Tournament Structure Changed

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Originally, Bally's Main Event Mania $1,500 Main Event called for Day 1 to play through 15 levels. Now, an altered plan has been put in place.

Instead of 15 levels, just 12 will be played today. That will leave registration open until the start of Day 2, which will remain scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday. In theory, that should allow for many more entries as players run out of steam in the other major event taking place in town.

As part of the new plan, tonight's dinner break will be nixed and a normal 15-minute break will instead occur after Level 9.

Vi Doubles Through Brown

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

On a {7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Jeremy Brown bet 3,200 from the cutoff after his opponents in the blinds checked to him. Small blind Corel Theuma called, and big blind Roger Vi woke up with 10,900. Brown clicked back to 20,200, chasing away Theuma. Vi called though, and the turn brought a {2-Diamonds}.

Vi checked, Brown shoved, and Vi thought briefly before calling off his last 26,300.

Vi: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Brown: {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Brown was crushed and did not improve on the {8-Hearts} river.

"I mucked ace-deuce like an asshole," Theuma said with a sigh.

Robledo Sliding

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kevin Ward opened in middle position for 3,000 and got three callers. He continued for 6,000 on the {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop. Only Lewis Robledo, on the button, called. On the {a-Hearts} turn, Ward quickly shoved for about 28,000, and Robledo was out of there in a hurry.

Walton Ships on Theuma

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Walton checked a {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop from the big blind and called 6,500 from Corel Theuma on the button. On the {6-Spades} turn, Walton checked and Theuma bet 12,000. Walton announced he was all in and Theuma got a count of 57,500.

Finally, he tossed {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} into the middle face up. He asked Walton if he'd bluffed him.

"If I wanted you to see, I'd have shown you," Walton replied with a laugh.

Viny Lima
Viny Lima

A player in the cutoff shoved for 15,000 and Viny Lima quickly called out of the big blind with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. It was a flip against {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} and the flip went to Lima on the river as it ran {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Before that, the players said Lima had also won a big pot with {k-}{k-} on a board of {7-}{7-}{10-}{k-}{5-}. His opponent had bet-called the river against a check-raise with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Ward Can't Find an Out

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Randall Webb bet 6,000 on a {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop out of the hijack and Kevin Ward piled for 37,500. Webb went into the tank for over a minute an called.

Ward: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Webb: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Webb was ahead for the minute but had a lot of cards to fade. The {7-Diamonds} and {2-Spades} were safe for him and he received a fist bump from Ward.
