We didn't catch the action, but we just chatted with Robert Castoire, winner of the 2011 WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event, and he has been eliminated. He couldn't catch a break and said it was a miserable day of poker
2011-12 World Series of Poker Circuit - Harveys Lake Tahoe
The field has been sent on their first break of the day following the first three levels of play.
On the last hand of the last level, we watched JC Tran drag himself another nice pot.
It began with him opening the pot to 375 in middle position, and the big blind defended to see a flop. It came
, and the big blind check-called 400. He check-called another 1,100 after the
turn, and another 3,100 behind the river
.
Tran flashed the
, then showed his
. His opponent slapped his
face-up onto the felt, but his second-best hand sends another pot to Tran.
We'll count him down after the break.
Level: 4
Blinds: 100/200
Ante: 0
Cards are back in the air following the break, albeit they might be a little greasy due to the complimentary pizza that Harvey's provided.
A player in early position raised to 700, and Stan Quinn defended his big blind to see a heads-up flop.
It came
, and it went check-check to the
turn. Quinn led out with 900 now, and his opponent promptly raised to 2,125. Quinn called, and he checked the
river. His opponent bet 2,500, Quinn check-raised to 7,500, and his opponent shoved for about 18,000 total. Quinn called with
, and his opponent mucked and left the table, out of chips.
With that little gift, the defending champion has shot himself to the top of the counts with about 47,000.
Annie LePage and Matt Weber were locked up in a hand together with the flop showing
. Weber bet out 650 and LePage raised to 1,650. Weber re-checked his cards and moved all in for about 6,700 more. LePage called and the hands were tabled.
LePage:

Weber:

The turn was Yahtzee! for Weber when it came
and filled his flush. The
river didn't help anything and LePage sent a large portion of her chips to Weber.

JC Tran has got to be loving his table draw today. On a board reading
his opponent put out a bet of 2,400 on the river. Tran called and his opponent let out a heavy sigh and tabled
and said "You got it."
Tran tabled
and drug another pot, pushing his stack north of 40,000.
