Greenberg Eliminates Vamplew

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Lawrence Greenberg
Lawrence Greenberg

David Vamplew and Lawrence Greenberg took a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} in a raised pot. Vamplew checked over to Greenberg who fired out a bet of 5,000. Vamplew check-raised all in and Greenberg instantly called.

Vamplew: {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Greenberg: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Greenberg was out in front with top pair but Vamplew was drawing live heading to the turn. Unfortunately for Vamplew, he failed to improve on the turn ({K-Clubs}) or the river ({K-Hearts}). Greenberg scored the elimination and boosted his stack to about 179,000.

Gregg Bossing Stern Around

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We got to the table with 25,000 in the middle and Tony Gregg checking the action over to Dani Stern on a board reading {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{K-Spades}. Stern put out a bet of 9,000 and Gregg check-raised to 25,400. Stern took a moment but eventually called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Gregg led out for what looked to be a little more than 45,000. Stern quickly folded and Gregg took down the pot and finished the hand with 175,000 in chips, well over three times what he started the tournament with. Stern still had an above average stack with 125,000.

Panyak More Than Triples with Aces

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

From under the gun, Mohsin Charania opened with a raise to 3,600. Paul Volpe made the call from middle position, Shaun Deeb called on the button, and then Maxim Panyak reraised all in from the small blind for 8,900. After the player in the big blind folded, Charania reraised to 20,000. Volpe folded, but then Deeb shoved all in. Charania had about 70,000 behind and folded, to leave Panyak and Deeb battling.

Panyak had the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, and Deeb had the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The flop, turn, and river ran out {Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Panyak more than tripled his stack to get back into the mix. Deeb slightly profited on the hand and moved to 145,000 in chips.

A Record-Setting Affair

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller field has just surpassed last year's number of 247 total entries. With 248 in this year's field — and climbing — a new record has been made. Registration will remain open until the start of Day 2, and the chips are definitely flying in the final level of the night. With one reentry allowed per player, short stacks will likely be looking to gamble it up to get some chips or reload for a second bullet.

Boeree Takes a Small One Off Heimiller

Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

We got to the table with 9,000 in the pot and Dan Heimiller betting 4,000 on a board of {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Liv Boeree made the call and the dealer put out the {A-Diamonds} on the river. Both players checked and Heimiller slapped down his hand, {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, in the middle of the table for tens and eights.

Boeree turned over {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for queens and tens to take down the pot.

Leah Doubles Through Peters

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Mike Leah opened for 3,200 in the cutoff, and David Peters made it 7,700 on the button. Leah four-bet to 16,200 after a long tank, and Peters moved all in. Leah called off for 53,800 total.

Leah: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Peters: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Peters' great position quickly turned sour as the {q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop gave Leah two pair. The {6-Spades} and {j-Clubs} mean Peters sent most of his stack to his right.
