PokerNews grabbed Bart Hanson on break from Day 4 of the Main Event. Bart talked about being card dead today, being happy with his table draw, and how ranges of hands you can call raises with changes as the blinds go up.
Levin called Minieri's 50,000 preflop raise and the two saw a flop. Minieri bet 90K, Levin moved all-in for nearly 700K, and Dario called. He held but Levin had flopped a set with . The board ran out and and Levin doubled to 1,500,000 at Minieri's expense. Dario is down to 1,875,000.
Jon Moonves moved all in for 188,000 with Q-Q and was called by Josh Evans with . The flop was , the turn was the , and the river was the , doubling Moonves up to 400,000.
Jim McCrink raises from the button to 29,000, and Bill Edler takes his time thinking in the big blind before reraising to 119,000. McCrink asks Edler how much he has left, and Edler glances at his stack and says, "Eighty thousand." Then he stops himself, remembering that his four stacks of yellow chips are 40 high rather than the standard 20. Edler quickly amends himself, "Wait. One hundred and sixty thousand. I have one hundred and sixty thousand."
McCrink thinks for about a minute, and then puts his hands behind his chips as if he's about to push all in. Edler doesn't budge. McCrink picks up his cards and tosses them into the muck.
As Edler collects the pot, he says, "That could have been a disaster. I said eighty, and if you called and I actually had one-sixty -- that could have been a disaster."
After the hand, Edler is up to 320,000, while McCrink drops down to about 370,000.
After a flop of Reyes moved all-in and Tunkel, holding , sniffed out the bluff and called. Reyes held and when he didn't improve on the turn or river, he was eliminated.
