"Captain Jack Doesn't Stab"

HillKerby

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was around 7,000 in the middle on a flop of with action heads up between Tam Le, who was under the gun, and Scotter Clark who was in middle position. Le had a bet of 7,000 out in front of him and Clark was in the process of calling. The call brought the turn and both players checked. The river then fell and both players checked once more to take the hand to showdown.

Le tabled for a queen-high straight and Clark mucked his hand. There was talk about hope that Clark was going to take a stab at the pot on one of the later streets to steal it away from Le.

Dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow to inject some fun into the room, Clark spouted back: "Captain Jack doesn't stab!"

Large Stacks on Table 1

HillKerby

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

Table 1 has seen a rotating lineup throughout the afternoon with one consistent theme: action. Maybe two players out of a full table of nine have been present at the table since the start of the tournament, with other seats seeing players come and go regularly. One player to have joined within the last couple of hours is Shelly Morrill, who finds herself as the likely chip leader across the 10 tables-worth of action with Level 9 soon coming to a close. Rich Stevens sits on her direct left and also has over 100,000 in chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Shelly Morrill	184,000
Rich Stevens	124,300	118,700
Joseph Maas	28,000	3,800
Brad Berman	24,500	8,100
Ian Matakis	21,000	-16,400
Pat Kenney	14,100	4,000
Vic Peppe	13,500	-7,000

HillKerby

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

The big blind folded and the opener called to take action heads up to the flop . Bergeth was first to act and kept his foot on the pedal, shoving the rest of his chips into the middle.

Bergeth's opponent asked for a count and the amount to call was set to be 17,500. The player thought for a few moments and then sent his cards to the muck.

HillKerby

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

Matt Alexander saw action folded to him in the cutoff and opened to 2,500. The player on the button went all in for what looked to be at least 35,000 and the players in the blinds folded to put action back on Alexander. He tossed in a chip to signify a call.

All-In Player:
Matt Alexander:

Alexander was poised to add a significant chunk of chips to his stack and saw the runout come in his favor, falling to give him an unnecessary Broadway en route to a six-figure stack.

Perpich Showers a Shorty

HillKerby

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

A player shoved for his last 5,000 or so from under the gun and action folded around to Bill Perpich, who reraised all in from the cutoff. All remaining players folded and the two tabled their hands.

All-In Player:
Bill Perpich:

The all-in player remarked as he tabled his hand about hoping that he was not dominated preflop. After seeing Perpich's two overcards, he affirmed that he was happy his hand was at least live. His two live cards picked up four more outs on the flop , however he would be left high and dry after the turn and river fell to finish the runout. He exchanged pleasantries of a good game with the table and made his way from the tournament area.

Rockowitz Earns a Dub

HillKerby

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded around to the hijack and he put in a raise to 1,600. Both the cutoff and the player on the button called to put action onto Jesse Rockowitz, who three-bet all in from the small blind. Action folded back around to the player on the button, who asked how much it was to call.

Rockowitz cut down his stack to clearly total 12,600 and the dealer immediately announced the amount. The player on the button picked up enough chips with which to call and then hesitated for a second, ultimately tossing them in to make the call and send the two off to the races.

Jesse Rockowitz:
Opponent:

The board came , leaving Rockowitz's tens best to score him the double.
