Jonathan Moseley Eliminated in 8th Place ($29,981)

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Moseley - 8th Place
Jonathan Moseley - 8th Place

Down to his last 595,000, Jonathan Moseley open-raised all in from the cutoff seat, and when it folded to Raymond Weaver in the small blind he set out the calling chips. Hugh Henderson folded from the big blind, and the remaining players tabled their cards.

Weaver: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Moseley: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{A-Spades} to pair Weaver's ace, and after the {3-Spades} turn card the {J-Hearts} on the river was no matter. Moseley is out while chip leader Weaver is now up over 6 million as Level 29 nears its close.

All About the Ring...or the Bracelet

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

"Hey Raymond," Kory Kilpatrick piped up. "What are you going to do with the money when you win?"

"Put it in the bank," Weaver, 69, grunted.

"You're not going to buy anything nice?" Hugh Henderson asked. "A watch?"

"No," Weaver responded. "I just want the ring...or the bracelet. Whatever they have here."

"We'll split the money," Henderson shot back, motioning over to Kilpatrick. "You can have the ring."

Weaver didn't respond for a good 10 seconds, then finally, he broke his silence.

"Is that a proposal?"

Moseley Slipping

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

James Kinney opened from 80,000 from the button and Jonathan Moseley called from the big blind. The flop came {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Moseley led for 105,000. Kinney called. The turn brought the {10-Spades} and another bet of 125,000 from Moseley, again called by Kinney.

The river went check-check following the appearance of the {9-Clubs}, and with a little exasperation Moseley said "ace-high." Kinney showed {K-Spades}{3-Spades} for kings, and with a head shake Moseley tossed his hand face downward to the dealer.

Moseley has been sliding of late, and now finds himself under a million and in eighth position out of eight.

Weinman Finds a Double

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Daniel Weinman doubles
Daniel Weinman doubles

George Zinaty, Daniel Weinman, Raymond Weaver, and Hugh Henderson saw a flop of {9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. The action checked to Weinman, who fired 135,000, and only Henderson called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs}, Weinman tossed out another 225,000, and Henderson again called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board, and after tanked for 20 seconds or so, Weinman announced that he was all in.

"I guess I have to call," Henderson said, pushing chips forward to call the bet of 495,000.

Weinman ripped over {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for two pair, and Henderson was forced to show {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for just a pair of aces. Weinman more than doubled to 2.1 million chips, while Henderson dropped to 1.85 million.

"I blame Raymond [Weaver] for that one," Henderson said with a smile, alluding to a previous hand where he was forced to fold top two.

Weaver Crosses Five Million

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Dan Weinman raised to 80,000 in the cutoff, Raymond Weaver called on the button, and Hugh Henderson called out of the small blind. The dealer fanned {3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Spades}, Henderson and Weinman checked, and Weaver bet 100,000. Henderson quickly check-raised to 225,000, Weinman folded, and Weaver called.

The turn was the {5-Spades}, and Henderson led out for 275,000.

"All in," Weaver announced, making it 2.675 million total.

Henderson sighed, cracked a feeble smile, then folded {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} face up. Weaver wrapped the table, then showed {6-Spades}{4-Spades} for a turned flush.

Everybody Loves Raymond

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We've heard players say "everybody loves Raymond" more than once over the last couple of days, alluding to the popular TV show while referring to 69-year-old Raymond Weaver, usually after he's won another pot. We just watched Weaver pick up a couple more decent-sized pots to add further to his stack.

In the first, Weaver raised to 80,000 from early position and Jonathan Moseley called from the big blind. Both checked the {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{A-Spades} flop. Then after Moseley checked the {A-Diamonds} turn, Weaver bet 100,000 and Moseley called.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and this time Moseley fired 225,000. Weaver took his time, then raised to 500,000, and after a long think Moseley folded. Weaver showed his hand — {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} — and scooped the chips.

On the next hand Weaver was raising again to 100,000 from UTG and Hugh Henderson called. The flop came {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Weaver bet 150,000, and once more Henderson called. The turn then brought the {3-Clubs} and a bet of 200,000 from Weaver. Henderson raised to 550,000, and Weaver quickly said he was all in.

"You got it man," Henderson exhaled. "I can't call you." As he pitched his cards to the dealer, Weaver showed his hand again — {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

After that sequence, Weaver has moved into first position, and while the others keep saying "everybody loves Raymond," we're not sure they really mean it just now.

Bobbing and Weaving

Raymond Weaver
Raymond Weaver

Hugh Henderson, Jonathan Moseley, and Raymond Weaver were heads up on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Henderson checked, Moseley fired 100,000, and both Weaver and Henderson called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, Henderson and Moseley checked, and Weaver tossed out 200,000. Only Moseley called.

The {2-Hearts} completed the board, and both players checked. Moseley showed {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for a pair of queens, but Weaver had that beat with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a better kicker.

"I had a deuce," Henderson lamented.

This put Weaver in the chip lead with over 4.1 million.

A few hands later, Weaver raised to 80,000 in the hijack seat, and both Kory Kilpatrick (button) and James Kinney (big blind) made the call. The flop fell {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Kinney checked, and Weaver bet 105,000. Only Kilpatrick called.

The turn was a second ace - the {a-Diamonds} - and Weaver led out for 175,000. Kilpatrick again called.

The {q-Spades} completed the board, and Weaver fired a third and final bullet worth 250,000.

"All in," Kilpatrick announced, making it 860,000 total.

Weaver tanked for the better part of a minute, then threw his cards into the muck.

"That was a good bet," Weaver told Kilpatrick. "Good bet."

Weinman at Work

Level 29 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

With eight players left, Daniel Weinman's found himself in eighth position out of eight as Level 29 began. He's doing what he can, though, to change that situation.

Just now James Kinney opened with a minimum-raise to 80,000 from middle position, then Jonathan Moseley called from the cutoff. Next to act on the button, Weinman pushed all in, and Kinney quickly folded. Moseley took more time to decide what to do, but eventually he folded as well.
