Tehan Taking Over

Joe Tehan
Joe Tehan

Everytime we walk by Joe Tehan's table, it seems like he's collected another bounty. Tehan has a ridiculous stack, that by our best estimation is around 550,000. There isn't a single player in the room who has more then 300,000 right now, making his heater even more absurd.

To make things more interesting, Derrick Yamada, the chip leader to start the day, just moved to Tehan's left with 220,000. We smell a big pot brewing.

He Showed a Four!

We don't know how it happened, but when we got tot he table, the player on the button had a raise of 30,000 in front of him. Jason Bundy in the big blind reraised to 80,000.

After that, the player on the button moved all in, for at least 60,000 more. This bet put Bundy into the tank.

"I'm either going to be massive chip leader or broke," Bundy was saying to himself. "You have to have aces right? You have to have aces."

Bundy kept fumbling with his chips and his cards. It looked as if he was about to call, then as if he was about to fold.

"Will you show if I fold?" Bundy asked. To which the player on the button didn't respond?

Eventually Bundy talked himself into a fold. It was at this point that the player on the button decided to show the {4-Hearts}.

"That was dirty man," Bundy said after the hand. Bundy is down to 160,000 after all the action.

Jejelowo's Stack Cut In Half

AJ Jejelowo
AJ Jejelowo

We came into a three way pot on a flop that read {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. It was checked to Jejelowo, who fired out 10,000. He was raised to 23,000, and the original checker folded. It was back to Jejelowo, and after about 20 seconds of tanking, he moved all in, having his opponent covered. His opponent made the call, and it was a coin flip.

Jejelowo: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

According to the Pokernews Odds Calculator, it was about as close as you can get. Jejelowo was a 49.29% favorite to win, while his opponent had a 48.69% chance to win. Jejelowo's odds increased to 70% when the {7-Spades} hit the turn, but the {2-Clubs} hit hte river, giving both players flushes, but giving Jejelowo's opponent the higher one.

After that pot, Jejelowo is down to 60,200.

Yu Gone

Ben Yu has busted from the tournament for a second time. We didn't catch the hand, but he explained it to us afterwards.

Apparently he shoved {2-}{2-} into another players {6-}{6-} and didn't improve. Yu is now heading back to Mexico to play some online poker.

Le Leaps To The Top

Nam Le

We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. There was already a huge pile of chips, roughly 60,000 in the middle, when we arrived. We saw that Nam Le had checked to his lone opponent in the hand, Paul Hendee. Hendee fired out 30,000, and it was back to Le.

Le tanked for about 45 seconds before assembling a raise of 65,000, and sliding it into the middle. Hendee quickly moved all in, and Le took only about five seconds to call.

Le: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Hendee: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Le was in fantastic shape to secure the knockout, and virtually double his stack in the process. The river was scary, but it was the {4-Spades}, and Le took the pot to get up over 300,000.

Break It Down

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We have played two more hours, and the players are taking a 15 minute break. While they do that, the staff will be coloring off the black T100 chips.

Bundy's Coming For You

Jason Bundy
Jason Bundy

Jason Bundy just got some chips back, a lot of chips back.

Preflop, Bundy made a raise from the button, and was reraised by the small blind to 20,000. Bundy made the call and it was off to the flop which was {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{Q-Spades}.

The small blind quickly went all in for around 70,000 and Bundy called even quicker.

Small Blind: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Bundy: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The turn {2-Spades}, and the river {A-Clubs}, were no help to the player in the small blind and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Bundy meanwhile kissed his chips and looked at the player who bluffed him earlier.

"I'm coming for you now," he said.
