Matt Alexander
Matt Alexander

Matt Alexander bet 1,500 on a {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop from middle position, and Joe Ford made it 3,000 in the cutoff. Ryan Perez cold-called that from the button, and Alexander came along to see a {k-Spades} turn. He checked and Ford bet 8,000. Perez called, and Alexander put in his last 9,025, which both opponents called. Check-check on the {q-Hearts} river, and Alexander flipped {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} to take the pot with Broadway.

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Matt Vaughan
Matt Vaughan

Matt Vaughan got his last 13,000 or so in preflop with {a-}{a-} but saw an opponent with {k-}{k-} spike a set to eliminate him.

At another table, Nicola Ditrapani, who won a WSOPC ring last year in Hammond, lost about a third of his stack with {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} calling the all in of a player with {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} on a board of {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The river was a {10-Hearts}.

Ramos Picks Off Shove

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

A player shoved all in for about 12,000, and Jason Ramos shipped over that from the cutoff, folding out the blinds.

Ramos: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Ramos wasn't going to escape without a sweat as the flop came {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} but no further help emerged for his opponent.

Bohn Eliminated

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Blake Bohn has fired his last allotted bullet and been eliminated. Down to his last 10,000, he said he shoved from the big blind over a series of limps with the {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Action folded to the small blind, who called for a third of his stack with {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and outdrew the MSPT Team Pro.

One-Outer for Shimelfarb

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Gennady Shimelfarb pushed all in from the big blind for about 7,000 after a player opened for 1,200 in early position, and that player called.

Shimelfarb: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

"Sorry to tell you I folded one of those," a player at the table said of Shimelfarb's fours.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, but Shimelfarb nailed his one-outer on the {4-Clubs} turn. The {q-Hearts} secured his double.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Bohn Down; Morford Out

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Blake Bohn
Blake Bohn

Blake Bohn lost a race with {a-}{k-} against the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} of Ernest Garrett despite pulling ahead on an {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop after the river came a {q-Hearts}. He's on his second bullet so he needs to run his last 9,000 or so up if he wants any hope of a deep run.

At another table, Leon Morford got caught bluffing all in with {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} on a {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board against a player who didn't fold {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.
