Manuel Bevand came in raising to 12,000 in early position, and Bryn Kenney three-bet to 29,000 from the hijack. Bevand clicked it back to 52,000, Kenney shoved for 130,000, and the cards were on their backs soon thereafter.
Showdown
Bevand:
Kenney:
There was no help for Kenny on the board, and Bevand's queens outrun him. Kenney is forced to the rail in 25th place, and the money bubble is starting to loom on the horizon.
Bevand has positioned himself well as he stacks up a half-million chips following that knockout.
Antonio Esfandiari (pictured in less chatty times)
Antonio Esfandiari came back from the dinner break awfully chatty. He seems to be a talkative person by nature, but he's really been chattering heavily for the last half hour.
While we were here at our desk typing, we couldn't help but eavesdrop on his table talk about 25 feet away. Matt Marafioti was his first target.
"Kid has a decision every hand," he said as Marafioti tanked preflop. "Every single hand, this kid's got a decision." The two exchanged a few quieter comments, and Esfandiari continued. "Now you're just doing it to get under my skin. Every hand."
A few moments later, Esfandiari was forced out of a pot by David Benyamine. "Take it, sir," he said. "You've been beating me for eight years. I don't see that changing any time soon."
Just then, Andy Frankenberger came sprinting past their table on his way to the restroom, presumably. "Frankenberger!" Esfandiari's voice followed him out the door. "Frankenberger. That's gotta be the coolest name in poker. Except Lunkin. Lunkin. Lun-kin. We got a Lunkin!"
If you had more than twice the average chips with 24 players left in a $10k, you might be a little chatty, too.
Shaun Deeb opened to 12,000 under the gun, and Patrick Cronin three-bet to 27,000 a couple seats over. Deeb flatted, and off they went.
The brought a continuation bet of 25,000 from Cronin. Deeb check-called. The turn came the , and Deeb checked again. Cronin had 90,000 chips left, and he shoved them all in. Deeb double-checked his , then made the call. His kicker was no good, though, as Cronin rolled over the . That's a full house, and Deeb has been relieved of a chunk of his chips. That pot knocks him back to 475,000, while Cronin doubles his way close to 300,000.
We have been watching Table #447 for the past thirty-minutes and not a lot has happened. The most interesting thing about the table is the constant needle that Antonio Esfandiari is sticking into the ribs of Matt Marafioti for taking so long to make his decisions. Here is the action from the last thirty-minutes:
David Benyamine raised to 13,000 in first position and Daniel Weinman three-bet to 23,000 in the cutoff. Benyamine made the call and the pair went to the flop. The action checked through on a board of and Benyamine turned over for the boat whilst Weinman had .
Esfandiari raised on the button and Benyamine defended his big blind. The flop was and Benyamine took it down with a 46,000 check-raise after Esfandiari had tried to pinch it with a 16,000 c-bet.
Benyamine limped into the pot from the small blind and Mohsin Charania checked his option. The flop was and Benyamine check-folded to a 9,000 Charania bet.
Charania raised to 13,000 in mid-position and Esfandiari defended the big blind. The flop was and both players checked. Moving onto the turn and we saw the and Charania won the pot with a 14,000 bet.
Benyamine limped from the small blind and Charania checked his option. The flop was , Benyamine bet 6,000 and Charania called. The turn was and the same action ensued; this time for 15,000. Finally we saw the , both players checked and Charania won the pot holding .
Action folded to Ryan Julius in the small blind and he raised to 15,000. Shaun Deeb three-bet to 40,000 from the big blind, but Julius came right back over the top with a four-bet to about 80,000. Deeb five-bet, Julius six-bet shoved for 270,000, and Deeb called.
Julius:
Deeb:
Deeb needed an ace, but didn't find it as the board rolled out .
Shaun Deeb opened with a raise to 16,000 before Jason Senti three-bet shoved for just about 30,000 total. When Deeb called, Senti was presented with some bad news.
Showdown
Deeb:
Senti:
Senti did manage to turn an extra two outs when the board showed , but he could not find his straight. The river is the last of his day, and the former November Niner is out in 24th place.
The action folded around to Hoyt Corkins in the hijack seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's Hoyt Corkins," said Antonio Esfandiari.
Corkins made the raise to 12,000.
"Look at this…Corkins has adjusted with the times…the old min-raise bulls&*t," said Esfandiari.
The action had stopped at Matt Marafioti in the small blind.
"The action is on you kid," laughed Esfandiari who has been ribbing Marafioti since dinner.
Marafioti folded and Esfandiari made the call from the big blind. The flop was the and both players checked. The turn was the , Esfandiari bet 14,000 and Corkins called. The river card was the and Esfandiari bet 26,000 and once again Corkins called. Esfandiari turned over for king high and Corkins turned over for ace high.
Ryan Julius opened to 16,000 in early position, and the action folded around to the blinds. In the small, Steven Silverman thought he was the one opening the pot, and he made it 24,000. It ended up being a misclick mini-reraise, and Julius flatted to see the flop.
It came , and Silverman shoved the rest of his short stack in holding . Julius made the call, and he was drawing for the knockout with his .
Turn:
That ends things right there for Silverman. He spent a short while standing behind his chair after watching his chips pushed to his opponent, then shook his head and ducked out of the room.
