Ramage Survives

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Grayson Ramage moved all in for his remaining 5,700 from under the gun and found action from Byron Kaverman in the big blind, who was recently moved to his table.

Ramage: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Kaverman: {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Spades} to keep Ramage afloat in the tournament with about 12,500. Kaverman is still comfortable with about 80,000 in his stack.

Kaverman Knocks Out Vedes

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Tommy Vedes
Tommy Vedes

Byron Kaverman came in raising to 1,350, and Tommy Vedes three-bet shoved for 11,800 total. Kaverman made the call with {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs}, and Vedes' {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} was a favorite to keep him around.

The board was not Vedes' favorite at all, though. It came {8-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, and his day is done with 39 players left.

More Chip Counts

Brecher Drags a Monster, Failla Baffled

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Steve Brecher (on Day 1)
Steve Brecher (on Day 1)

A player in early position opened the pot with a raise, and James Arruebarreena made the call next door. Action came to Steve Brecher (who happened to have {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}), and he spent some time considering his play. As he was thinking, though, Carl Sheddan shoved all in for about 40,000 out of turn. The dealer put the action back on Brecher, and he decided to make a reraise of his own. Now with an option to take them back, Sheddan still stuck all his chips in the middle, and Arruebarreena called off the majority of his own stack as well. He tabled the unfortunate {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}, and Sheddan's {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} was far overmatched.

The board ran out {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, and Brecher takes the big pot to skyrocket into contention for the chip lead. His next-door neighbor, Will Failla, was thoroughly baffled. First, he took on Brecher for not flatting once Sheddan acted out of turn. If Brecher had, the action would not have changed, and Sheddan's chips would have had to stay in. But he stuck them in anyways, and that peeved Failla too. Someone mentioned they thought Brecher might be bluffing.

"Bluffing?!" Failla almost fell out of his chair. "He's older than dirt! He doesn't bluff, buddy."

Brecher does, on occasion, bluff. But not that time. Those aces shoot Brecher all the way up to 124,000.

A Few Chip Counts

Aguiar Loses Flip

Kido Pham started the action with a raise to 2,000 from early position. Jon Aguiar called on the button and from the small blind, Kenny Milam three-bet to 5,000. Pham called, but Aguiar responded with an all-in shove. Milam called all in for a bit less than 20,000, Pham folded, and it was off to the races.

Aguiar: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Milam: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Hearts} as Milam's queens held for the the double up.
