Kaplan's Bluff Fails

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The board showed {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} when Jaime Kaplan moved all in from the hijack for right around 130,000 chips. A similar amount of chips was already in the middle and his opponent, Morgan Frederick Crosta, made the call from the button.

Kaplan showed {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Crosta claimed the pot showing {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Kaplan was knocked out and Crosta now has a huge stack.

Sorel Slips

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Kyle Sorel
Kyle Sorel

After a preflop raising war between Shyam Srinivasan and Kyle Sorel, the latter was faced with what looked like a six-bet to around 170,000. Sorel, who had 100,000 in front of him, thought better of it and mucked his hand.

Our blogger turned away to catch an all-in hand with Alex Bilokur, during which time Sorel doubled up Douglas Ferreira Souza to 84,000. The one-time chip leader now has around 860,000 chips.

Max, Sam and Luc Greenwood All Running Deep

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Sam Greenwood
Sam Greenwood

So far, one of the biggest stories that has developed in the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event has been the deep run that is being made by the Greenwood brothers, Max, Sam and Luc.

Of the three, Max is the most successful in the live poker realm, but that could all very well change in this event. Max does boast $1,285,477 in career live tournament earnings, while Sam has $390,782 and Luc has $203,048. Sam is currently doing the best in this event, though, with over 800,000 chips in his stack while his two brothers are well below the average stack.

The largest score of Max's career came in 2008 when he won a $1,000 event at the World Series of Poker for a payday of $693,392. Sam's largest score came much more recent and was worth $99,076. He took second in a side event at the European Poker Tour Prague. Luc's largest score actually came in this very event, when he took 21st in 2010 for $75,000.

Combined, the Greenwood trio has combined for $1,879,307. That includes 29 WSOP cashes and three World Poker Tour cashes.

Bilokur Binks a Flush

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Alex Bilokur was all in and at risk preflop for 84,000 holding {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, and was dominated by Rudi Johnsen's {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

Johnsen remained in the lead as the flop fell {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}, but the {q-Hearts} turned, giving Bilokur a hear flush draw.

The suicide king - {k-Hearts} - spiked on the river, giving the Russian a flush, and he doubled to 170,000 chips. Johnsen fell to 110,000.

Srinivasan Closing in on The Leaders

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Shyam Srinivasan just knocked out Troy Nisbet and he's now almost up to 900,000 chips. The board read {J-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs} when Nisbet moved all in and Srinivasan quickly made the call.

Srinivasan: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Nisbet: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The river brought the {4-Spades} and Nisbet was knocked out.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We arrived at the table in time to find David Bell all in and at risk against Norman Balla on a flop of {K-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Bell showed {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for an open-ended straight draw while Balla tabled {A-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for top pair with top kicker.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs}, meaning hat Bell needed to hit his straight draw in order to stay alive in the tournament. Alas, the {J-Hearts} hit the river and Bell was forced to the rail. Balla scooped up the pot and now has about 195,000 in chips.
