Since our last run through of the field, we noticed that both Jamie Gold and Frank Kassela have been eliminated. On the other end, we saw that Layne Flack, Dan Heimiller, and Ted Lawson have brought in and taken their seats.
David Singontiko might not be a house hold name to the casual poker fan, but he has already made waves in the poker world in his first year of live play. This past summer, the 21 year old took down his first WSOP event, winning a $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-low Split-8 or Better event for $268,235. Just two weeks ago, he final tabled the WSOPC Main Event at the Bicycle Casino, where he took 4th place for $57,505.
Singontiko brought in yesterday and busted rather quickly, and he's giving it another shot today. His table started out looking like most other tables with a handful of random opponents. However, throughout the first two hours, Dutch Boyd and Steve Billirakis have both sat down at his table, making for easily the toughest table that we've seen so far today.
A player in middle position raised to 325 and was called by Scott Clements and Nadya Magnus, both of whom were to his immediate left. The players in the blinds played as well.
The flop was . Action checked to Magnus and she fired 900. The next two players folded before the preflop raiser moved all in for 3,350. Clements quickly got out of the way and after a minute or two of thought, Magnus made the call to put her opponent at risk.
Magnus:
Opponent:
Magnus might have been surprised to see that she was actually ahead. The turn changed things, however, when it landed the and filled the inside strait portion of her opponents draw. The river didn't change the result and Magnus falls to 16,000.
We posted earlier about Giorgio Medici made his return today after a wild Day 1A. We were hoping that he would provide more action today, but as we walked over to his table,we saw that his seat was empty with no chips in front of it. He has been eliminated from the tournament.
Devin Jackson was in the big blind, and was heads up with his opponent who was on the button. The board read , and Jackson's opponent had bet 1,100 into the pot which had 1,700 in it. Jackson called, and the river came the . Jackson checked again, and this time, he faced a bet of 2,075. Jackson stood up, starting to shake his head, and begrudgingly tossed in the call. His opponent showed , and Jackson shook his head, said "you got lucky!", and showed for a flopped two pair that was no good. The hit dropped him below his starting stack.
