Event 11: Matt Kelly Eliminated in Eighth Place ($1,337)

Matt Kelly - Eighth Place
Matt Kelly - Eighth Place

According to Joseph Stiers, he, Matt Kelly, and Helder Martins got most of the money in after the {5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flopped in a recent hand.

Stiers: {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Martins: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Kelly: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Somehow, Martins' aces held up when the {k-Clubs} and {k-Diamonds} came out on fourth and fifth streets. He now has 530,000 with the blinds at 3,000-6,000. Kelly was covered, so he's out, while Stiers has a handful of chips left.

Event 10: Level 17

We are now playing Level 17 here in Event 10 ($450 Deepest Stack No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry).

The blinds have ticked up to 3,000-6,000 with a 500 ante.

Play will roll on until 18 players are left with chips, or the clock strikes 2 a.m. local time, whichever comes first. Currently about 90 players sit around nine tables, so it could go either way.

Event 10: St. Patrick's Day

We heard a player throw the needle Patrick Truong's way with the board reading {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} by the turn, and turned to take a closer look.

"Deuce..." the man called, even though he wasn't involved in the hand. "Deuce!"

Truong was all in for his last 73,500 and the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} lay in front of his stack, good for a set of nines. A third man - the one who was actually playing the pot - remained conspicuously silent, but it was he who needed the deuce to be delivered if he hoped to win the pot. His {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} had been outraced by Truong's flopped set, and he was on the verge of shipping 15 big blinds across the table.

River: {k-Diamonds}

The wheel would not be reinvented today, and with no deuce dropped on the river, Truong's set held up for the double.

"Just gets here, sat on my left, and he starts calling for cards against me?," he asked with a smile. "What did I do to you?"
