More Chips for Cada

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Again we saw Joe Cada involved in a pot and again he was on the receiving end at the end of the hand. This time the pot was a lot smaller and it was not him at risk, but his opponent. Cada had {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} allin against {A-Spades}{9-Spades} and the board read {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} | {7-Diamonds} | {J-Diamonds}. Neither player improved and the ace-king high from Cada took down the pot.

Schwartz Keeps Winning; Gets Double Knockout

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A late position player raises up to 2,700. The cutoff re-raises all in for not much more. Evan Schwartz pops the action again on the button making it 8,200 to go. The initial raiser calls and they take a flop with one player all in. The flop fell {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. The initial raiser ships all in on the flop. Schwartz calls and all three players flipped up their hands.

Schwartz: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Late Position Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Short Stack Cutoff: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Schwartz had his opponents in trouble. The {7-Diamonds} and {2-Clubs} on the turn and river officially sent Schwartz opponents packing. Schwartz got the double knockout and he is sitting with 168,000

Joe Cada Doubles

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

When we arrived the dealer was leaning over the table counting Joe Cada's stack. In the end the number was 50,200 and Cada's next door neighbor had to stack that amount of chips off and give it to Cada. Cada had his {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} still in front of him and the board was also still out there: {3-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Hearts} | {5-Hearts} | {7-Clubs}. What Cada's opponent had, or how and when all the chips went into the middle in this battle of the blinds, we do not know. What we do know is that Cada had well over a 100,000 in chips.

Filippi Busts Another One

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Amnon Filippi was just involved in a rather big pot and the end result for him is a whole lot of new chips. On a {5-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop he check-raised the cutoff's 6,400 bet to 20,000. The cutoff shoved for an unknown amount of chips, and Filippi called immediately.

The cutoff showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} while Filippi had {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The {K-Hearts} on the turn didn't look to good for Filippi but the {K-Clubs} on the river did. Amnon had his opponent covered and started stacking his new chips while the dealer shouted "Pay out table 443!" Filippi didn't make his stacks twenty high so we had some trouble counting, but it looks like he has at least 130,000.

Schwartz Raises the Stakes

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Evan Schwartz raised it up to 2,600 preflop and James Dempsey called from the cutoff. the flop came {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} and Schwartz bet 4,100. Dempsey called and they went to the turn. The turn came {2-Hearts} and this time Schwartz checked. Dempsey went into the arsenal and came out with 6,800.

This was not enough for Schwartz and he bumped it up to 20,000. Dempsey did not like this but after some time elected to fold.

Schwartz mucked and he now sits with 127,000. Dempsey is down to 20,400.

Flack Out

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Layne Flack (photo: event 16)
Layne Flack (photo: event 16)

On an {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop we saw 18,000 in front of Layne Flack while his opponent on the button had 4,200 in front of him and the decision to either fold, or call Flack's all in. He chose the latter and turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. Flack showed his {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and had to hope for some aces and queens to keep him in the tournament. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn was a paint card but not the right one. The {5-Diamonds} on the river wasn't either and that was the end of it for Flack.

"Good call" said Flack without any double meaning to his words. "See you guys, good luck!" Flack said to all the players at the table. Flack is on his way to the pay-out desk for the first time this summer.

We're In The Money!

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

That was a quick bubble, we didn't even play hand for hand. People were not holding back and for some of them that costed. Players are guaranteed $2,898 and they'll keep on paying out that amount till we reach 171 players.

Carson Busts One

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mike Carson
Mike Carson

Bracelet winner Mike Carson is playing a lot of events so far this year, and doing fairly well. He has a stack in this tournament and just added some chips to that.

The player under-the-gun opened to 2,700 and from the button Carson made it 11,000. When both blinds folded the under-the-gun player shoved all in for 14,400 total. Carson made the call and tabled {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. He was up against {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and directly flopped a jack: {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. The {Q-Spades} on the turn and {K-Spades} on the river secured him the pot and we're one closer to the money.

Welch Bets Big on River

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The board was reading {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Ryan Welch fired out a big bet of 19,500. His opponent went deep into the tank as it was for most of his chips. After some thought he could not figure what Welch was holding and released his hand. Welch decided to show one of his cards and he showed the {4-Diamonds}. That did nothing for the board and it looked like he might have snag a pot off his opponent with a well-timed bluff.
