"What Did You Limp With?"

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Three players limped in before Francis Margaglione, who recently earned the largest score of his career at the WPT Lucky Hearts Poker Open in Hollywood for $293,510, raised to 1,100 from the small blind, Only Jeffrey Silverstein made the call in middle position.

Margagilione bet 1,000 on the {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop, and Silverstein raised to 2,000. Margagilione called.

"What did you limp with?" Margagilione asked Silverstein while shuffling his cards in his hand. Margagilione folded after a few more seconds, and Silverstein smirked, then revealed {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}.

"I knew you limped with something strong!" Margagilione said with a smile.

David Coughlin raised to 400 from the hijack, and the cutoff made the call, as did Howard Mash in the small blind. Trung Tran three-bet to 2,500 from the big blind, and Coughlin, the cutoff, and Mash all called.

Mash checked the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop to Tran, who bet 2,000. Coughlin and the cutoff called, while Mash folded.

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

While our live updates this weekend are focused on the $600 Main Event, this tournament is actually the culmination of a week's worth of tournaments.

It all started earlier in the week with Event #1: $250 Super Stack NLH (Re-Entry), a tournament that easily surpassed its $25,000 guarantee as 376 runners generated a $77,080 prize pool. The top 49 players got paid a minimum of $366 and some of those walking away with a cash were Joe Duchman (10th - $1,341), Isolda White (20th - $771), and Scott Baumstein (26th - $540), just to name a few.

After Mark Cannon exited in third place for $7,194, the final two players ended the tournament with an even chop. Lisa Teebagy finished as runner-up while David Alberston, who had the chip lead, claimed the title and RGPS championship ring.

Wadlow Gets an Early Morning Double

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Michael Wadlow had just finished gathering up the remnants of a big double-up in the opening level, and Vito DiStefano was kind enough to share details of Wadlow's good fortune.

With a pot of 6,000 already built up and a {10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} board on the felt, Wadlow checked from the small blind, and his opponent in the cutoff bet 5,200. Wadlow jammed for 14,800 and the cutoff called.

Michael Wadlow: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Wadlow's overpair held against the top-top of his opponent when a harmless {j-Hearts} plunked off on the river, and Wadlow doubled up before the end of the opening level.
