2011-12 World Series of Poker Circuit Event - Harrah's Tunica

Carli:

Thompson:

The board ran
and Carli's impressive short-stacked deep run came to an end.
It's been pretty quite as of late; in fact, the most recent hand of any note happened when Dustin Gardner opened for 50,000 from the hijack only to have Houston White three-bet to 140,000 from the big blind. Gardner made the call, but then folded to White's bet of 152,000 on the 

flop.
Don’t miss your chance to qualify for the National Championship. There are still plenty of opportunities to play, including any of the remaining stops on the WSOP Circuit schedule.

Frank Mull went to a flop with Chris Thompson that showed
. Mull moved all in and Thompson insta-called and tabled pocket fours for a flopped full house. Thompson had big slick and needed runner-runner to make a bigger boat. But blanks fell and Mull made his way to the payout desk.
Houston White raised to 40,000 under the gun and had Ray Weaver defend from the big blind. Weaver proceeded to check-call a bet of 50,000 on the 

, and then check-folded to a bet of 100,000 on the
turn.
Kyle Hamlin was eliminated by Dan Blakeman. All the money went in on the river with the board showing
and Hamlin tabled
for a ten-high flush. But Blakeman had bad news for him when he tabled
for a queen-high flush.
Action folded to Houston White in the cutoff and he brought it in for a raise to 35,000. Jacob Bazeley was next to act on the button and he three-bet to 110,000. The blinds got out of the way and White pushed back with a four-bet, making it 200,000 more to go. Bazeley pondered for a bit before announcing all in for about 650,000 more. White made the call, and at first, he was glad he did.
Showdown
| Bazeley | ![]() ![]() |
| White | ![]() ![]() |
White was primed to take down a monster pot, but the 

flop had other plans as it delivered Bazeley two pair. White stood from his chair in disbelief and watched helplessly as the
fell on the turn followed by the
river. Bazeley remained stoic as he raked in the nearly 2-million chip pot.
Action folded to the short-stacked Michael "Carwash" Schneider in the cutoff and he moved all in for 101,000. Frank Mull was next to act on the button and made the call, while both blinds got out of the way.
Showdown
| Mull | ![]() ![]() |
| Carwash | ![]() ![]() |
It was a classic flip, but things looked as if they'd come down in Carwash's favor as neither the 

flop nor
turn helped Mull. However, there was still one card to come and wouldn't you know it, the
spiked to give Mull the win. Carwash was eliminated from the Main Event in 16th place.
