Ante: 25

First Break

Chip Update

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

As Level 2 comes to a close, here is an update on some of the players, and several more notable people to add to the counts.

Multiway Flop for Ladouceur

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

A preflop raise to 400 saw five players go to a flop of {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, including Marc-Andre Ladouceur.

Ladouceur was the bettor on the flop, making it 700, and two opponents came along. The turn came {j-Spades} and all three players checked. The dealer flipped over {2-Hearts} for the river and Ladouceur bet 2,000, getting a call from one opponent.

Ladouceur turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and his opponent smirked, sliding his cards in the muck.

Don't Get Greedy

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Eric Afriat was in a tough decision after he bet 1,500 on the river and was faced with a raise to 5,100. The board was reading {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and he took a minute deciding his action.

Ultimately, Afriat folded his hand, but then he and his opponent began discussing the merits of the river raise.

"It was for value," his opponent explained. "I think there are a few worse hands that call, but I wanted to see if you'd shove."

"Why not just call? You can't be greedy in this game," Afriat advised. "That's when bad things happen."

Flushy Board Gets Duhamel Out

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

The action opened with a raise to 525 preflop and no less than five players called, including Jonathan Duhamel and Cate Hall. The dealer spread {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} on the table.

Duhamel was the first to put money in postflop. He bet 1,600 and only one opponent was interested in continuing, and he raised to 3,500. Duhamel called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and Duhamel checked. His opponent bet 8,000 and Duhamel thought for a few moments before reluctantly folding.

Hall is a new addition to the field here today, as is Darryll Fish. Eric Afriat is here for another shot too.

Level 1 Entries

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

As the first level of the day comes to a close, there are already 154 entries to Day 1b. With late registration open until the end of the dinner break after Level 6, that number should still climb significantly.

A Straight on the Board

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

A bet of 1,500 was on the table and Vince Van Patten made the call with the board reading {j-}{k-}{q-}{a-}. The river card was {10-} and players chuckled as the straight hit the table.

Van Patten's opponent shrugged, gestured at the board, and checked. Van Patten jokingly said, "all in" as he turned over his cards. He held {k-}{j-} and his opponent had {j-}{4-}.
