Cartwright KO's the Master

Kyle Cartwright knocked out the master.
Kyle Cartwright knocked out the master.

Men "The Master" Nguyen opened from the cutoff to 6,500 and Kyle Cartwright bumped it up to 18,500 from the big blind. The flop came {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and Cartwright announced all in fairly quickly. Nguyen snap-called and Cartwright knew his hand before it was tabled.

"Do you have queen ten?" Cartwright asked.

Nguyen indeed tabled {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and Cartwright turned over {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}. The turn brought an insignificant {4-Hearts} but river was Yahtzee! for Cartwright. An {A-Spades} paired the board, giving Cartwright a full house and sending Nguyen towards the door with a bitter expression on his face.

Cristobal Has Risen

Cristobal Romano continues to push his way to the top pf the chip count list with good cards and aggressive play.

He's raising more than his fair share of pots, so much so that some at the table are beginning to think twice before folding to his consistent aggression.

That was the case in a hand moments ago, when Romano made it 10k to go from early position and the small blind tanked a good while before folding.

The big blind followed suit and Romano flashed {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, just to let everyone know he's running as well as he's playing.

Hero To Zero

Hey La, Hey La, your chip stacks out.
Hey La, Hey La, your chip stacks out.

Fortunes can change fast in the poker business and the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event is no different.

Chris Tiller came into play today with a massive stack and a healthy chip lead, he's now sitting on less than 50k and barely hanging on.

In the meantime, La Sengphet has gone from second in chips to a spot on the rail.

It happens that fast folks.

The Grass Is Always Greener

Chico, Texas native Brian Green appears to be the chip leader now with the field whittled down under 270.

He told PokerNews it`s really been a steady climb, 20k or 30k at a time throughout, with the biggest pot coming when he flopped top pair jacks and had an all-in opponent outkicked for 80k.

"No big double-ups or anything," he said.

Berry Johnston Crippled

Berry Johnston almost out.
Berry Johnston almost out.

The 1986 WSOP Main Event Champion Berry Johnston has been crippled and is left with less than 10,000. His opponent moved all in holding {A-Spades} {J-Spades} and Johnston called with {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. The board ran {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Johnston started to leave the table believing he was eliminated.

Money In The Bank

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Vedes Vanquished

The WSOPC Choctaw Main Event is over for Tommy Vedes.

When one opponent shoved over his opening raise for the second hand in a row, Vedes figured {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} was good enough to make a call for his tournament life with.

It wasn't, his opponent held kings and the kings held.
