Papola Shoves Over Baldwin

Jeffrey Papola
Jeffrey Papola

From under the gun, Joe Baldwin raised to 135,000 before Jeffrey Papola reraised all in for 1.465 million total. The tournamnt staff pulled in 130,000 from Papola's stack and not 135,000, but the mistake went unnoticed. Either way, the extra 5,000 wasn't that big of a difference.

Baldwin tanked for several minutes and the flicked his hand into the muck with one of his T25,000 chips and Papola won the pot.

Scharf Doubles

Doppel von Scharf
Doppel von Scharf

Eddy Scharf was getting short and in a previous hand he open-shoved but received no callers.

He found a customer the next hand.

William Haydon opened to 150,000 on the button and Scharf moved in for an extra 435,000 from the big blind. Haydon thought a bit before making the call.

Showdown
Scharf: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Haydon: {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {3-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} flop was fairly dry, but {j-Diamonds} on the turn was interesting. It gave Scharf a set, yes, but it gave Haydon four outs to a straight. Haydon made a useless pair of queens when the {q-Hearts} rivered though, and Scharf doubled to 1,200,000 chips.

Haydon is still strong with 2,900,000 chips.
