Addamo Caught Again, Busts Shortly Afterwards

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

Michael Addamo was once again seen in a sizeable pot, with the action caught on the river of the {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board where Addamo fired 84,000. Aaron van Blarcum tank-called and his {a-}{6-} was good against Addamo' bluff. Addamo was left with crumbles and he would be eliminated on the next hand.

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

Elio Fox put in a continuation-bet of 2,500 from second position on {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, and Tsugunari Toma called from the button. The turn brought a {10-Diamonds} and Fox slowed down, check-calling 7,000. On the {9-Clubs} river Fox checked and Toma bet 17,000. Fox woke up with a raise to 76,000, but Toma was undeterred. He splashed in 200,000 in response. Fox used a time extension then folded.

Addamo Gets Some Back

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

George Wolff raised to 2,500 on his button and Michael Addamo reraised to 12,500 from the small blind. Wolff flatted and they saw a {5-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop. Addamo bet 4,000 and Wolff called. They checked the {2-Hearts} turn and Addamo went for thin value, betting 9,000 on the {5-Spades} river. Wolff called right away and Addamo flipped {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for the best hand. Wolff flashed {q-}{q-}, showing that the board texture prevented him from a bigger loss.

Burns Picks Off Addamo for Heaps

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

In what seemed to be a preflop three-bet pot, Michael Addamo bet 10,000 from the small blind on {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Kahle Burns called in the cutoff. The turn came {7-Diamonds} and Addamo opted to fire a huge 65,000-bet. Burns paused and then called. Addamo tapped the felt when the {10-Spades} landed and Burns quickly checked back. Addamo showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for air and Burns took it down with a better ace-high, turning up {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

Chidwick Busted Right Away

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

If it wasn't the first hand, it was certainly one of the first hands, and it was a quick A$100K for British superstar Stephen Chidwick.

Three players saw an {8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and action checked to Seth Davies, who bet 6,000 from the button. Alex Foxen made it 19,500 in the small blind and Chidwick cold-called in the big. Davies made it three to the {10-Diamonds}, which checked around. The river was an {8-Spades} and Foxen used a time extension then bet 70,000. Chidwick responded with an all-in shove. Davies thought briefly then got out of the way.

Foxen went deep into the tank, using all of his time extensions and muttering to himself. Finally, he slammed in some chips and Chidwick rolled over {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Foxen showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a turned flush and took it down while Chidwick headed to the rail.
