Liebert Leaves The Building

We didn't catch the hand that did it as it happened, but 2011 bracelet winner David Singontiko was nice enough to give us the breakdown of how it happened. According to him, Liebert opened from under the gun, and Rex Clinkscales was the lone caller. The two players got it in on a {2-}{3-}{4-} flop, and while Liebert had an over pair of nines, she was drawing virtually dead against the {6-}{5-} of Clinkscales. The board brought no more help, and Liebert was sent packing.

Break It Up

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Six levels up. Six levels down. Players are once again on a 15 minute break. After that, we will play two more levels, before players take off for dinner.

Dwyte Doubles

Dwyte Pilgrim was still under his starting stack when the hand started, but he just scored a big double up to get back to almost 30,000.

We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Pilgrim was heads up, and his opponent fired out 4,300. Pilgrim responded by moving all in for 9,300 total, and it was back to his opponent, who made the call. The cards were flipped, and Pilgrim was in great shape.

Pilgrim: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Pilgrim would need to fade just two outs, and he did just that, as the {a-Spades} came on the river. After that hand, Pilgrim now has 28,000.

Tran Takes Some Chips Early

LA based poker pro Lynda Tran came into the event in the last level, but she has already gotten her tournament off on the right foot.

We caught up to the action on the flop, which read {10-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Tran called a bet of 1,400 in position, and the turn brought the {8-Spades}. Tran made another call here of 3,000, and the {q-Hearts} hit the river. Both players checked, and Tran's {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a pair of aces bested her opponents {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}.

After that hand, Tran is up to 26,000.

Baker Down Again

It's been an up and down day so far for David "ODB" Baker. The savvy pro was down early to 11,000, but he caught a double up to get back over 23,000. However, we just caught him losing another pot that has him back down below starting stack.

We came to the table just in time to see both Baker and his opponent check the turn with the board reading {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The {5-Hearts} on the river paired the board, and Baker was faced with a bet of 4,400. This was nearly a pot sized bet, but Baker wasn't deterred, as he tossed in the call.

He got the bad news when his opponent tabled {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for rivered trips, and Baker released his hand. After that one, he is down to 16,500.
