Jarvis Folds to River Shove

With the board reading {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades}, one player checked to Matthew Jarvis. He bet 1,250 and his opponent check-raised to 3,850. Jarvis flatted and the {A-Clubs} completed the board on the river. Jarvis' opponent moved all in and had Jarvis' 16,000 or so behind covered. Jarvis tanked for a minute and then gave it up, allowing his opponent to scoop the chips.

Ace King Isn't Treating Dwan Well

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Earlier in the tournament, we reported that Tom Dwan lost a big hand to Amit Makhija when Makhija flopped a set against Dwan's AK. Well Dwan must have been feeling deja vu all over again with this hand that just knocked him out. Dwan went all in preflop, and Robert Williamson III made the call.

Dwan: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Williamson III: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The flop was once again brutal to Dwan as it came {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. The turn and river provided no help as it came the {8-Spades} and {8-Diamonds}, and Dwan hurried on over to the 10k omaha hi-low tournament to late register.

Ramdin Holds Court

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

The action over in the Black section has been lacking in this post-dinner break session, but American Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin is holding his own, moving up to 28,000 in chips.

The action folded to Ramdin who raised to 1,075 from the cutoff. The button folded, and both the small and big blinds called before they checked to Ramdin on the flop of {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. Ramdin led out for 2,050, but that was enough to have them both fold.

While Ramdin continues his quest for a WSOP gold bracelet, the same cannot be said for co-creator of The Micros Jay Rosenkrantz, or Aussie online phenom Jonathan Karamalikis, who have both hit the rail. However, we did notice Bryan Colin cutting an imposing figure out on table 29 - he's now sitting on a stack worth more than 76,000!

Level: 9

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 75

Play Resumes

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The players have returned to their seats and the cards are back in the air! At present, there are 319 runners left in this event and at this rate of attrition, we may well reach the money tonight.

In any case, we'll be playing two more levels before we bag 'em and tag 'em.

Sabat Losing Ground

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Eddy Sabat just lost a pot that knocked him down to around 5800. We caught the action on a flop that came {9-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. Sabat checked called a bet of 1725 from his opponent on the button. The turn came the {8-Clubs}, and both players checked. The river brought the {7-Diamonds}, and again Sabat check called the bet, this time being 3225. His opponent tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades}, and Sabat mucked.

Colin Crushing

Bryan Colin is crushing and has just hit six figures in chips. Here's a couple recent hands.

After an under-the-gun player raised to 1,500, Colin called from the small blind. No one else was in the hand as the two players took the flop of {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Both checked and the turn brought the {Q-Hearts}. Colin led for 1,600 and his opponent called to see the {5-Hearts} fall on the river. Colin fired 3,700 and his opponent called.

Colin tabled the {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flopped full house and his opponent showed the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} before mucking.

On the very next hand, action folded to Colin on the button and he raised to 1,400. The same player from the previous hand called from the big blind and the two saw a flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}., Another paired flop between the two and this time all it took was a 1,800-chip continuation bet from Colin for him to win the hand.
