Morton and Sokoloff Run Into Big Hands

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

With 400 in the middle, the dealer fanned the flop of {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The action checked to Robert Morton in the cutoff who bet 200 and his opponent called. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Morton fired out another 800. His opponent check-called again and both players knuckled the table on the {2-Hearts} river. Morton was staring down the barrel of {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and was forced to muck his cards.

A couple of tables over, four players went to a flop of {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. The action checked to Paul Sokoloff on the button who tossed in a bet of 1,500. A player in early position check-called and the {4-Spades} landed on the turn.

Sokoloff was faced with a bet of 2,000 this time and he raised to 4,500. His opponent called and the {10-Spades} completed the board. Both players checked and Sokoloff tabled {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for top pair. Unfortunately for him, his opponent tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} and scooped the pot.

Huge Numbers Expected as Flight B of the WSOPc Cherokee Main Event Kicks Off

Large field in Cherokee
Large field in Cherokee

Today marks the start of Flight B of the WSOP Circuit Harrah’s Cherokee Event 10: $1700 Main Event. Flight A attracted 360 entries and played all the way down until 59 players remained. A busy Saturday at the Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort is anticipated as Flight B is expected to be significantly larger than Flight A. Many players who busted on their first chance, are likely to give it another shot and join the several newcomers.

All players have a benchmark to chase down, the 504,000 chip stack that was bagged by Brad Albrinck in Flight A. As well as the four other players who finished with above 400,000 including Carlos Loving (446,000), Kobie Wilkerson (441,000), Scott Drobes (425,000) and Scott Sanders (404,000)

Ultimately though, the goal of the day is to finish the night with chips, which will end after the completion of level 16 or until 16% of the field remains. It will be a tight call as Flight A played down until they were just one elimination away from 16% remaining.

Flight B will follow the same format as Flight A, beginning at 11 a.m. local time and players having until the start of level 13 to register with the option of one re-entry. The first 15 levels are 40 minutes in length with breaks coming every three levels, and an hour dinner break after level 9 roughly at 5:30 p.m.

Keep tabs on this huge WSOP Circuit Event through PokerNews, who will once again be providing all the live updates.
