The Captain Must Have a Plan

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We found "The Captain" Tom Franklin with a fresh stack entering the Day 1a flight in either the 7th or 8th level. His choice seems a bit odd because he could have easily joined the 1b flight and not started at a chip disadvantage.

Whatever his reasoning is, it's based off of years of experience.

Bowen's Luck Runs Out

Kat Bowen had been pretty short stacked for most of the afternoon. She was all in preflop with two red eights up against Keith Ray's {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {K-Spades} and Ray made the Broadway straight to eliminate Bowen.

Monroe Likes HIs Opponent's Pair

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We found WSOPC IP Biloxi defending champ Jerry Monroe heads up with Brad Johnson on a {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} flop. Monroe check-called 4,000 and the turn came {K-Hearts}. Monroe bet 6,000 and Johnson called. The river came {K-Clubs}, Monroe checked and Johnson bet 6,000.

Monroe sat motionless for a few moments and then folded {Q-} {Q-} face up. Johnson nodded and showed {A-} {A-}.

Monroe was visibly happy he didn't call the small value bet.

"Show Me Yours and I'll Show You Mine"

We found a 20,000+ pot on a flop of {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} between Jesus Calabrera and an unknown opponent. Calabrera was on the button and after his opponent checked he moved all in.

A solid five minute tank ensued where the unknown player couldn't make a decision.

"If you show me your hand, I'll show you mine," Calabrera said.

His opponent open-folded {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} and Calabrera said, "You were gonna call me with that?! What did you think I had?"

His opponent shrugged, "I thought you were making move."

Calabrera showed {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, "Not for all my chips buddy. I don't play like that."
