Double For Cabrera

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

After the player in the cutoff raised to 2,500, Jesus Cabrera made it 5,000 to go from the small blind. The cutoff called and the flop came down {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Cabrera checked, only to see his opponent move all in. Cabrera snap-called his last 6,500 and tabled {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. His opponent was drawing dead with {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, making the {10-Spades} turn and {K-Clubs} river meaningless.

Cabrera, meanwhile, found a much needed double up to just less than 25,000.

The Big Stack of Kats

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Stephen Kats
Stephen Kats

As the tables break, players are shuffled about and we had lost track of Stephen Kats. We were worried he may have busted, but things couldn't be further from the truth. As it turns out, Kats is sitting in the far corner of the room. Not only that, he is sitting with what appears to be the biggest stack in the room, approximately 180,000. Needless to say, he is in good shape to make a deep run and add some points to his current total of 82.5.

Pilgrim Sets Sail

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We were looking forward to reporting some big hands involving Dwyte Pilgrim, perhaps the biggest name at the start of the day. Unfortunately, Pilgrim couldn't get much going throughout the day and he has been eliminated from the WSOPC Harrah's Tunica Main Event.

Small Pot for Land

John Land
John Land

John Land raised to 2,400 from early position and was called by the players in the cutoff and big blind. When the flop fell {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}, the big blind checked, Land bet 3,100, and both opponents folded. Land is sitting with around 30,000.

Be-Jewell-ed

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kurt Jewell is sitting with a nice stack of about 120,000. Part of that stack came when Jewell called an opponent's all in on a board of {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Jewell: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The {5-Spades} river was safe for Jewell and he added some chips to his already large stack.
