Cada a Non-Believer

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Joe Cada
Joe Cada

Joe Cada started things off with a raise to 400 from early position and Rhynie Campbell called from the button. The two would check the flop of {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} and the dealer put out the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Cada checked again and Campbell put out a bet of 750 that Cada called.

The river was the {A-Hearts} and both players quickly checked. Cada turned over {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Campbell mucked to give the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion the pot.

Baumstein's Turn Lead Takes it Down

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We got to the table with 2,600 in the pot already and the board showing {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}. There was a bet of 825 in front of Scott Baumstein acting out of the small blind and he was facing a bet of 2,500 from Donald Rae. Baumstein made the call and the dealer put out the {A-Diamonds} on the turn.

Baumstein thought for a moment before putting out a bet of 4,150. Rae asked for a count and then decided against seeing the river card as he handed his cards to the dealer.

Zaki Folds to Massey

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

In the cutoff, Justin Zaki check-called 725 from Aaron Massey on the {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts} flop, but Zaki came out betting with 2,100 on the {5-Hearts} turn. Zaki slowed down on the {3-Clubs} river, and Massey dropped 3,125 into the pot. Zaki folded fairly quickly, and Massey showed him {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for top two.

Massey is fresh off of a 10th place finish in the LAPT event here earlier today, when he cashed for $22,760. He wasted no time hopping right over to the PCA Main Event.

"Big Pair" For Mizrachi

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a board of {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, small blind Robert Mizrachi check-called 4,500 from an opponent on the button. On the {10-Clubs} river, Mizrachi checked again and his opponent bet 12,000. Mizrachi called fairly quickly, and his opponent's cards found the muck with quickness.

"Do I have to show?" Mizrachi asked, sliding his cards to the dealer face down.

"You had a pair right?" someone said.

"Big pair," Mizrachi replied, grabbing his cards and flashing {a-}{a-} before the dealer could muck them.
