Callaghan Chipping Away

David Callaghan has just doubled up through Michael McDonald as the action continues with our remaining 14 players in WSOP Event #35.

McDonald raised to 28,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Callaghan who re-raised to 96,000 from the small blind. McDonald called, then bet the pot after the flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}, which was enough to put Callaghan all-in.

Callaghan: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}
McDonald: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}

"Man, that was a good flop for you," McDonald exclaimed. Indeed - it was in fact a good board for Callaghan all round, as the turn and river ran out {K-Hearts}, {4-Diamonds} to see Callaghan fill up and score the double up. He's now on 250,000 in chips as a result

Bleznick Slips

The action folded around to Jared Bleznick who limped in from the small blind; Gregory Brooks checked his option from the big blind, so it was heads-up to the flop of {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

Bleznick c-bet 16,000, but Brooks called before both players checked down the turn of the {4-Diamonds} and the repeat {4-Hearts} on the river. Brooks opened {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} but his hand was best, so he picked up the pot.

"Not a Lot of Diamonds Left"

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

David "Devilfish" Ulliott raised the pot (42,000) from the cutoff and received a call from Jason Mercier in the big blind. Both players checked the {9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop, which was followed by the {8-Clubs} on the turn. Mercier was first to act and fired out 57,000, which Devilfish called. Both players then checked the {10-Clubs} river.

"Straight," said Ulliott.

"Straight," Mercier also proclaimed as he showed {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

"Diamond would have been nice. You're too lucky for that shit to come off," replied the Devilfish as he showed the inferior {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

"Not a lot of diamonds left," was Mercier's reply as he stacked his newly won chips.

Peter Jetten Eliminated in 14th Place ($23,519); David Ulliott Eliminated in 13th Place ($23,519)

David 'Devilfish' Ulliott, not this time.
David 'Devilfish' Ulliott, not this time.

David "Devilfish" Ulliott raised to 25,000 from the button and Peter Jetten re-raised to 110,000 from the small blind with Jason Mercier calling from the big blind and Ulliott calling from the button.

The flop came down {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Jetten open-shoved all in, Mercier then instantly went all in and Devilfish did the same.

Mercier: {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Jetten: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Ulliott: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Ulliott was ahead with a set of jacks, but Mercier had both straight and flush draws and Jetten's aces weren't looking too good.

The turn came {q-Clubs} and Mercier completed his straight to put them both in danger. The river was the {4-Clubs} and both Jetten and Devilfish hit the rail.

The fish didn't leave without a good rant however as he called Mercier "the luckiest f***ing mother f***cker alive"

Mercier has 1,240,000 after the hand and we are now re-drawing for the final two tables.

Merrifield Scores

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

The action folded around to Steven Merrifield who raised to 26,000 from the button pre-flop; Jared Bleznick called from the big blind and then both players checked the flop of {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} before Bleznick led out for 20,000 on the turn of the {8-Hearts}.

Merrifield called and then he called Bleznick's bet of 65,000 on the river of the {2-Clubs} before showing down {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for two pair. Bleznick kicked his hand into the muck.
