Ball's Elimination

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Scott Ball was knocked out a few minutes ago, and we caught him as he wandered towards the exit.

"I hadn't played a hand today," Ball said, as he started out with very little chips.

"The cutoff raised and I shoved {J-}{9-} for 21,000," Ball added, and the initial raiser turned out to have {A-}{J-}.

Ball did not get any help and he's off back into the city to try his luck in some of the other events around town.

Anderson Plays a Funky One

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Calvin Anderson raised from the button to 4,300 and the gentleman in the big blind opted to defend. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Anderson's continuation bet of 4,500 was check-called.

On the turn the {4-Diamonds} hit and the big blind checked again. Anderson bet 8,000 this time around, only to get check-raised up to 30,000.

Anderson tanked for quite a bit, but ultimately he called with about 30,000 left behind.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and quickly the big blind checked.

Anderson couldn't keep a straight face, and smiled, before betting the remainder of his grey chips, leaving himself with about 2,000.

Anderson's opponent showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and threw them into the muck, as he said, "It didn't come."

"I didn't think you would call," Anderson's opponent said with a smile, and some of the other players at the table voiced the same sentiment.

The World Series of Poker bracelet winner laughed, as his opponent continued by saying, "That was the first time I lost with big slick this tournament."

Anderson raked in a big pot and sits on 105,000 while his opponent was left with around 90,000 chips.

One for Furey

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

From under the gun plus one, Carlos Mortensen raised to 4,500. In the next seat was Charles Furey, and he reraised to 15,500. Play folded back around to Mortensen, and he called with just over 76,000 behind.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Mortensen checked. Furey bet 25,000, and Mortensen folded.

Shannon Shorr raised to 4,200 from middle position, and Matt Iles called from the small blind. Nick Yunis called out of the big blind to complete the preflop action, and the dealer dealt out the {A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Action checked to Shorr, and he bet 5,100. Iles folded, but Yunis called.

After the {K-Hearts} was added to the board on the turn, Yunis checked. Shorr bet 9,000, and Yunis quickly folded.
