Jett Cruising Right Along

On fourth street, Chip Jett raised his opponent's bet, which prompted a check-bet-call pattern throughout the rest of the hand.

Chip Jett: {5-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} {8-Diamonds} ({5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds})
Opponent: {K-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} showing

Chip's two pair was enough to move him to 23,000.

Been Here Before

As we near the end of the level, racks of green 25-denomination chips have accumulated and are stacked neatly in anticipation of a color-up. Only a seasoned World Series of Poker player would be so on point with the maturation of a tournament here at the Rio. Indicative of the class in the field, maybe?

Slotbloom Falls

Rolf Slotbloom is the latest player to be knocked out of today's tournament. He started with split aces and managed to get his last 1,200 chips in on third street against Dewey Tomko's buried queens. Tomko made two pair by sixth street; Slotbloom never improved.

Chip Accretion

Humberto Brenes has been broken to Orange #10, and like three ducks in a row his tablemates to either side are Amnon Filippi and Greg "FBT" Mueller. Each of the players has well over 10,000 in chips.

Upwards Pressure

The levels may be an hour long, but the limits do increase quickly in the WSOP stud tournaments. With limits of 300 and 600, the current average stack is about 8,000 chips, or just over 13 big bets. That leads to quick eliminations.

People who have recently been eliminated include: Paul Darden; Doug Carli; "Miami" John Cernuto; Ali Eslami; Keith Sexton; and Allen Kessler.
