Josh Brikis spent most of today fighting for a WSOPC ring in the $1,000 Turbo event. The field returned with 14 players and Brikis advanced to heads up. He was deep into his heads up match when we broke for dinner and were sad to find he finished in 2nd place when we returned.
He took a bit of a breather and has just now joined the Main Event.
A player opened to 375 in early position, a second player flatted, and Amanda Musumeci three-bet to 1,100. Both the original raiser and the caller came along for the ride, and the dealer fanned . The action checked to Musumeci who continued for 1,600. The original raiser folded, and the player in the middle raised to 4,600.
Musumeci moved all in for 15,600, and her opponent folded two queens face up.
A couple of familiar faces have recently popped up here at Caesars Atlantic City, including John Andress (who finished 2nd in this event last year), Al Riccobono, and Russell Crane.
Mike Leah fired two bullets and both missed the mark.
We caught Mike Leah's bustout hand, he was crippled from a previous hand and stuck it in holding . He was called by an opponent holding . Leah never caught up and was eliminated.
"This hand doesn't matter if you didn't catch the hand before," Leah told Pokernews. He was in the big blind and had seven limpers enter the pot in front of him. He looked down to find and raised, only to have a limper re-raise him. Leah put in another raise to 5,300 and he got a call. The flop came and his opponent called his shove holding pocket tens for a flopped set.
