Some Counts

We're nearing the end of Level 9. Here are some counts from a few of our tables after an hour of play today.

Mizrachi Busted

Robert Mizrachi in action
Robert Mizrachi in action

Eric Cloutier called Robert Mizrachi's all in pre-draw with both players standing pat.

"Ten-eight" announced Mizrachi, only to have Cloutier table his {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-}.

Mizrachi sat there looking at his cards for nearly two minutes before tossing them into the muck before exiting the tournament.

Heimiller Hits the Rail

David Baker raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, Dan Heimiller called from the button, then Mike Watson pushed it up to 9,000 from the SB. Baker got out, but Heimiller decided to go ahead and shove all in for 12,300 more. Watson called.

Watson stood pat, while Heimiller drew one. Watson showed {10-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}. Heimiller turned over his four original cards -- {5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} -- then the one he'd picked up on the draw, a sadly pairing {5-}. Heimiller is out, while Watson moves up to 69,000.

We Have A Flop . . . What?

Sirious Jamshidi opened to 2,500 from the button and Mark Dickstein made the call from the big blind.

The dealer burnt one and spread the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop.

"Whoa. Hey. What you doing?" asked Dickstein.

The Tournament Director was called over and the deck - along with the flop - was shuffled before both players drew one.

Dickstein checked, Jamshidi fired out 3,200 and Dickstein folded looking visibily upset.

"You would of got the ace anyway . . . he was only trying to help" jokingly stated Doug Booth as the dealer began the next hand.

Black Overshadows Grey

David Grey and Andy Black were sitting next to each other for all of Day 1, swapping stories and seeming to enjoy each other's company. After an early table change the pair ended up at the same table again today. Just now Grey shoved his below-average stack all in from the cutoff, and Black called him from the small blind.

Grey drew one card, and Black stood pat. Black turned over {10-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{2-}, and Grey showed his unwanted six-high straight. Gray wished his tourney neighbor well before hitting the rail.

Black continues with 66,000.

Some Chips for Alaei

Daniel Alaei, from Day 1
Daniel Alaei, from Day 1

Daniel Alaei opened for 2,400 from middle position, Eric Sagstrom called from the button, and both blinds -- Eric Cloutier and Dan O'Brien -- called as well.

Cloutier and O'Brien both drew two cards, while Alaei and Sagstrom each took one. It checked to Alaei who bet 4,500 and only Sagstrom called. Alaei tabled {10-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{4-}, and Sagstrom mucked.

Counts after that hand for our four: Cloutier 62,000, Alaei 35,000, Sagstrom 32,000, and O'Brien 12,000.

Adams Clipped By Doyle

Brandon Adams opened to 3,000 from the hijack only to have Doyle Brunson make it 8,400 from the small blind.

Adams made the call drawing two as Brunson stood pat and fired out 11,000 with Adams calling.

Brunson tabled his {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} to take down the pot as Adams tabled his {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-}{3-}{2-} before calling the floor over.

Adams was adamant that he was dealt the exact same two cards he had discarded and demanded the dealer to show the muck.

The Tournament Director was called over and Adams' discarded {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} was retrieved from the muck to prove that Adams was dealt new cards; but just of the opposite suits to the ones he had previously discarded.

Once the commotion had settled down, Adams slipped to 19,200 as Brunson climbs to 79,000 in chips.

Number Five For Brancato

David Williams opened to 2,500 from the cutoff only to have Nicholas Brancato bump it to 6,500 from the button.

Williams made the call and drew one, as did Brancato before firing out for 8,000 following a Williams check.

Williams made the call announcing that he had a eight-six perfect as Brancato tabled his {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} for a number five as he moved to 43,000 while Williams slips to 33,000 in chips.

Bloch Dips Into Tiller

Jason Mercier raised to 2,100 from under the gun and got called by four players. All took one card, except for Dee Tiller in the small blind who drew two.

Andy Bloch led the betting after the draw, pushing out 8,000, and everyone got out except Tiller who check-called. Bloch showed {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} -- better that Tiller's {J-}-X-X-X-X -- and dragged the pot.

Bloch is up to 62,000, while Tiller is now at 18,000.
