Dwan Multi-tabling

Tom Dwan has been playing Event #14, the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 event during the dinner break, and he's just come running back over from Blue to Red to play a hand. When he arrived at his table, the dealer was just mucking his dead hand, and Dwan turned right around and sprinted back to Blue to play a hand of lowball.

Online isn't the only place you can multi-table come WSOP time.

Bolotin Busts One

A short-stacked player moved all in from the button for about 10,000, and Alex Bolotin made the call from the big blind with the bigger stack. The shorty turned up {K-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and he was in bad shape to stay alive against Bolotin's dominating {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

The board came {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, no help for the at-risk player, and that knockout pot moves Bolotin up to 74,000.

Brian Hansen
Ronald Lamb
Timothy "T.K." Miles
Darryl Ronconi
Joseph Urgo
Vittario Iemolo

Tidmarsh Out

Action folded to a short-stacked Charles Tidmarsh who shoved for 22,500 on the button. Gerald Lee sweated his cards in the small blind and tanked for a minute or two before calling. The big blind released and the hands were tabled:

Tidmarsh: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Lee: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Tidmarsh hit the rail.

Lee is now up to 112,000 chips.

Croft Doubles

A player in middle position opened to 7,500 and the action folded to Brandon Croft in the big blind who three-bet to 20,000. The player in middle position tanked for a bit before moving all in. Croft also went into the tank but eventually called and the hands were opened:

Croft: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The dealer flopped {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts} to put Croft in the lead. Neither the {8-Diamonds} on the turn nor the {q-Clubs} on the river improved his opponent's hand, and he doubled through to 112,200 chips.

Action!

We missed the action before the flop, but we walked up to a big pot brewing as the dealer spread out a flop of {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. The two blinds checked, and Jan Skampa put out a bet of 8,400. Harsukhpaul Sangha called from the small blind, but John Nguyen snuck in a check-raise to 23,000 total. The action was back on Skampa now, and he moved all in for about 60,000. Not to be outdone, Sangha shoved over the top for about 100,000 total, and Nguyen got the message and ducked out of the way. With Skampa at risk, the cards were on their backs:

Sangha: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} (top set)
Skampa: {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} (oops, four outs)

The turn {6-Hearts} was not the jack Skampa was looking for, and neither was the {2-Clubs} on fifth street. Unable to find his out cards, Skampa has been sent to the rail, and Sangha shoots himself all the way up over 200,000 in chips.
