Jejelowo Rises to the Top

Level 18 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
AJ Jejelowo
AJ Jejelowo

Under the gun, Gary Friedlander opened to 11,500, and AJ Jejelowo came along with a call from the cutoff seat.

The flop came {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}, and Jejelowo called another bet of 16,500 to see the {7-Clubs} on the turn. Friedlander showed down now with a check, and he called 25,000 from Jejelowo. On the {5-Spades} river, Jejelowo's final bet of 70,000 was called as well, and we'd never get to see Friedlander's cards. The {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} was shown up by Jejelowo, and it was good enough to take down the pot.

With that exchange, Jejelowo has taken over the chip lead with 490,000 to Friedlander's 460,000.

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

That's another level down with not much action and no eliminations. That's to be expected with the deep stacks, though, and we'll be right back with some counts to show you just how deep they are. The players return in 15 minutes, and we'll be coloring up those pesky black T100 chips in the meantime.

Patel One Foot Out the Door

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Kunal Patel
Kunal Patel

Under the gun, Gary Friedlander opened to 8,000, and Kunal Patel three-bet shoved for 75,600 on the button. The action came to Shannon Shorr, and he too shoved, all in for about 140,000 from the big blind. "I'm out," Friedlander said, and Patel was at risk as the cards were tabled.

Showdown
Patel: {K-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Shorr: {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}

"Good luck," Shorr said, but he may want to swallow those words now. The dealer ripped off a {J-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} flop, and Patel slid a foot out from under the table and began to stand up. Halfway through his motion, the {10-Hearts} hit the turn, and Patel froze as he'd picked up eight outs to the double. He was still frozen in place as the {A-Clubs} filled out the board, and he dropped right back down into his chair after finding that lucky run-out.

Shorr is a bit disappointed as he gives away more than half his stack, dropping to 66,200 while Patel doubles to 155,100.

Updated Chip Counts

The hardest stack to count is that of Harry Cullen, and we're not the only ones who noticed. A moment ago, Matt Waxman asked, "After this hand, could you stack your chips in twenties?" Cullen made a comment about it taking up too much space, and Waxman tried again. "Forties?" Cullen again refused, and Waxman was getting a little frustrated. "It's kind of hard to count." Cullen made another comment, and Waxman finished up, "I understand. Because it's really difficult to stack them in twenties, I know." #sarcasm

That was the end of the issue at the time, but we now see a floorman stacking Cullen's chips for him. They're in twenty-fives.

More For Shorr

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

From the cutoff seat, Shannon Shorr opened to 7,000, and Gary Friedlander three-bet to 19,200 from the button. When it came back to Shorr, he shoved for an additional 79,700, and Friedlander tanked and folded to slip back to a still-quite-healthy 545,000.

Shorr looks like he's going to shove his way back into contention here. That last pot drags him up to 125,000.

Jejewolo Working His Stack

Level 17 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
AJ Jejelowo
AJ Jejelowo

First in from the cutoff seat, AJ Jejelowo opened to 7,000, and he called a 19,000-chip three-bet from Kunal Patel.

Heads-up, the {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} flop drew checks from both players, and Jejelowo led out with 30,000 on the {5-Hearts} turn. Patel called, and the {10-Clubs} river went check-check again.

Jejelowo turned up {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}, and eights and sevens earn him the pot to move his stack to 310,000.

Patel is getting a bit short now with 102,000 chips left.
