More Tables Moving

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Another round of seven tables are being moved from the Orange section of the Amazon room into the Pavilion room.

The Orange section is now down to just 12 tables as space continues to get cleared for Event #54 while simultaneously making this event easier to manage from the tournament directors viewpoint.

Klangefeldt Can’t Hit Twice

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kereshmeh Klangefeldt moved all in for her last sub 15,000 chips and her opponent told her, “I got them back to back.” before calling and turning over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Klangefeldt said she was dead and showed her {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} but was reassured it wasn’t over yet.

The flop befuddled the whole table for a moment as the dealer put out [{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} fpr a set a piece. “You could still hit an eight.” came more unlikely reassurance, but the turn {3-Clubs} and river {9-Clubs} saw Klangefeldt eliminated.

Casino Employees Champ's Bluff Fails

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

On a board of {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} with roughly 32,000 in the middle, 2012 Casino Employees Champion Chiab Saechao was confronted with a 12,500-chip bet.

After pausing to mull over a decision for a few minutes, Saechao cut out a raise amounting to 30,000.

His opponent made the call and Saechao announced, "You got it!"

Saechao's opponent then tabled {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two-pair and Saechao tapped the table and mucked his hand while slipping to 21,200 in chips.

Oganyan Won’t Show All

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Aram Oganyan face a bet of 6,700 on the turn of a board reading {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. He raised big enough to put his opponent all in and she sat quietly thinking about what to do. Suddenlu she started laughing and checked her cards again before making a seemingly reluctant fold saying. “Nice bluff.”

Another player said he had already folded a set. Oganyan said he wanted to show his cards to just her but the dealer pointed out that was not allowed so the mystery will have to remain.
