Wasicka Hanging On

The board read {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds} when we walked up to the table. Paul Wasicka bet 700 and a player from middle position made the call.

The {2-Clubs} came on the turn and Wasicka moved all in for 800 and was called by his opponent.

Wasicka showed {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} and his opponent held {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

The river brought the {5-Spades} and Wasicka doubled up to 7,000.

One player at the table found the bet sizing in the hand to be hilarious, saying to Wasicka, "That should have gone a lot quicker. You should have bet 400 on the turn and 400 on the river."

Cunningham Gets It All In

In middle position, Seat 3 raised to 1,200 and was reraised to 5,500 by Allen Cunningham in the small blind. Seat 3, who had more chips than Cunningham, moved all in.

Cunningham, who had 5,100 behind, made the call and showed {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Seat 3 was ahead with {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Things were looking grim for Cunningham when the flop came {9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}. In order to win he would need running tens. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. "A one in 800 shot," tablemate Andy Black exclaimed.

Anticipation surrounded the river card as the dealer burned and flipped the {8-Clubs}. Cunningham was eliminated from the hand and quickly made his exit from the Pavilion Room.

Collins checked and the button shoved for about 8,000 and Collins made the call.

Collins tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and his opponent showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

The river was the {4-Clubs} and Collins increased his stack to 26,000 while his opponent hit the rail.

Deeb Chips Up

The board read {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades} when we walked up to the table.

The big blind checked, leaving Shaun Deeb with a decision. Deeb opted to move all in for around 4,500. The player in the big blind would be at risk if he made the call.

The player in the big blind thought about it for a moment before releasing his hand.

Deeb told our reporter that he had king-ten and, "Came close to saying something to get him to call."

Deeb is up to 11,000.

Table of Death

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

Two familiar faces started the day at Table 22: "Miami" John Cernuto and Kathy Leibert. Both of them are still there, but they have been joined by some new faces as of late.

As tables broken, players are switched to different tables. Cernuto and Liebert have been joined by Cory Carroll, Andy Black, and Allen Cunningham. With half the table established pros, the action should be intense.

Seat 2- Carroll
Seat 3- Liebert
Seat 4- Cernuto
Seat 7- Black
Seat 9- Cunningham
