Chip Counts - Part Deux

Capra Gets Lucky, Does Not Get Unlucky

It folded around to Peter Walsworth in the small blind, who announced all in to cover big blind Sam Capra. Capra snap-called all in for his tournament life.

Walsworth: in excellent shape with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Capra: in some trouble with {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

"Come on! One time!" shouted Capra.

Board: {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}

"YES!" cried Capra as he doubled to 200,000; the hapless Walsworth was left with 145,000. "Problem is, I might have used up my one time now."

Capra went to chat to his supporters at the rail after that, who offered him some sage tournament advice. "You need two things. You need to get lucky, and you need to not get unlucky." Truer words were never spoken.

Baron Busts

Westmenlo55?

Sam Capra started the action by raising to 30,000. Isaac Baron moved all in for 183,000 and Scott Lipshutz re-shoved having both players covered. Capra folded.

Baron: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Lipshutz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Baron did not improve with the {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board, eliminating him from the tournament. Lipshutz is up to 500,000 chips.

Losing His Hedlund

Peter Hedlund has become the latest casualty of this no-limit massacre. He shoved under the gun for 117,000 with {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} but smacked right into Bryan Porter's {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. There was a glimmer of hope for Hedlund on the flop, but the turn and river did nothing for him and he headed for the door.

Porter is now up to 1.1 million.

Motown No Good for Yee

Ryan Yee moved all in for his last 28,000 from under the gun before Peter Kaemmerlen re-raised to 45,000. Michael Kamran put in a fourth bet to 115,000 and Kaemmerlen opted to get out of the way.

Yee: {j-Spades}{5-Spades}
Kamran: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Yee was as actually in OK shape before the dealer flopped {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn ended the hand making the {9-Hearts} on the river but a formality.

Yee was eliminated and Kaemmerlen chipped up to 550,000.

No Bread for Baker

David Baker, reduced to just 55,000, shoved in early position with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and got a call from Scott Lipshutz in the big blind holding {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Board: {j-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Lipshutz' jack spiked on the flop, and Baker was tournament toast. He shook hands with everyone at his table and headed for the payout room.

Lipshutz meanwhile increased to 250,000.
