Stocz Drops the Ball, Carroll Begins to Rise and Levy Runs Into Aces

Levy Runs Into Aces3:48pm

With about 7,000 in the pot and the board reading {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, Adam Levy was faced with a bet of 4,000 from his opponent. After a little while in the tank Levy called, mucking when his opponent tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Levy fell to about 14,000.

Carroll Climbing3:53pm

Yevgeniy Timoshenko opened to 500 under the gun and next to act James Carroll made it 1,350 to go. Jonathan Tamayo called from Carroll’s immediate left and action folded around to Timoshenko, calling as well.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts} and all three players checked. Timoshenko bet 2,400 when the {6-Clubs} hit the turn and only Carroll called. The river was the {K-Clubs} and both checked. Carroll tabled {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, good enough to win the pot and up his stack to about 92,000.

Lee Runner-Runners Bowker to the Rail - 3:57pm

Bernard Lee and Kyle Bowker went to war on a flop of {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Bowker bet 1,200 and Lee raised to 3,125. A re-raise from Bowker followed along with a shove from Lee, with the much bigger stack. Bowker called all in with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, having Lee’s {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} destroyed. However, the turn and river ran out a miraculous {6-Clubs} and {3-Spades} to clinch the hand for Lee, upping his stack to 56,000 and sending Bowker to the rail.

Stocz Misclicks? - 4:08 PM

Sorel Mizzi opened to 450 from middle position, and Charles Wiper three-bet to 1,150. Eric Stocz cold-called in the big blind, and Mizzi called the extra as well to go three ways to the flop.

It came {Q-} {K-} {Q-}, and Stocz led out with a big overbet of 10,000. Mizzi folded quickly, but Wiper wasn't going anywhere. He moved all in, and Stocz, with just 3,500 left, was forced to fold his {4-} {6-}. Wiper's {K-} {K-} had flopped a full house, and Stocz claimed that he meant to bet 2,000 instead of 10,000.

Either way, the last of Stocz chips went into a pot just a couple hands later, and he was unable to survive his all in, exiting here early on Day 1.

Mercier Three-Bets Preflop, Folds On River - 4:20 PM

From under the gun, a player raised to 600. Jason Mercier was in the next seat and reraised to 1,750. Action folded back around to the original preflop raiser and he made the call.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and the first player checked. Mercier didn't bet, tapping the table behind before the dealer placed the {9-Diamonds} out on the turn. Both players checked again.

The river card was the {3-Spades} and the first player paused for a moment. He then fired out 2,100. Mercier gave one last check back at his hand before tossing it into the muck, relinquishing the pot.
