Trading Pots

There's been very little action to report. Some decent size pots have traded hands, but few showdowns have occurred. At this stage, it seems like most are trying to pick up blinds/antes and make the money.

Level: 14

Blinds: 2,500/5,000

Ante: 500

Ken Harbaugh Eliminated by John Devia

Giovanni Maracci raised to 16,000 from early position. Ben Sabrin called the raise and John Devia went into the tank. After thinking a bit, Devia raised to 45,000 from late position. Action folded to Ken Harbaugh on the button who moved all in for 66,000 total. The blinds passed and it was back to Maracci. He thought for quite a while before folding. Sabrin took about 3 minutes to act before finally deciding to fold. Devia insta-called and the players showed:

Devia: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Harbaugh: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

Sabrin and Maracci commented that they folded eights and nines respectively. The board helped neither player and Devia's aces were best. Harbaugh was eliminated and Devia is now a dominant force with around 650,000.

"Captain" Tom Franklin Doubles Through Dale Morrow

We caught up to this hand on the flop. The board read {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} and "Captain" Tom Franklin moved all in for roughly 64,000. He was quickly called by Dale Morrow. The players showed:

Franklin: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Morrow: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Franklin seemed resigned to his fate as the {2-Hearts} hit the turn. As the dealer burned for the river card, Franklin called out "give me a nine!" To the entire table's amazement, the dealer layed down the {9-Diamonds} on the river, counterfeiting Morrow's full house and giving Franklin the pot and doubling him up in the process.

Dean Schultz Eliminated

A short-stacked Dean Shultz open-raised all in and was called. Shultz had A-K and his opponent held Q-Q. It went from bad to worse for Schultz when his opponent flopped a set of queens. There was no runner runner miracle for Schultz and he has been eliminated.

That Was Quick

With the eliminations of Starkweather, Baverlein and Hudson, there are now 26 players remaining. A table was broken and seats have been redrawn. The process was efficient as always and play has already resumed.

Spencer Hudson Eliminated by John Devia

Two of the big stacks, Spencer Hudson and John Devia just tangled in likely the largest pot of the tournament thus far. Hudson took his {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} up against the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} of Devia and fell short. Hudson missed his overcards and failed to make a hand. Devia is now the chip leader with about 370,000 while Hudson is halfway to the parking lot.

Gene Baverlein Eliminated

Starting the day with just 10,000 chips, Gene Baverlein was going to need some serious luck to recover. Luck never came into play however as Baverlein failed to report for Day 2. On the 7th hand of play, Baverlein was all-in in the ante and was eliminated.

Larry Starkweather Eliminated by Ben Sabrin

Ben Sabrin made a standard raise from early position. Action folded around to Larry Starkweather who moved all in. Sabrin instantly called and the players showed:

Sabrin: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Starkweather: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

The board filled out {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} to give Sabrin the win. An upbeat Starkweather said his goodbyes and headed for the rail.
