If He Only Had a Heart

[user75032]

Matt Stout is building a little bit of steam again after that last double-up. He opened for 15,000 pre-flop and was called in position by James Carroll. Both players played an all-heart flop cautiously, checking it to the turn. There, with the board showing {2-Hearts}

, Stout check-called a bet of 17,000 from Carroll.

The river was the {2-Clubs}

. Stout checked a third time, then called Carroll's 43,000-chip bet. Carroll instantly mucked, with Stout showing down {J-Clubs}

to collect the pot.

Stout Not Eliminated

[user75032]

Christopher Demaci, newly flush with chips, opened a pot from early position for 14,500. Dan Casetta asked for a rough count from Demaci (225,000) before re-raising to 37,500. Action passed to Matt Stout on the button. He moved in for 94,500. Demaci folded but Casetta called.

Stout: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Casetta: {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

"How do you wake up with that hand behind me," said Casetta with a sigh. The dealer spread a {3-Clubs} {7-Spades} {4-Diamonds} flop. "But I do run like god though."

"Nice hand," said Stout. He stood up. The turn and river blanked out, {5-Diamonds} and {3-Diamonds} , allowing Stout's hand to hold.

Stout walked around the table to shake Casetta's hand, confusing everyone. Demaci piped up first. "You do know you won the hand, right?"

Stout looked down at the table. He thought Casetta had tabled two black sevens and had flopped a set. He didn't realize he was up against {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs} . He bounded back to his seat and a new stack of approximately 200,000 chips.

PN presenter Lynn Gilmartin chatted with Stout earlier today about his dispute yesterday with Eric Hershler.

[user75032]

was up against Demaci's {7-Diamonds}

. No luck for Sanchez this time; the board came {k-Spades}

to give Demaci the pot. He doubled up to about 230,000.

David Light Eliminated in 15th Place ($14,350)

[user75032]

David Light held on as long as he possibly could. He was down to 10,500 chips before putting in the 6,000-chip big blind. Matt Stout opened all in from under the gun for 74,000. Everyone passed to light, who put in the rest of his chips with {10-?}

. He was racing Stout's {5-?}

.

As has been going for Stout for the past few hours, the flop came with a ten and no five. This time, however, he managed to spike a five on the turn to overtake Light and eliminate him from the tournament. Those chips didn't boost Stout's stack much though. He's still short with about 90,000 chips.

O'Dwyer Getting Frisky

[user75032]

Steve O'Dwyer may have thought Andrew Lichtenberger was making a "button raise", when he three-bet the small blind to 40,000. Lichtenberger had opened for 11,500 and was in no mood to fold. He called.

Both players checked all the way on a board of {7-Spades}

. O'Dwyer showed down {A-Diamonds}

and wound up chopping with Lichtenberger's {A-Clubs}

.

Randy Dorfman Eliminated in 17th Place ($12,556)

[user75032]

Randy Dorfman picked the wrong time to make a move on Dan Casetta. Dorfman raised to 10,500 pre-flop, with Casetta calling from the big blind. Casetta led into Dorfman for 12,000 on a flop of {10-Diamonds}

. Dorfman raised that bet to 30,000, with Casetta calling.

A big ol' ace hit the turn, {A-Hearts}

. Casetta checked, then snap-called Dorfman's all-in bet. Casetta flopped the joint, {8-Hearts}
