Jared Hamby Going the Wrong Direction

donpeters

No-Limit Hold'em:

An under-the-gun raiser made it 100 to go. A middle-position player called, the button called, and Jared Hamby called from the big blind.

The flop came down {6-Diamonds}

and Hamby led out for 325. Only the button called.

The turn came the {9-Diamonds}

and Hamby bet out again, this time he made it 750. The button called.

The river came the {4-Hearts}

and both players checked. Hamby showed {Q-Clubs}

and his opponent showed {K-Spades}

for a better kicker.

Hamby is down to 1,500.

and made a set to eliminate Bonomo.

In a hand of No Limit David Plastik has won a pot that has put him up to 6,000 chips already. Plastik raised to 150 before a player in late position reraised all in for 1,725, that Plastik called.

Plastik flipped over {A-Hearts}

and he was dominating his opponent's {A-Clubs}

.

The board ran {6-Spades}

.

An easy way for Plastik to get some after his opponent over played a raggy ace.

Early Action

MarcC

A player in middle position raised it up before Alex Kravchenko reraised to 150 which the player called.

The flop came {J-Hearts}

. The middle position player check-called Kravchenko's bet.

The turn came {5-Clubs}

and once again Kravchenko found his bet called once it was checked to him.

The river {10-Spades}

saw the middle position player lead out his time for a 100 bet but surprisingly folded for the extra 100 that Kravchenko raised.

He's up to 3,300 early doors.

Players Being Called to Their Seat

MarcC

With less than ten minutes to go, players are being called to their seats ready for some mixed hold'em action. We're already in to the forties, in terms of events, so time is running out for those who have not won a bracelet yet.

Mixed Hold'em Set for 5pm Kickoff

[user33020]

Fred Goldberg has played several events so far in the '08 Series

Event #41 on this year's WSOP schedule is one of a handful of "hybrid" events -- mixed-format tourneys designed to challenge players' skills in multiple games. Mixed-limit hold'em (with alternating 30-minute periods of fixed-limit and no-limit action) makes its second appearance of 2008 on Sunday. This $1,500-buy in event gets underway at 5pm from the Amazon Room.

Fred Goldberg triumphed over a 620-player field to win this event in 2007, collecting $204,935 and the bracelet. He'll likely be on hand to defend his title.
