Second Heads-Up table

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Over at 287, Eric Cajelias is heads-up with Erion Islamay. Cajelais has 270,000 and Islamay has 180,000 after his last hand with Bill Heupel

Heupel open-shoved his last 40,000 or so on the turn when the board read {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} getting a call from Islamay. Heupel clearly didn't think he was getting called as he showed down {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} to the {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of Islamay. The river was a {10-Spades} and Islamay scooped the pot to get into heads-up play with only a slight disadvantage.

David Pham also has his three-handed table covered pretty easily, so they may be our next table to get heads-up. We'll keep you posted.

Cajelais Starting Heads-Up Strong

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Erion Islamay raised to 3,300 from the button and got re-raised to 11,600 by Cajelias in the big blind. Islamay called and they saw a {6-Clubs}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Cajelias bet 14,000 on the flop and Islamay called.

The turn was a {9-Diamonds} and Cajelais bet 27,000 which led to a fold from Islamay.

Cajelias is up to 300,000 for a two to one chip lead on Islamay

Negreanu No More

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised to 3,600 on the button, and Daniel Fischer called in the small blind. Keeping with his aggressive style, Giorgio Medici squeezed and raised it 12,000 on top. Negreanu thought for about 20 seconds before calling, and Fischer came along as well to make it a family pot. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and Fischer checked to Medici who fired out 20,000. After about 15 seconds of thought, Negreanu went all-in, causing a fold from Fischer. Medici called, and the players flipped their cards up.

Negreanu: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Medici: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Negreanu picked up some additional outs with the {5-Clubs} on the turn, but the river brought the {10-Hearts}. Negreanu rushed off to the next tournament, while Medici prepared for his heads up battle with Fischer. Medici has Fischer outchipped by at least 2-to-1.

275, Get A Move On!

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

With 3 heads-up matches in progress and Dan Kelly already winning his table, table 275 is the anomaly with seven players still remaining. Michael Capener, Robert Georato, Andrew Pantling, Noah Sandler, Amit Makhija, Victor Ramdin, and Jason Deutsch are taking their sweet sweet time and we hope they decide to make some moves soon or else they'll be here all night!

Verspui Busts DeMichele

Level 5 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike DeMichele was riding a short stack for a long time, but his luck finally ran out, as he has just been busted by Robbie Verspui. We caught the hand as DeMichele was contemplating calling all in on a {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board. He held his cards, {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, practically face up in one hand and the rest of his small stack in the other. He threw the chips in, and saw that precentage wise he was in solid shape, as Verspui showed {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The turn brough the {7-Spades}, giving DeMichele even more outs. But the river came the {k-Hearts}, and DeMichele never caught up. That table is now three handed.
