Ace High Good For Perlov

Artyem Perlov opened to 600 from the hijack and was called by the player in the small blind.

The flop fell {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and it was checked to Perlov who bet 650. A call from his opponent led to both players checking the {Q-Spades} turn. The {9-Spades} hit the river and the bet was 2,500 to Perlov.

After a few moments Perlov called and upon seeing his opponent table {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, Perlov turned over {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds} to win the pot.

Palma Making Friends

Nicholas Palma is fresh off of a final table showing at the DeepStacks Mohegan Sun National Championship last weekend and is looking for similar success this week on the WSOP circuit.

Palma is on his second bullet today and has more than doubled his stack on Day 1b thus far. He is certainly not shy, chatting up the table and getting laughs from his tablemates. All but one, apparently, according to the table.

"I'm going to take out the guy in the Lacoste hat," Palma said.

All the while, people at the table were giving Palma nicknames. The one that was was most agreed upon was "Mighty Mouth."

"He never stops talking," said one player.

As Palma was getting a good laugh from the commotion, another player added, "He never puts up his antes, either."

Raising Ramdin

Victor Ramdin of nearby New York is here, having taken his seat not too long ago. And he's already begun building upon his 20,000-chip starting stack.

Just now we caught him raising another hand from the cutoff, this time to 675, and getting two callers from the button and small blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, and when checked to Ramdin bet 750 and just the small blind stuck around. Both then checked down the {J-Clubs} turn and {2-Clubs} river, and when Ramdin's opponent turned over {6-Spades}{4-Hearts} for sixes and jacks, Ramdin mucked.

After that small hit, Ramdin still has about 32,000.

Andrews Takes a Hit

Picking up the action on an {A-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{A-Hearts} board, Cherish Andrews was faced with a decision for most of her stack. Her opponent was all in for 7,825 and after a little bit of time in the tank, Andrews called.

Her opponent turned over {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for a full house and Andrew sent her cards to muck. That knocked her down to about 1,600, but she managed to double up shortly therafter.

Bump for Brikis

A player raised to 900 from middle position, and Josh Brikis called from a couple of seats over. The flop came {2-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts}, and Brikis's opponent continued with a bet of 1,300. Brikis called. The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and another leading bet — this time for 2,700 — and Brikis called once more.

The river was the {4-Spades}, and this time both players checked. Brikis tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, and his opponent mucked.
