Intel From Roothlus

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Adam "Roothlus" Levy just came over to our desk to grab his phone (which we are so graciously charging). For the service, he gave us a hot tip.

Levy tells us he's up to about 67,000, and he had details about David Baker's elimination for us. Levy was the preflop three-bettor, and "Bakes" cold four-bet with pocket tens. Levy had the two aces, and a board full of blanks is the reason things are the way they are right now.

Shorr On Winning End of Set Over Set

Vitor Coelho opened to 1,500 in middle position and Shannon Shorr called from the next seat over.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Coelho bet 1,800. Shorr put in a small raise to 4,000, leading Coehlho to shove for about 15,000. Shorr called immediately with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, miles ahead of Coelho's {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The {4-Hearts} turn gave Coelho outs to a flush, but the {2-Diamonds} river was not one of them.

Cheeps

Two noteworthy things on this list. First, Harry Cullen is in the lead over Brandon Adams now. And Allie Prescott has worked his stack of 2,000 back up to 13,000 over the course of just a few hands.

Chad Brown, Pro

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

On a {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} flop, Chad Brown checked, and Allie Prescott fired out 2,200. Brown check-raised to 5,500, and Prescott flatted to see the {A-Clubs} on the turn. Brown kept the heat on with another bet of 10,000, and Prescott once again came along with the call.

That led them to the {Q-Diamonds} river, and Brown moved all in for 29,375. It was almost a pot-sized bet, and Prescott would eventually make the call with a slightly bigger stack. Brown showed up {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}, and that was going to be hard to beat. Prescott wanted to muck, but his all-in hand was shown: {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs}.

After that exchange, Prescott is left with just 2,000 lonely chips as Brown doubles over 90,000.

A Jab to Dolan

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

When David Peters was eliminated from Table 6, they had to hold up to wait for a player. It was John Dolan who was brought over from the adjacent table, and he unracked his chips as the dealer dealt the next hand. From across the table, someone was eying up his relatively scant chip stack.

"You don't have any grays?!" said the player with a hint of a sting, referring to the high-value T5,000 chips.

Dolan answered with a flat, "No," as he stacked up the 14,000 or so chips he does have. That's plenty for now.

Failla Doubles Through Arruebarreena

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

After John Holley opened the pot with a raise to 1,300 from middle position and a call from James Arruebarreena in the hijack, Will "The Thrill" Failla shoved from the button for 14,800. Holley got out of the way, but Arruebarreena called with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. He was flipping with Failla's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, but lost when the board came down {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

Failla has about 32,000 now, while Arruebarreena slipped to roughly 43,000.
