Tidmarsh Out

Action folded to a short-stacked Charles Tidmarsh who shoved for 22,500 on the button. Gerald Lee sweated his cards in the small blind and tanked for a minute or two before calling. The big blind released and the hands were tabled:

Tidmarsh: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Lee: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran {9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Tidmarsh hit the rail.

Lee is now up to 112,000 chips.

Bolotin Busts One

A short-stacked player moved all in from the button for about 10,000, and Alex Bolotin made the call from the big blind with the bigger stack. The shorty turned up {K-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and he was in bad shape to stay alive against Bolotin's dominating {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

The board came {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, no help for the at-risk player, and that knockout pot moves Bolotin up to 74,000.

Dwan Multi-tabling

Tom Dwan has been playing Event #14, the $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 event during the dinner break, and he's just come running back over from Blue to Red to play a hand. When he arrived at his table, the dealer was just mucking his dead hand, and Dwan turned right around and sprinted back to Blue to play a hand of lowball.

Online isn't the only place you can multi-table come WSOP time.

Dallying with Dawley

Carl Merkling and Jessica Dawley tangled up in a preflop raising war that left Merkling all in for about 55,000, and Dawley making the call to put his tournament life on the line and a pot of about 110,000 chips up for grabs:

Merkling: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Dawley: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

There was no funny stuff on the board of {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Spades}, and Merkling snags his double up. Dawley has now slipped down around into his chip range with 115,000 left in her stack.

Pay That Man His Money

With about 30,000 chips in the middle and the board reading {A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades}, Eric Moir bet enough to put Payman Arjang all in and Arjang called.

Moir: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Arjang: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The turn and river came {2-Hearts}, {7-Spades} respectively, and Arjang doubled to 80,000 chips. Moir is still in great shape though, he now sits with 280,000 chips.
