Vincent Procopio's Bad Beat

Vincent Procopio shared the story behind his bustout hand, and it was painful. His opponent raised to about 7,000, Procopio reraised to 21,000, and his opponent was thinking about laying it down. Procopio said, "You don't have to fold, but if you're playing, you might as well push, because all the chips are going in eventually."

His opponent moved all in with A-K offsuit, and Procopio called with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. It was a likely chop situation, but two diamonds flopped, and two more on the turn and the river gave Procopio's opponent a flush.

Just like that, Procopio's WPT World Championship came to an end.

All in One Room

The final table in the Bellagio Poker Room has just broken. All of the remaining players are now in the Fontana Room, which means despite what the tournament board says, we are down to 240 players and BJ has won yet another prop bet.

BeL0WaB0Ve Doubles UP

Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul raised to 6,000. Another player behind re-raised forcing Saul all-in. Saul called and turned over TT against his opponent's AQ. The board was a blank for both players and Saul doubled up to 63,000.

Fold Fold Whew!

Three players see the flop of {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{J-Spades}. The lead player with a monster stack moves all-in and both, repeat both of the other players lay down their hands. Because they did not release their hands they were able to show {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The winning hand was mucked with a big sigh of relief.

Different Games

With less than an hour to go on Day Two there is quite a bit of laughter coming from several tables. At the same time, calls for the floor are up at other tables, where several disagreements have surfaced. There have been several calls for the clock and in general the players are either getting a bit weary or just a bit loopy.
