The Room Fills with Boos

Claudio Elizalde

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Players have been taking full advantage of the Main Event coverage being projected up on the many screens in the Paris Ballroom and during one particular hand, all eyes were on Toby Lewis as he contemplated what to do with his nut flush on a paired board.

The room filled with gasps multiple times when the many viewers thought he would fold and when he finally did, the tournament area reverberated with boos.

A rather funny scenario to have a full tournament watching another tournament in action at the same time.

Steve Buell moved all-in from middle position and Dalibor Dula made the call from the small blind.

Steve Buell: A♠J♥
Dalibor Dula: Q♠Q♣

Buell would flop a jack on the J♦6♦9♣ flop, opening the door to victory slightly wider, but the 7♠ turn and the 3♦ river would secure the elimination for Dula and send Buell home on the stone bubble.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Justin Fawcett was wishing he wasn't involved in this particular hand when he called the all in of Mackenzie Kramer.

Mackenzie Kramer: K♣K♥
Justin Fawcett : J♠J♥

The table let out a collective, "Awwwww..." when the flop came A♦5♦J♣, the turn and river never had a king come and the 4♠ and 3♠ were bricks.

The bubble did not burst, so players are going on a scheduled break and will return to Level 20, with blinds 10,000/20,000 and a 20,000 big blind ante.

During the break, the floor staff will be coloring off the 1,000 denomination chip.

Fox Finds the Fox Hole

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/160,000, 16,000 ante

Patrick Fox had the player on the button at risk and it appeared to be a flip when the cards were on their backs.

Button: A♣K♠
Patrick Fox: 6♥6♠

Once the flop came 6♦3♣3♦, Fox surged into the lead as he flopped a boat. The 5♦ on the turn dashed any hopes and the 9♦ on the river was of no consequence.
