Marshall Hits the River

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Cary Marshall opened to 3,000 from UTG+1 and Andrew Rothfolk called from the next seat over. A third player tagged along and the three saw the flop come {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. All three checked and the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn. Marshall checked again and Rothfolk led for 4,200. The third player called and Marshall stuck around as well.

The {Q-Hearts} completed the board and all three checked once more. Marshall rolled over {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for rivered queens and his two opponents threw their hands at the muck, awarding Marshall the pot.

While Rothfolk lost this hand, he has still managed to have a choke hold on the day and has built his stack up to about 210,000 total.

Moneymaker Doubles

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We got to the table to find 2003 WSOP Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker all in and at risk for his last 20,200 before the flop against Sean Small. Moneymaker was holding {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and was looking for help against Small's {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Moneymaker found exactly the help that he needed when he paired his seven on the {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. He now just needed to dodge a ten on the coming streets in order to secure his double up. The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, allowing him to bring back his chips and then some. He's currently sitting on about 42,000.

Conrad Gone

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We got to the table just in time to catch the aftermath of Chris Conrad's final hand in the tournament. He was all in before the flop with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Another short-stacked player was also all in with {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. Both of those players were crushed by a third players {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

Conrad failed to improve and he was eliminated from play. Fortunately for Conrad, he can still revel in the fact that he won his first WSOP Circuit ring last night as well as over $23,000 in prize money.
