Wattel is a Winner

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Michael Wattel moved all in for 27,200 from the button and was called by Calvin Anderson from the big blind. Anderson stood pat while Wattel picked up one.

Anderson tabled {J-}{9-}{7-}{6-}{3-} for jack-nine low against Wattel's {8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}. Wattel squeezed out a {J-} and his jack-eight low scooped the pot.

Wattel is currently sitting around 59,000 while Anderson's been knocked down to about 60,000

Schulman Times Two

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

Nick Schulman has just doubled through Chino Rheem in a big pot. We missed the early action, walking up only as Schulman was all in for 45,800. Rheem spent a few minutes considering, but he eventually plunked the calling stack into the pot.

Schulman showed up {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, and his eighty-six doubles him up to about 150,000. Rheem was gunning for the chip lead, but that loss knocks him back to about 125,000.

Bright and McCrink Sent on an Permanent Dinner Break

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 400 ante

We saw a huge hand at table #282 right before the dinner break that resulted in Robert Bright and Jim McCrink hitting the rail.

We caught up with the action when Jim McCrink moved his entire stack all in. Back on the button, Greg Raymer made the call only to find Alessio Isaia move his whole stack in from the small blind. Robert Bright had least amount of chips of the players in the hand but also shoved his entire stack in.

"I'll fold my marginal hand" Raymer said, tossing his hand into the muck.

Each player drew one and Isaia tabled his {8-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and then flipped up a {9-} for a nine-eight low. Bright flipped up {4-}{4-}{7-}{6-}{2-}, making a pair of fours on the draw, and McCrink tabled {2-}{3-}{4-}{5-}{6-}, making a straight on the draw.

Isaia sent both players home and has now climbed up to around 95,000 in chips.

One for Ogura

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 600 ante

Takashi Ogura made it 6,500 to go and was called by Vincent Musso. Each player drew one card and then the action went check-check.

Ogura flipped over {J-}{10-}{7-}{6-}{5-} and Musso tossed his hand into the muck. Winning this pot brings Ogura's stack up to 65,000.

Cantu Can't Handle Hellmuth

From under the gun, Phil Hellmuth raised to 7,000. Brandon Cantu decided to make it 19,000 total from middle position and the action folded back around to Hellmuth who made the call. Hellmuth stood pat while Cantu drew one card. The action went check-check and Hellmuth tabled his {J-}{10-}{9-}{4-}{2-}, causing Cantu to send his cards into the muck.

No Harman Tryin'

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 600 ante

Jen Harman was under the gun, and Peter Gould was on the button, and they got it all in. We missed how the action went, only walking up as Gould slid his last 45,200 forward. He stood pat while Harman drew one card.

Gould: {8-}{6-}{5-}{3-}{2-}
Harman: {7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}... {A-Hearts}

Harman spun the ace around in her hand and mumbled something to her neighbor before gathering them under and dropping them in the muck. She paid her debt to drop to 32,000, doubling Gould up over 90,000.
