Cada Doubles Through Ruge Before Break

Level 21 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

Just before the break, Joe Cada completed his small blind. Arne Ruge raised to 9,000 in the big blind and Cada called.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Cada checked, Ruge bet 9,000. Cada raised to 33,300 and Ruge pondered his options. Ruge shoved with the bigger stack and Cada snap-called.

Joe Cada: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Arne Ruge: {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

They both had a flush draw with Cada also having a pair of sixes and the upper-hand with the higher club cards. Ruge also had a gut-shot straight draw.

The rest of the board was completed with the {6-Hearts} on the turn to give Cada trip sixes and the {a-Diamonds} on the river completed the story for Cada as he made it a full house in the end. After counting out the stacks, Cada had 121,200 in total, which meant that Ruge was back to just below a ton.

Phil Hellmuth Wants to Make You Money

Level 21 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Phil Hellmuth discusses the recent twitter debate regarding buying parts in players and just how you will make money. Some players say the markups are outrageous, Phil stands by making money via players regardless and explains why. The argument over this started at the super high roller. The WSOP 2018 has a lot of players staking. Many of the players staked at WSOP are champs that have made people a lot of money. What difference does it make marking up a small margin? Phil wants to make you money, none it seems - if as usual you choose wisely!

Blinds: 1,500/3,000

The board read {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Ihar Soika raised all in over Taylor Paur's initial bet. Paur called with the remainder of his chips and players then revealed their hands with Paur at risk,

Ihar Soika: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Taylor Paur: {a-}{q-}

The turn came the {8-Clubs} and Soika had Paur drawing dead to the {2-Spades} on the river.

D'Ambrosio and Pantaleo Both Out

Level 20 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Frank Williams raised to 5,500 from the button, Jimmy D'Ambrosio shoved all in for 19,800 in total from the small blind. Williams considered his options and then reluctantly called.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Frank Williams: {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} - Williams hit a runner-runner straight to eliminate D'Ambrosio.

"That was a fun sweat!" D'Ambrosio said, not realizing he had lost the hand. "Oh my god, I didn't see the ten" he exclaimed when the fact he had lost was pointed out to him.

Shortly after, Giuseppe Pantaleo, was also eliminated from the same table.

Is This a Step into the Future for Pokers Real Grinders? 14000 Poker Players Unite!

Level 20 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Is the Real Grinders lounge a look into the future for the real grinders of Poker? Some of Pokers biggest names can be found in the lounge as you step inside. They all have the same ideas, relax, chat and rejuvenate. During the WSOP 2018 over fourteen thousand Real Grinders members could walk through the lounge where they will rest, eat & drink on their poker break. We found Jeff Madsen and Dan Heimiller hanging out there today between events. Real Grinders very own Raymond Davis was also there with quite a number of Real Grinders members lounging.
