He tells his opponent "It's only $50 more but you can still fold." His opponent makes the call and shows 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Jett shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes down A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Jett has been eliminated. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:18:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]River Hurting Phan[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The river has not been nice to Young Phan, of late. After flopping top-two, with a flush draw, the river helps an opponent hit an inside straight. Then, Phan's 6-6 can not hold up against an opponents 4-4 when a third 4 hits on the river. Phan is currently down to $4,000. [/SIZE] [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT] [SIZE=2][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:20:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Harman's Stack Crippled[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]From the button, Jennifer Harman raises the pot, which is $1,600 and is called by one player. The flop comes A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], her opponent checks, and Jennifer pushes all-in. The player calls and shows 4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3], which dominates Harman's A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river bring no help and Jennifer's stack is down to $1,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:38:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Pizzolatto Out[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Despite building a large stack earlier, Nath Pizzolatto has been eliminated [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:43:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The Devil Fish Doubles Up With 6-6-6[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After a flop of Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]David "Devil Fish" Ulliot bets the pot, which had been raised pre-flop. His opponent on the button has the clock called on him as he contemplates his decision. He then moves all in and has Devil Fish covered by $800. Devil Fish turns over pocket 6's for the set, while his opponent shows A-Q for top pair. The turn is a 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the river is a 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], doubling The Devil Fish to $20,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:41:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Rockets For Tomko[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]A player raises to $5,000 from late position, Dewey Tomko re-raises all-in for $6,800 more, and the original raiser calls. Tomko shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and his opponent shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]improving neither player, and Tomko's Aces double him up to about $28,600. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 17:56:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Blinds Increase[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The blinds have increased to $150 and $300. Players will go on dinner break after this level. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 18:02:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Judah Doubles[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mel Judah just doubled his stack to $9,000 when his pocket Tens held up against his opponents pocket Eights. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 18:28:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Rakes Huge Pot; Burt Boutin Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Three players are all-in preflop. Burt Boutin has K [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Mike Matusow has Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and the player in seat 2 has J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop is Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Matusow a set. The turn is the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], leaving seat 2 drawing dead and Boutin drawing to a two-outer. The river bricks out with a 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Matusow triples up to $20,500, eliminating Boutin and leaving seat 2 with about $600 in chips. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 18:53:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Dinner Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players are now on dinner break for an hour and a half. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 20:30:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players Back From Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The blinds are now $200 and $400. There are 127 players remaining [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 20:38:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Playing Through Ten Levels[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players will play 10 levels tonight. The top 36 players will make the money, and if there are more than 36 players still in play at the end of the 10th level, then play will continue until the bubble bursts. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 20:42:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Heimowitz Knocks Out Judah[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The player in the 8 seat raises $1,300 before the flop. He is called by Lonnie Heimowitz in late position, Mel Judah from the button, and both of the blinds. Five handed, the flop comes 9 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and it is checked to Judah, who moves all-in for his last $5,700. It is then folded around to Heimowitz, who makes a quick call. Judah shows 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Heimowitz, who has Judah covered, flips over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the rock nuts. The turn and river bring the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3], no threat to Heimowitz, and no help to Judah. Heimowitz rakes a good pot and brings his chip count to $21,000. Mel Judah is eliminated. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 20:51:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Abdallah Doubles Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a board of A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3], George Abdallah pushes all-in for his remaining $10,300. Before the push, the pot was already at a healthy $18,900. His sole opponent thinks for more than five minutes, finally having the clock called on him. Sortly after having the floor starts the clock, Abdallah's opponent calls. Abdallah shows 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and his opponent mucks. Abdallah doubles up in the pot and now sits with $39,500, while his opponent is crippled and down to $3,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Abdallah's opponent is eliminated the very next hand. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:07:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chan Moves His Opponent Off A Hand[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Johnny Chan ($16,000) raises pre-flop under the gun to$1,400 and the player in seat 8 calls from the button. The flop is Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Chan checks, seat 8 bets $2,500, and Chan calls. The turn is the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Chan checks again, seat 8 bets $4,500, and again Chan calls. The river is the 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Chan bets $8,000, and seat 8 mucks. Chan is now up to $26,300 [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:12:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sarah Bilney Busts Annie Duke[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After an early position raise and middle position call, Annie Duke reraises to $4,000, Sarah Bilney reraises to $11,000, the two other players fold, and Duke calls all-in for less. Bilney shows A-A and Duke has 10-10. An Ace on the turn shuts the door on Duke and she is eliminated. Bilney now has $24,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chan Crippled By Nguyen's Aces[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]After a flop of J [/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Johnny Chan bets $3,000, Scotty Nguyen raises $9,000 more, Chan moves all-in, and Nguyen calls for less with his last $13,000. Chan shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Nguyen shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river come 4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and 6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Chan is left with only $1,300 and Nguyen is our new chip leader with $50,000. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seif Doubles Through Luske[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mark Seif is all-in before the flop with A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Marcel Luske, who has Seif covered, calls his all-in with J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The board comes K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving Seif a pair of Kings on the flop to crack Luske's Jacks. Seif rakes a healthy pot and brings his chip count to $21,400 after this hand. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:31:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chan Eliminated Set Over Set[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Johnny Chan, Erik Cajelais, and theplayer in seat 2 see an unraised flop of 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The player in seat 2 checks from the small blind, Chan checks from the big blind, Cajelais bets $5,500, seat 2 re-raises to $8,600 to but Cajelais all-in, and Chan calls all-in for his last $900. Seat 2 shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]K[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Cajelais shows 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Chan has 5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river are the 4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Cajelais now has $19,300, seat 2 is down to $4,900 and Chan is eliminated. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:37:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Blind Increase[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players have just entered Round 8 where the blinds have increased to $300-$600.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:40:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mimi Tran Doubles Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3], Mimi Tran pushes all-in for her remaining $5,000 and is called by her opponent. Tran's opponent shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], while Tran flips up K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for the lead. The turn is not good news for Tran when it comes 4[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving her opponent a flush draw. However, Tran takes down the pot when the river is a blank, the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and she doubles up to $11,000 [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 21:51:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"What Do I Care About $4,200?"[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]On a flop of A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], it is checked to Scotty Nguyen who asks, "How much is in the pot? $4,200? All right, baby, I bet that. $4,200...I have $80,000, what do I care about $4,200?" Action folds to a short-stacked player, Chris O'Rourke, who re-raises all-in for $6,600 total. Nguyen immediately calls and shows K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and O'Rourke is relieved as he shows A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]for top pair. Nguyen will need a heart or running cards to beat O'Rourke. The turn puts the A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]on the board, furthering O'Rourke's lead and the river is a blank with the 8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], doubling up O'Rourke. O'Rourke now sits with $14,000, while Nguyen's stack is down to a still respectable $62,200 (Meaning he had closer to $70,000 when he made the $4,200 bet, rather than $80,000. But hey, what does Scotty care about $10,000?) [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:00:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Flop Keeps Things Interesting[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Marcel Luske raises to $1,500 preflop from the cutoff. The player in the small blind re-raises all-in for his last $100, and Luske makes the call. The small blind shows J [/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and Luske has 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]6[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop hits both hands hard as it comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3], giving the small blind two pair, but giving Luske an open-ended straight flush draw. The turn is the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]giving Luske two more outs. The river is the 3[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and the player in the small blind survives [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:11:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Quadruples Up[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Matusow is all-in from the small blind ($200). He goes to the flop four-handed, which comes 10 [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]3[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. An opponent from early position bets at the side pot and the remaining two players fold. Matusow shows 10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for top pair, and his opponent flips over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river bring the 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3], and Matusow's 10's hold up. Matusow quadruples his all-in small blind of $200 to $800. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:19:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Matusow Eliminated[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mike Matusow was eliminated when his J [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]was outrun by his opponent's K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]with a board of K[/SIZE][SIZE=3]10[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:29:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Seidel Eliminates Opponent[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]An opponent from the small blind raises the pot all-in for $3,700 before the flop. Erik Seidel makes the call from the button, and the flop comes Q [/SIZE][SIZE=3]7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]5[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. Seidel shows Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]8[/SIZE][SIZE=3], for top pair, and his opponent flips over A[/SIZE][SIZE=3]9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The turn and river bring the 7[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the J[/SIZE][SIZE=3], no help to the small blind. After this hand, Seidel eliminates his opponent and brings his chip count to roughly $24,000.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:33:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Players On Break[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players are now on a 15-minute break. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 22:49:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Play Resumes[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]The players have returned from their break, the blinds are now $400 and $800. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 23:09:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chau Giang Bullying Table[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Chau Giang has been pushing around his table in the last two hands by making pot-sized bets on the flop to drive out any players who had stuck around preflop. He's been doing this despite having an only slightly above-average stack at $30,000 (average is around $24,000, while the chip leader, Tommy Smith, is currently sitting with $65,000). [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 23:28:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Vaswani and O'Donnell Take Chunk Out of Antonius[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Through a series of raises and re-raises, both Ram Vaswani and Kevin O'Donnell are all in preflop with Patrik Antonius also in the hand having them both covered. O'Donnell, with the fewest chips at $12,000, flips up A [/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and is in big trouble when Antonius shows A-K and Vaswani ($22,600) turns over Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]Q[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. The flop comes J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]J[/SIZE][SIZE=3]4[/SIZE][SIZE=3], a miracle for O'Donnell, giving him the lead over both players. The turn and river are meaningless when they bring the 2[/SIZE][SIZE=3]and the 9[/SIZE][SIZE=3]to triple up O'Donnell to $36,000 with trip Jacks. Vaswani takes $10,600 from Antonius in the side-pot with his Queens and now sits with $21,200. Antonius' stack is down to a still respectable $33,400 after the hand, but a huge chunk was taken from him by both Vaswani and O'Donnell. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 23:44:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"The Energizer" Roots Against Himself[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Mark "The Energizer" Teltscher was all-in preflop just before the last break with 6's versus his opponent's A-K. Counter-intuitively, Teltscher was yelling for an Ace or King as the flop, turn and river were dealt. He had no success, however, as his 6's held up and he raked in the pot to double up to around $20,000. Another player at the table said that he was rooting against himself because he had a side-bet with Juha Helppi regarding players busting before the break and would stand to make more money by losing his race in that hand. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Teltscher apparently has a lot of trouble going bust, as he now sits with $50,500, putting him among the chip leaders.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sat Jul 22 23:49:00 PDT 2006[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Blinds Increase[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Level 10 has now begun. The blinds are now $600 and $1,200. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
