With several events yet to be determined, the race for the WSOP Circuit River RockCasino Champion is undetermined. Whoever captures that title, along with the eventual winner of the Main Event, will automatically qualify for the Second Annual $1 Million National Championship. Here's a look at the players who have qualified:
We found Matthew Levine opened to 9,500 from middle position and the big blind was his only caller. The flop brought and Levine's opponent checked. He continued for 8,000 and his opponent called. The turned and the action went check-check, prompting the to complete the board.
Levine's opponent checked once again and Levine took about forty-five seconds to check behind.
"Good check," said his opponent who showed for a turned two pair. Levine tabled , tapped the table, and watched as the pot was pushed across the table.
Ashkan Razavi opened with a raise to 8,000 from middle position. The player on the button announced that he was all in for 35,000 total and Scott Stiglitz peered down at his cards in the small blind. Stiglitz announced a flat call and the rest of the table folded, allowing the cards to be shown:
Stiglitz:
Opponent:
The board ran out and Stiglitz was able to score the knockout, boosting his stack to about 118,000
We caught up to find a player all in and at risk holding against Christopher Gunnarsson's .
The board brought and Gunnarsson's cowboys were able to seal the deal on his opponent's tournament life. Gunnarsson is currently sitting on about 155,000 in chips.
We caught up on the later stages of the hand, but were told the following:
A player opened for a raise to 10,500 only to have Isaac Baron come over the top for 25,000 total. Baron's opponent slid out a four-bet to 42,000 and Baron wasted little time five-betting to 60,000.
Baron's opponent then opted to six-bet to 78,000. Baron seven-bet all in and his opponent folded, showing offsuit. Baron is now sitting on about 25,0000.
