This hand occurred just before the break. A player in late position opened with a raise to 4,800, and action passed to Matt "Allinat420" Stout in the blinds. He scoped out his opponent's remaining stack before opting to call.
Heads up then, the flop rolled out . Stout checked, and his opponent continued out with a bet of 8,400. Without too much delay, Stout check-raised it up to 24,200. A moment later, "All in," came from the other side of the table.
"Sh*t!" yelled Stout as he slid the rest of his chips forward, pot-committed to this hand.
Showdown:
Stout:
Opponent:
The table was giddy over all the action as they all sweated the final two cards. They showed up and respectively, and Stout earns himself a huge double-up. After the chips were stacked, Stout is counted down at just over 110,000.
Players are now returning from their last break of the evening. 40 players are remaining in the field. We will play until 2 a.m. or until 27 players are reached.
Just before the break, an amusing situation happened over at Jason Potter’s table. Matt Stout was trying to get Potter’s attention, but Potter was not responding.
Stout: “Jay.”
No response.
Stout: “Jason.”
No response.
Stout: “Joseph.”
No response.
Stout: “Hey a**hole.”
Potter then looks around his chair, takes off his earphones, and says, “Ya.”
The table erupts in laughter.
Stout: “Oh. THAT’S what you respond to? I’ve been calling you several times, and you answer to “Hey a**hole.”
Potter smirked and said, “Did you need something?”
Stout: “Ya, I did. However, the entertainment value of this is MUCH more important than what I needed you for.”
With the last elimination, we are down to our last 36 players. Four tables of nine remain, and we will play on for another hour or until we lose nine more players.
Over at the table with Jason Potter, Sabyl Landrum, Kathy Liebert, and Matt Stout, the conversation at the beginning of the level centered on the amount of play in this event.
Liebert stated that there is plenty of play in the beginning, but later on there isn't as much room to play. Landrum stated that this seemed to be the tendency with many of the events, not just at this circuit event, but at other WSOP-C events as well.
Sabyl Landrum has been hovering a bit under average most of the day, and she has been all in several times in the past level or three. We caught up with her again as she open-shoved all in from middle position for just about 35,000. Action folded to Matt "Allinat420" Stout, and he made the call with his big stack, putting the charming Landrum at risk of elimination.
Showdown:
Landrum:
Stout:
The board failed to improve Landrum, and she has been eliminated here close to the end of Day One.
