Berlin is our new chip leader with close to 1 million.
It was an ugly way to end a tournament, but Jonathan Dimmig handled it extremely well. Dimmig got his 300,000-plus chip stack all in preflop with against the of Lou Procopio, but the board gave an animated Procopio a set of kings for a massive pot. Dimmig shugged his shoulders, shook the hand of Steve Przybyl, and made his way out of the tournament area.
"That's how you do it," Nachman Berlin said to Procopio, who is the first player to cross the seven-figure mark.
The action has certainly slowed at Table 1 here in the final 11. Most hands have been of the raise and take it variety, and while the shorter stacks have shown a willingness to shove, the bigger one's seem less than willing, or able, to call.
The first meaningful flop we've seen in the past half of a level came just moments ago after Husni Aga made it 35k pre-flop and Nicholas P. Goetz called from the small blind.
Goetz checked dark, but shoved for 175,000 more after Aga fired 40k at the flop.
Aga tanked for a good four minutes, but eventually laid it down.
Earlier today, we lost last year's DeepStacks Poker Open champion, Randy Pfeifer. The runner up of that event, Steve Przybyl, is still hanging around with two tables left. In the most recent hand over at Table 2, Michael Wachowski raised to 34,000 from under-the-gun and Steve Przybyl shoved for 155,000 from the small blind. Wachowski made the call, but his was trailing Przybyl's . The flop gave Wachowski a flush draw, but he bricked on the turn and river, sending some valuable chips over to Przybyl.
Nachman Berlin's wall of chips just came crumbling down. Bachman was the overall chip leader just an hour ago, but his massive stack has been dispersed to the remaining players at Table 2. Most of the chips went to William Vogel after Berlin five-bet shoved preflop for around 420,000 with and Vogel called with . The board gave no help to Berlin, and the player known as "The Landlord" is no longer with us.
