We're into the antes here with Level 5 with the board showing 338 registered players thus far.
We have lost our only Full Tilt Red Pro as "Miami" John Cernuto was eliminated at the beginning of Level 5.
As told to us by Shawn Daniels, he and Cernuto saw a flop of . First to act was Daniels and he bet, but Cernuto put in a small raise. Daniels called and when a hit the turn, all of the chips made it to the middle. Cernuto had for top set, but Daniels had a turned a straight with . The river brought an and ended Cernuto's tournament.
Daniels is up to about 43,000.
We missed the preflop action, but it must have been a three-bet pot because there were more than 5,000 chips piled in the middle as three players headed off to the community cards.
The flop came out , and the table checked around to Todd Terry. He put out a bet of 3,100, and the unknown gentleman in the under the gun called. Amnon Filippi ducked out from the middle seat, and the other two went heads up the rest of the way.
They check-checked through the turn and river, and it was showdown time. "I got an eight," said the out-of-position gentleman. Terry sunk in his chair and waited to see the cards, but it took several long seconds before his opponent finally slapped his out onto the table. Terry's cards hit the muck, and he checked on the status of his chip stack which has slipped back down under 31,000 now.
Jonathan Wein was kind enough to fill us in on the hand that's taken most of his chip stack. It was a five-way limped pot that did the damage, Wein and four others checking through the flop. On the turn, a middle-aged gentleman led out for 550, and Wein's raise to 1,350 was enough to fold the rest of the table. His opponent wasn't going anywhere, however, sticking in another raise to 4,300 total. Wein made it 10,000 straight, and his opponent moved all in for just about 13,000 total to put himself at risk.
Wein showed up his for the turned boat, but it was second best. The at-risk player's had Wein pipped, and a blank on the river has given him a big double up. He's up close to 30,000 now, while Wein has been knocked back down around 7,000.
We arrived at the table and found four to a flop of with about 2,400 in the middle.
The first player to act bet 1,700 and Dwyte Pilgrim min-raised to 3,400. After the next player folded, Chris Reslock shoved for about 25,000. The original bettor gave it up and Pilgrim went into the tank.
"You're the craziest player in the room," said Pilgirm to Reslock. After about a minute, Pilgrim dropped his remaining 17,000-ish into the pot and tabled . Reslock was in trouble with , needing a spade. It did not come as the turn and river secured the double for Pilgrim.
"If I didn't know you, I'd have folded," added Pilgirm while stacking his chips.
Reslock: Down to roughly 4,800
Pilgrim: Up to about 41,000
There was about 5,000 chips in the pot when we walked up to the turn on a board showing . It was heads up, and the player first to act bet 2,800. Adam Lippert tanked for a couple minutes before calling, and that led them to the river. The bettor had just 4,550 chips left, and he stuck them all in to put himself at risk. Lippert would spend another few minutes soaking. He had just 10,825 chips left in his stack, so the decision represented a significant one. Finally, and reluctantly, Lippert folded, but not before wagging his finger at his opponent and warning, "I'm going to remember this hand."
