale now sits with $25,500, while Jacob is down to $19,900. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]John Turner Eliminates Opponent, Pulls into Chiplead[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of J [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], with $5,000 already in the pot, John Turner makes it $2,500 to go. His opponent raises to $7,500 total and Turner calls. The turn brings the K[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Turner's opponent pushes all-in for his remaining $13,800. Turner stands up and thinks aloud, not sure whether he should call. He finally calls, not fully convinced it was the right move, and his opponent shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for Ace-high with a gut-shot straight draw. Turner is relieved as he shows pocket 5's for a flopped set. The river brings the meaningless 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Turner eliminates his opponent. Turner is now in the chip lead for the tournament with $52,500 in his stack. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Wed Jul 19 23:32:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Poker Camaraderie At Its Finest[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Layne Flack and Freddy Deeb both call a player's pre-flop all-in. Layne and Freddy both have only about $2,500 each behind themselves. With a flop of 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], Freddy Deeb pushes all-in. Layne Flack folds and shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Freddy ensues to expose his Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Layne is not happy about Freddy's all-in push, but does not say anything. The player who went all-in pre-flop shows J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The river is the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][SIZE=3], which makes Layne blatanly upset at his missed opportunity to eliminate an opponent. He gives Freddy a look and stands up from the table and begins to explain his story to an on looking Tex Barch. In mere explanation of his decision, Deeb slips up and uses a word that causes him to recieve a 10-minute penalty. With Jean-Robert Bellande and Kathy Liebert at the table as well, the players seem to disagree with the decision to give him a penalty, under the circumstances, especially when he is so short-stacked. Flack leads the resistance, and after a raise by Bellande, he plays as though he is making his decision on how to act, yet is merely delaying as opposition to Freddy's penalty. The floor men quickly catch on and the situation is resolved, yet not with out some true friendship and camaraderie being exposed by these world-class competitors. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
