Tryba Shoots Down an Opponent

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chris Tryba
Chris Tryba

Chris Tryba had opened in early position and was three-bet to 10,600 by the small blind. He put forward a stack of T5,000 chips to put his opponent all in for his last 30,000 or so. The player thought for about a minute and then committed his remaining chips.

Small Blind: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Chris Tryba: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

A few players at the table correctly chimed in with predictions of Tryba's hand prior to cards being shown and the small blind saw he was in bad shape. The dealer then brought a flop of {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} to give the small blind one of the two queens he needed, resulting in more remark from the table. Tryba didn't flinch and the turn came {a-Diamonds} to put him back out in front, causing even more ambient excitement and leaving the small blind with one chance at a one-outer. It did not come as the river fell {k-Clubs} and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Tryba calmly tapped the table, still sitting stoically for another second before calmly reaching to his can of Red Bull to take a sip before collecting the chips that were shipped his way.

Pence Sends Mosier To the Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Caleb Pence had opened under the gun and received four calls, one of which was from Rickey Mosier in the small blind. The flop came {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and action checked to Pence, who made a continuation-bet of 6,500. Mosier check-raised all in and Pence called.

"I'm behind," said Mosier, tabling {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Pence turned over {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The turn {8-Diamonds} and river {j-Hearts} completed the runout and left Mosier behind with no further cards to come.

"Yep," he added as the two exchanged pleasantries and Mosier made his way from the tournament area. Meanwhile, Pence now finds himself over 100,000 after the pot.

Cervantes Doubles With Better Draw

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jorge Cervantes limped in from middle position and was raised to 3,500 by the hijack. ohnny Ambrosio called from the big blind, as did Cervantes, and the three saw the flop come {4-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}. Ambrosio led out with a bet of 6,000 and Cervantes went all in for 9,100. The hijack folded and Ambrosio called.

Jorge Cervantes: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Johnny Ambrosio: {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Both players had unpaired flush draws and the turn {9-Diamonds} and river {9-Hearts} changed nothing other than giving each player a pair of nines. Cervantes' ace scored him the double and he now finds himself back over a starting stack.

Meyer Cracks 200K

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Caleb Meyer
Caleb Meyer

A player limped in from early position and Caleb Meyer limped in behind from the hijack. Svetlana Martie was on the button and also limped behind before the small blind completed and Mitch Lekarczyk checked his option in the big blind.

Action went five ways to a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and the early-position limper bet 4,500 once action checked to him. Only Meyer called to take action heads up to the turn {6-Spades}, where the early-position player bet another 8,500. Meyer called once more.

The dealer burned and turned the river {8-Clubs} and the early-position palyer fired out another 12,500. Meyer raised him all in and the player called.

Early Position: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Caleb Meyer: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The early-position player got his stack in with the second nuts only to have it up against the one hand that could beat him, resulting in his elimination and bringing Meyer over 200,000 as Level 11 comes to a close.

Field Breaks 300

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The tournament clock displays 306 entries early in Level 11 and a little over one hour is still left in the registration period. Action is wild and that number is sure to grow as a reflection of the chips flying across the room.
