Table Playing Back at the Bully

Level 14 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Adam Hui might be opening a tad more than his fair share of pots. He raised pre-flop to 3,500 from the hijack. Action passed to the big blind, who moved all in for 41,200, about 26 big blinds. Hui asked for a count, pursed his lips, then folded after about 30 seconds. The big blind happily filpped open {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

"I knew that was coming!" said someone else at the table with a laugh.

Boyapati Busts Hamby

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Asheesh Boyapati just put a hurtin' on Jared Hamby, eliminating him from the tournament. All of the money went in preflop between the two with Boyapati holding two kings to Hamby's {A-}{Q-}. No help came for Hamby and he was eliminated while Boyapati climbed to 70,000.

Updated Chip Counts

Santiago Barrels through 200K

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

Alex Santiago has (we are told) been steadily accumulating chips all day with relentless three-betting and some well-timed cards. He just claimed another victim after three-betting from the small blind. Santiago's opponent, a player he had tangled with several times, opted to four-bet shove with pocket 6s for about 45,000. Santiago snap-called with pocket aces, which held up to vault Santiago to 210,000 in chips.

Land Taken

Level 13 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

John Land has just been eliminated. He was super short and got the last of his chips in with the {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} only to run into two aces. There was no help for Land and he has been eliminated from the tournament.

Hayden Busto

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On one of the last hands of the level, Melissa Hayden three-bet all in for 20,300 after the under-the-gun player opened to 2,800 and was flat-called by a player in middle position. The under-the-gun player thought for a while but folded. Not so the middle-position player.

"I have a little gambling blood in me," he said. "I call." His {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} was a pre-flop underdog to Hayden's {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, but flopped two pair, {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. It was all over for Hayden by the {10-Hearts} turn.
