Roland Rolling

Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe
Roland de Wolfe raised to 5,000 from late position, a player in the big blind reraised all in to 26,400, and de Wolfe made the call with {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. His opponent showed pocket eights.

An ace flop, and no eight came to save de Wolfe's foe. De Wolfe is now up to 150,000.

Keating Knocked Out

Alex Keating raised to 5,550, got reraised to 13,5000, repopped all in, and got called.

Keating was racing with A-Q versus his opponents' pocket tens. The board ran out nine-high, and Keating is out. (That's Alex; Alan Keating is still alive.)

You're All In? I'm All in!

Just had a three-way all-in with two winners and no eliminations.

Scott Freeman raised to 6,100 from early position, Nikolay Evdakov called from late position, then Michael Schwartz reraised all in from the big blind for 21,700. Freeman responded by reshoving for a total of 65,000. Evdakov called.

Schwartz {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Freeman {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Evdakov {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board came {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{8-Spades}, giving Schwartz the main pot and Freeman the big side pot. Freeman is now up to 86,000, and Schwartz has 65,000.

Evdakov soon shipped his suddenly-depleted stack into the middle with {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} and was called by Jochen Dickinger who held pocket eights. An ace flopped, and Evdakov's hand held up, so he's back to 32,000.

They Look Like Aces, Might As Well Play 'em Like Aces

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey
We came on this one on the flop -- {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. A short-stacked player in the big blind was already all in, up against three opponents, including Phil Ivey. The first two checked, and Ivey fired out 10,000 into the dry side pot. The first player pondered, asked Ivey if he held jack-ten, then folded, as did the second player.

The cards were then revealed, and Ivey showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The big blind turned over eight-deuce. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and river {Q-Diamonds}, and Ivey took the pot. He's now up to 85,000.

100 Players Remain

"We have a winner!"

The somehow incongruous call whenever a player loses the last of his or her chips. We just heard it again over at Table #60.

Tresa Antonio, sporting an jacket with aces depicted on the front, was looking at a six-high flop and wondering whether or not to commit his stack. Finally, he decided to make his move, turning over {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Unfortunately -- and ironically -- his opponent, Gary Holm, turned over {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. No ten came to save Antonio, and he's out in 101st place. Holm started the day with just over 15,000, but now has built his stack all of the way up to 103,000.

J.J. Beats King

J.J. Liu
J.J. Liu
J.J. Liu raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Carter King reraised to 15,500 from the small blind. Liu made the call. The flop came {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. King checked, Liu bet 10,000, and King folded.

Heading toward the break, King has 115,000, while Liu is up to 102,000.
