His Name is Jason Bundy, No More Karate for Tuchman

David Tuchman is gone, Cornel Cimpan is gone, and who busted them?

Jason Bundy, the newest flight 1b chip leader.

We missed the hand but Bundy told us that Tuchman limped for 600, and Bundy himself also limped for 600 only to see Cimpan shove all in for 5,500. Tuchman and Bundy both flatted and saw a {Q-} high flop.

Bundy told us that Tuchman check called all in for nearly 30,000 after he shoved all in with {K-}{Q-}. Tuchman was holding {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Bundy's pair of queens was enough to eliminate both Tuchman and Cimpan.

After the hand Bundy was sitting on a stack of nearly 140,000.

Weber Moving Up

Matt Weber is moving up the chip counts. When we found him he had just over 68,000 chips. We didn't see the big hand he played, but he explained to us that he flopped a set of {Q-}s in a three-bet pot, and got his opponent to shove all in drawing dead with {A-}{K-}.

Weber already has two WSOPC Rings and is looking to add a third to his collection.

Up and Down for Tuchman

Tuchman just lost another pot at his table, but he's still got a lot of life in this tournament.

Preflop, Tuchman raised to 1,250 from the hijack. Only the big blind called.

The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and the big blind checked. Tuchman bet out 2,100, and almost instantly, the big blind raised to 6,000. Tuchman eventually called.

The turn came the {q-Spades} and the big blind wasted no time betting 20,000.

"That's a big bet," Tuchman said.

"I'll show the bluff," the player said.

Eventually Tuchman folded his hand, leaving himself with 45,000 and the big blind showed {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair and a flush draw.

Madsen's Mad

We didn't catch the preflop action but when we got to the table Jeff Madsen was all in for 12,200 chips and holding {A-Spades}{7-Spades}. He was crushed by his opponent's {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and it didn't get any better when the flop fell {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Madsen was so frustrated that he threw his cards into the air and stood up from the table to walk away.

The turn and river were the meaningless {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Madsen made his exit.

Baldwin Making Moves

When we got to the table the board read {9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and one player had bet 5,000 into Eric Baldwin who was on the button.

Baldwin made the call, and the {Q-Clubs} came on the river. The player on the button checked, only to see Baldwin bet 20k. The player tanked, and eventually folded.

That hand brings Eric Baldwin to just about 50,000 in chips.
