Carlson Joining the Leaders

Michael Carlson has built a stack of about 120,000 and just added a few more to his pile when he was facing a raise to 3,800 in the small blind. He three-bet to 6,500 and induced a fold from his opponent.

Carlson started the day with about 24,000 chips.

Ketteringham Krushed

Mark Ketteringham moved all in for about 15,000, and Sabyl Landrum flatted. The player behind her then reshipped for 37,000. Landrum called that as well. Ketteringham's {kx7x] were up against Landrum's little slick and the other player's pocket aces. Aces held, and Ketteringham hit the rail. Landrum is down to 13,000.

Shamseddin Halved

Soheil Shamseddin was riding a big stack for most of the day but just lost about half of it in a big hand.

Shamseddin made a raise to 3,500 from the hijack only to have the cutoff re-raise to 10,000. Shamseddin called and the two were off to the flop.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Shamseddin checked to the cutoff, who made it 9,400 to go. Shamseddin called then bet 29,000 into the {q-Spades} on the turn. However, once the cutoff went all in, Shamseddin thought for some time before folding.

Shamseddin is down to 64,000 in chips

Roberts Taking Over New Table

Brent Roberts' table broke, and he's enjoying his new seat much more without Ryan D'Angelo and Josh Goldstein to his left. Roberts raised preflop and got a call from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, and when checked to, Roberts bet 3,600. The big blind called, then bet out 5,200 after the {4-Spades} turn. Roberts calmly announced he was all in. It was another 27,000 for the big blind to call. He declined, and Roberts took the pot. He's up to 50,000 now.

D'Angelo Playing a Monster Stack

Ryan D'Angelo is maintaining his place as the chipleader. He just added 3,500 to his stack when he re-raised an under the gun raise to 3,500 from the small blind. He committed enough to put the other player all in and said to someone else at the table, "I'm so dead, Andy. He probably has nines and he's going to call."

D'Angelo wasn't right on that one. His opponent reluctantly folded and will try to pick up some chips in another spot.

Dinner Is Served

They've only played three and a half levels so far, so it's a little early, but those who survived the post-bubble bloodshed are off on a 60-minute dinner break. They'll play six levels when they return before calling it a night. So really, this is brunch.

Level: 13

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

WSOP Cash Race

Shawn Buchanan busted just before the break. He earned $2,289 for 195th place. The cash marks his sixth of the 2010 WSOP, tying him with Pat Pezzin for most cashes of the summer. Tad Jurgens, who finished in 205th place, picked up his fifth cash of the series. He's now tied for second with Christian Harder and Michael Glasser.

Look Out, Here Comes Goldstein

We got to the table and started to take in what would develop into a huge hand. It looked like Josh Goldstein had raised from late position (as there was about 10,000 in the pot) with the dealer re-raising an additional 6,400. Goldstein took a couple of minutes to announce a four-bet for an additional 10,100. Another few minutes later the player on the button said he was all in and Goldstein snap-called.

Goldstein: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Goldstein was way ahead, but he picked up a bit of a sweat when the flop came down {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The {k-Hearts} came on the turn, and while the {7-Clubs} river was a bit of a heart-stopper, Goldstein's aces held up.

After the hand it looks like Goldstein is the proud owner of 163,000 chips.

Luck Be a Lady

Sabyl Landrum three-bet shoved from the small blind after the cutoff opened. The big blind got out of the way, and the original raiser called. Landrum's {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} had to dodge her opponent's {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. The board fell {k-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and the ladies held for Landrum. She had the other player just covered, sending him to the rail and chipping up to 64,000.
