Losing Like the Woolf

Dustin "Neverwin" Woolf limps in the small blind and Jason DeWitt raises to 24,000 in the big blind. Neverwin calls.

The flop is {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and both check.

The turn is the {10-Diamonds} and Neverwin checks. Jason bets 35,000 and Neverwin calls.

The river is the {A-Spades} and Neverwin checks. Jason bets 65,000 and Neverwin calls. Jason shows {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} and takes it. He's got 530,000 while Neverwin drops to 255,000.

Good Times

While chips are not exactly flying around, both tables are having fun and finding things to laugh about during the slow play.

Whole Lotta Nothin'

The usual effect of a nice buffet dinner is some crazy post-dinner play, but that hasn't happened here in the final 12. The money jumps start to become pretty significant from here on out, and nobody wants to go out next.

Losing to Schertz

Thomas Koral raises to 25,000 and and Kyle Schertz calls.

The flop is {2-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Schertz checks. Koral bets 22,000 and Schertz calls.

The turn is the {3-Hearts} and both check. The river is the {7-Spades} and Schertz leads out for 26,000. Koral folds. Schertz shows {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for just a pair of fours, but it's good enough.

Stokes the Oven

Gary Leibovitz raises to 8,000 and Shane Stokes reraises all in for 87,000 total. Gary calls with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Shane shows {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

The door card is not kind, as the board runs out {10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Gary is knocked down to 500,000 and Shane doubles up to 192,000.

Jason Lights Fire Under MrSmokey

Jason DeWitt limps in and Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis calls. Gary Leibovitz checks his option.

The flop is {3-Spades}{A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and all three check. The turn is {9-Hearts} and all three check again. The river is {9-Clubs} and Steve bets 12,000. Gary folds and Jason calls.

Jason: {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Steve: {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Jason takes it and moves up to 450,000 while Steve is still ahead of him with 455,000.
