Weissman Picks Off Chock

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Joey Weissman opened to 1,200 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 4,000 from Justin Chock in the big blind. Check-check on the {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, and the {j-Clubs} hit the turn. Weissman called a bet of 3,500 and the river {k-Spades} paired the board. Chock bet 7,000 this time and Weissman tanked a couple of minutes before calling.

Chock showed {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} for an airball and Weissman took it with {q-}{j-}.

Capps and Engel Take Seats

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Jesse Capps and Aussie Millions champ Ari Engel entered the tournament.

Capps got off to a running start, three-betting to 3,100 from the button on one of his first hands, and seeing an opponent who opened to 1,100 in middle position call. Capps bet 2,100 on the {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop when checked to, and his opponent called. The {k-Spades} and {a-Diamonds} both got checked through and Capps won with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

"You Know I'm a Calling Station, Right?"

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We found Nick Yunis checking under the gun on a completed board of {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Robert Schulz moved in on the button to put Yunis at risk for 13,850.

"You know I'm a calling station, right?" the Chilean said after thinking a bit. "I'm going to go against my gut."

He mucked, preserving his remaining chips.

At another table, former November Niner Sylvain Loosli took a seat.

Eveslage Crushing

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Chad Eveslage
Chad Eveslage

Chad Eveslage checked from the big blind on a {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades} board and an opponent in early position bet 3,600. Eveslage made it 11,000 and his opponent jammed for about 21,000. Eveslage snapped with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nuts but he had cards to fade as his opponent had a set of nines. The {6-Clubs} river was a blank.

The next hand, there was an open to 750 from Joey Weissman and a call from Duwayne Kosi. Eveslage made it 3,500 and both opponents called. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Eveslage checked. Weissman did likewise and Kosi bet 8,100. Eveslage was the only caller, and he check-called another 15,600 on the {3-Spades} turn. Check-check on the {9-Diamonds}, and Eveslage revealed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} that his opponent couldn't beat.
