Moar Chips!

Why? Because moar!

Amnon Can't Be Moved

We walked up to the table to see a board of {8-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} spread on the table and about 20,000 chips already in the pot. The player in the small blind led out with a bet of 12,000, sending the decision over to Amnon Filippi.

Filippi tanked and eventually made the call with {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} for just that naked ace-high. Sure enough, he was right; his opponent said, "Nice call," as he flung his cards into the muck.

Filippi drags the pot, moving his way up to about 125,000 in the process.

Karl Fenton's Tiny Universe

Karl Fenton got his ~48,000 chips into the pot with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} preflop, and big stack Taylor Paur put him to the test with {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds}, racing for the knockout and the chip lead.

But Fenton wasn't going anywhere. A queen dropped on the flop, and the board of {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts} secured his double up, sitting now right at 100,000. Fenton has taken a big step back to about 86,000, still plenty of chips to do some damage with.

Schultz Out

Andrew Schultz was just eliminated by our resident chip magnet Jason Young.

Young opened to 3,200 in late position when Andrew Schultz shoved for his remaining 12,000 chips. The blinds released and Young eyed the pot doing some quick math before making the call.

Young: {K-}{Q-}
Schultz: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The {7-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop was not what Schultz was looking for, and he couldn't find a jack on either the turn ({4-Clubs}) or the river ({6-Diamonds}) eliminating him from the tournament.

Young is still alive however, sitting with 167,000 chips.

Lang Let Go

Marc Suckman raised to 3,200 from the cutoff seat before Barry Lang three-bet all in for about 12,000 from the small blind. "I gotta call," lamented Suckman, and he would soon see that it was easily the correct call:

Suckman: {A-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Lang: {K-Hearts} {3-Hearts}

The board was unkind to the at-risk Lang as it ran out {5-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts}, sealing the deal. He's out, and Suckman chips his way up to about 54,000.

I Fought The Law and The Law Won

Ted Lawson opened to 3,800 from early position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who made the call. The players on the button and in the small blind released, and James Lee three-bet to 13,500 from the big blind. Lawson called all in, the player in the cutoff folded and the hands were tabled:

Lawson: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Lee: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Lawson doubled to 20,000.

Chips, Please

We're going to keep you inundated with chip counts today, so here are a few more for your statistical enjoyment:

Fleischer Up, Pesek Down

With the board reading {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Terry Fleischer opened to 4,000 from middle position and Michael Pesek called from late position.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and Fleischer checked to Pesek who bet 7,500. Fleischer called tabling {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Pesek mucked.

After the hand the their stacks look like this:

Fleischer - 45,000 chips
Pesek - 25,000 chips
