Rex Clinkscales is the current leader of the overall WSOP Circuit board, sitting on 245 points thanks to his 12 cashes. He is looking to add to that point total today, but it hasn't been the best day for him. Clinkscales quickly busted out of Day 1a earlier today, and after buying in late tonight, he is already down to 13,000. He will need to turn that around quickly if he wants to go for that 13th cash.
Hoa Nguyen was just now pushing all in on fourth street with the board showing and getting a caller in his lone opponent. Nguyen turned over for a straight, while his opponent had for a flush draw.
The river brought the , and Nguyen doubled back up nearly twice the starting stack.
There seems to be an interesting case of "betting way more then the pot" going around in the room. We already told you about Kyle Bowker busting after his opponent bet 13,000 on the river with 2,000 in the pot, and we just saw a similar bet be made on Nick Frangos
This time, Frangos raised to 550 preflop, and found a call from the hijack and the big blind. The flop came down , and the big blind checked to Frangos, who fired out 625. The hijack didn't take long to announce "raise" and threw out a grey T5,000 chip. The big blind quickly folded, and Frangos flashed a confused look at his opponent, before folding after 30 seconds of thought.
We came on a hand with the board showing and all of Michael Lipman's chips in the middle. Lipman had for a set, but his opponent, Kirk Shelmerdine, had for the winning straight, and Lipman has been eliminated.
What started out as an average pot turned into an absolute monster pot on the river. Kyle Bowker was heads up with his opponent on a board that read . Here's what we saw when we got to the table. There was about 1,600 in the middle, Bowker had bet out 400, and his opponent had moved all in....for 13,000!
Bowker was clearly confused by the decision, and was softly talking to himself throughout the tank. Eventually, he put the rest of his 9,000 into the middle, and his opponent tabled for a full house. Bowker shook his head, mucked his cards, and headed to the rail.
There will be no fourth straight WSOP-C Caesars Atlantic City Main Event final table for Roland Israelashvili, as his second attempt today has met a swift end halfway through Level 3.
In Israelashvili's last hand, a player limped from middle position, another raised from the cutoff, then Israelashvili pushed all in from the button. The blinds and limper folded, and Israelashvili's lone opponent quickly called, turning over . "I'll take it," said Israelashvili as he tabled his .
The community cards came jack-high — — and Israelashvili wished everyone good luck before heading out the door.
We haven't seen any hands that have helped cause the damage, but we noticed that Cherish Andrews's stack has taken quite a hit. She started with 20,000, and before the first break, she is down to 7,000. She still has plenty of time to turn it around however, as she still has almost 50 big blinds.
