Moneymaker Doubles Opponent

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught up to see a player move all in against Chris Moneymaker before the flop. While Moneymaker came to a decision, he lamented about previously folding kings. Eventually he decided to call only to find that kings was the exact hand he was up against.

Moneymaker: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The board fell down {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Moneymaker was unable to improve his hand. He was forced to ship a solid chunk of his stack over to his opponent and is now hovering right around the starting stack of 20,000.

Bazeley Crippled

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We got to the table in time to see a player all in and at risk before the flop against Jacob Bazeley. Bazeley held {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} but was behind his opponent's {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Bazeley was forced to ship a majority of his stack over to his opponent, leaving himself with only about 8,000 behind.

Massey Applying Pressure

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Aaron Massey was heads up in a pot against a single opponent. The flop read {2-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Massey checked. His opponent fired out 7,000 and Massey tank-called.

Fourth street brought a third heart in the form of the {10-Hearts}. Both players checked it to see the board finish off with the {J-Clubs}. Massey announced all in for over 15,000 and his opponent let go. Massey is now sitting on about 38,500.

Big Stack and a Bust Out

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Soon after the players returned from dinner, we caught WSOP Circuit champion Tripp Kirk exiting the tournament area. We assume that he will be back to try his chances again tomorrow.

On the other side of the room, we spied the stack of Andrew Rothfolk, which has been built to one of the biggest in the room. He's currently sitting with about 106,000 in chips.
