Levy Leaves

Grant Levy
Grant Levy

Grant Levy has just left the Summit Room here at Sky City Casino, not managing to survive through Day 1b of the 2011 APPT Queenstown Main Event.

Levy was holding {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on a flop showing {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} when he got the remainder of his chips in the middle and when Marcel Schreiner made the call holding {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} Levy would need help that would never came as the turn and river bricked out.

Laidlaw Building

The action started when Daniel Laidlaw opened the pot to 900 from middle position. One player made the call from late position before Dale Philip decided to also stay in the hand from the big blind.

The flop was dealt out {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Philip checked to the aggressor, with Laidlaw making it 1,700 to go. The other player got out of the way and Philip made the call.

Laidlaw and Philip would check as the {q-Diamonds} hit the turn and would watch on as the {5-Spades} landed on the river. This time Philip would lead, firing out 2,400. Laidlaw thought for a few moments before making it 7,600. When Philip folded the pot was sent to Laidlaw as he makes a late run towards the higher end of the chip leader board.

Queen-Town

The action was caught with Ben McLean opening to 1,100. Play folded to Martin Cardno in the small blind, who without hesitation, announced all in, and committed his remaining stack of 7,900 into the pot. WIth the decision back on McLean, he deliberated for a moment before finally making the call.

Cardno: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
McLean: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, with Cardno hitting one of his many outs on the river to double up to just under starting stack.

Three More Please

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

The clock has been paused at the 2011 APPT Queenstown Main Event and the call for three more hands has been made! Stay tuned for any late bustouts and end of day counts!

Can't Survive Three

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Marcos Oliveira was only three more hands away from a day two berth, but got unlucky to run his 11,000 chip-stack holding {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} into the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} of Ryan McKay.

The board ran out a meaningless {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and Oliveira was sent home late into the last level of the day, while McKay is looking like going into Day 2 with a healthy stack.
