Young Penalized
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
With the board reading 
, Ryan Young bet out 3,000. An opponent at his table moved all in having Young covered, and Young went into the tank.
After thinking for a few minutes he held his cards up so most everyone at the table could see them. Finally he folded, but a floorperson was watching and issued Young a six-hand penalty for exposing his hand while action is pending.
Young's hand was 
for what it's worth.
Penalties are tracked throughout the World Series all the way through the Main Event final table in November.
Traply Doubles
Two bracelet winners were just all in preflop against one another moments ago.
Michael Banducci raised from the cutoff and Peter Traply three-bet from the small blind. Banducci four-bet jammed and Traply made the call.
Showdown
Banducci: 
Traply: 
The board ran 
and Traply doubled to 35,500 chips.
Banducci slipped to just 6,500.
Lakers v Celtics
There is a buzz in the Pavilion Room right now, and it has little to do with poker.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics are in the final minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals and seemingly everyone is interested. Dealers, players, railbirds, waiters and of course the media are all sweating the game for various reasons.
Amnon Filippi was pleading with the tournament staff to replace the tournament clock with the game.
"You did it for the World Cup!" Filippi shouted. "You did it for the World Cup!"
We're Back!
The cards are back in the air!

We've completed six levels of play so it's time for dinner. Cya in 90 minutes!
Shulman Gets Lucky
It looked as though it had checked around to Jennifer Harman on the 
flop. EIther way, there was a 1,700 bet in front of her when we arrived at the table, which Barry Shulman (first to act) had called.
The action now moved back on Robbie Verspui, who raised. Harman got out of the way quickly, but Shulman announced all in to cover Verspui, who called all in instantly.
Verspui: 
Shulman: 
Turn: 
River:
Shulman's flush draw didn't come in, but the board made a straight and Shulman's six was good enough to make a higher straight. The disgusted Verspui got up and left, and Shulman was up to around 40,000.
Graham's Comeback
Matt Graham was down to his last 4,000 chips about an hour ago, but has soared all the way back up to 35,000 thanks in part to hands like this.
Graham opened from early position and the action folded a player in the big blind who defended. The dealer flopped 
and Graham's opponent check-called 1,125.
The turn brought the and Graham's opponent check-called 3,000.
The rivered and Graham's opponent checked a third time. Graham shoved for effectively 10,500 and his opponent opted to fold.
Gorodetskiy Sings the Blues
The first player to act checked the 
flop and EPT Berlin finalist Ilya Gorodetskiy checked behind. The turn was the 
and this time Gorodetskiy's opponent bet out 1,100. Gorodetskiy made the call. They saw a river and this time the bet from Mr. Opponent was 5,300. Gorodetskiy dwelled up for a long, long time, and eventually folded, leaving his stack at 36,000.
While Gorodetskiy was dwelling up, we had time to go and examine the post-it note stuck to the table in front of a stack of chips and an empty seat. The post-it note said "david singer" on it.
Gorodetskiy told us that Singer had played two hands at their table. He was particularly amused by one where Singer bet out on a 
board with three clubs on it and had called a raise from an opponent whom Gorodetskiy described as (imagine awesome Russian accent), "Crazy." Singer check-called a bet on the offsuit {qx] river, and discovered that his pocket sevens were good to put him up to around 35,000.
The other hand which Singer played amused Gorodetskiy rather less, as it was a three-bet to Gorodetskiy's own raise. Singer took the pot and headed back to the other tournament he's playing today.
