Watching Event #54

We're back from dinner break and our 13 remaining players are in their seats around our final two tables. The first hands of Level 23 are being dealt.

The Amazon Room is relatively quiet today, especially now as the Tournament of Champions (over at the feature table on the main stage) is on a break. The lucky 13 who have made it through to this point in Event #54 certainly don't have the name recognition of those in the TOC, but they do have their supporters.

Quite a few are gathered on the rail watching the action on both of our tables, and from their interest one gathers they are presumably friends and family. There's a lot on the line here, with the one emerging as the winner earning a $570,960 payday for his $1,000 investment.

A big moment for all -- for the players and for those supporting them.

Chaudhari Shoves, Lupton Lets It Go

Mehul Chaudhari opened with a raise to 60,000 from under the gun, and it folded to Matthew Lupton who reraised to 175,000 total from the button. The blinds got out, and Chaudhari took about ten seconds before making the call.

The flop came all clubs -- {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} -- and Chaudhari wasted no time deciding what to do. "I'm all in," he said, looking at Lupton, showing his willingness to commit the 810,000 or so he had left. Lupton rechecked his cards, then took about a minute before pushing them to the dealer.

Chaudhari moves up to 1.26 million on that, while Lupton still has 1.15 million.

Down to a Dozen

We're down to a dozen, and so are playing six-handed.

At Table 262, the players are arranged thusly: Johnny Kitchens, Dustin Dorrance-Bowman, Nathan Jessen, Henrik Tollefsen, Espen Moen, and Yu Shen.

And over at Table 267, here's how they sit: Daniel Van Kalkeren, Marcel Vonk, Matthew Lupton, Paul Kerr, David Peters, Mehul Chaudhari.

Yu Shen Eliminated in 12th Place ($35,045)

Yu Shen
Yu Shen

Dustin Dorrance-Bowman opened with a raise to 53,000 from under the gun, and it folded around to a short-stacked Yu Shen in the small blind who reraised all in for his last 66,000. Johnny Kitchens folded from the big blind, and Dorrance-Bowman called.

Dorrance-Bowman showed {A-}{9-} and Shen {K-}{Q-}. The board brought no help for Shen, and he is out.

Dorrance-Bowman presently sits with about 1.22 million.

Nice One for Lupton

Matthew Lupton
Matthew Lupton

Mehul Chaudari opened the pot with a 60,000-chip raise and was called by Matthew Lupton in the small blind.

The flop was {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Lupton check-raised all in a 300,000-chip bet from his opponent.

Chaudari tanked and eventually folded. Lupton is now up to 1,600,000 chips.
