Sunar Doubles

Surinder Sunar in action
Surinder Sunar in action
Surinder Sunar checked the flop of {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to see his opponent fire out 1,200. Sunar then moved all in for his last 3,075 and his opponent made the call.

Sunar: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The turn fell the {5-Clubs} and river the {Q-Spades} to see Sunar double to 8,500 in chips through his flopped set that turned into a full house.

Small One for Guillen

With about 3,000 in the middle and the board showing {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, a player in early position checked, and Angel Guillen -- winner of Event No. 32 ($2,000 No-Limit Hold'em) and runner-up in Event No. 13 ($2,500 No-Limit Hold'em) -- sat quietly behind his dark sunglasses for several moments before saying he checked, too.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}. This time when it was checked to Guillen he bet 1,500, and his opponent folded. Guillen is at 29,000, just below the starting stack.

Mizrachi Sliding

It has been a tough day so far for Michael Mizrachi. His level one woes have continued into level two.

With the board reading {5-Spades} {A-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts}, Mizrachi check-called his opponent on the turn and river. The player tabled {5-Hearts} {5-Clubs} for a flopped set and Mizrachi mucked.

He is down to 10,300.

Feldman Slips More

On the next hand after that last one where he dropped to 33,000 chips, Peter "Nordberg" Feldman was involved in another pot.

After a raise to 550 from a player under the gun and a call from a player in middle position, Feldman reraised to 2,000 in the cutoff seat. Both players made the call.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} and action checked to Feldman. He fired out 4,000 and only the first player called.

The turn brought the {J-Hearts} and instead of checking, this time the first player fired out a bet of 8,000. Feldman released his hand and dropped to 27,000 chips.

Vanessa Rousso opened the action with a raise under the gun to 500 and found one call in the small blind.

The flop landed {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the small blind led out with a bet of 1,000. Rousso made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and again the small blind fired 1,000 into the pot. Rousso then raised it up to 4,000 and her opponent called, before both players checked down the {3-Spades} river.

The small blind showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} but Rousso got the chocolates with {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. She's up to 43,000 chips.

Micon Angled?

The board read {J-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Spades} {3-Hearts} with four players in the hand over at Bryan Micon's table. The small blind checked, the big blind bet 200, the next player called, and then Micon called.

The river brought the {6-Hearts} and the first two players checked. The third player fired out 250. Micon raised to 950. The first player from the small blind called and the big blind folded. The player that bet 250 grabbed a bunch of T1,000 chips -- six of them to be exact -- and tossed them into the pot. The dealer looked at the player and the player said, "That's a call, right?"

"No sir, those are 1,000 chips, that's a raise." responded the dealer.

"O.K." said the player.

Micon looked puzzled and stood up from his chair, putting his hands on his head. "Sir, are you leveling me?" he asked. He deliberated for a few moments and then made the call. The other player got out of the way.

The man that tossed in the reraise showed {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} for a rivered full house. Micon showed the nut flush with the {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, but lost the hand.

Scott Montgomery Eliminated

One of the November Nine players will have to wait another year before repeating his final table performance.

Scott Montgomery pushed his remaining few chips into the middle with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} on a {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} board.

His only opponent in the hand made the call tabling {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a flopped bottom set.

The turn landed the {J-Hearts} to eliminate Montgomery's flush outs, but leave him with outs to a full house.

When the river fell the {6-Clubs}, Montgomery headed to the rail for a less then perfect ending to his 2009 WSOP.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Clements led at the pot for 3,500. His opponent made the call and Clements showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush to take it down. He's back above starting stack to now sit with 32,500 chips.

Hamby tabled his {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} to prompt a muck from his opponent while he chipped up to 33,000 in chips.
