Chip Check

Padgett Doubles Through Pham

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Tim Pham opened for 14,000 and Kent Lloyd Padgett moved all in behind him for 80,000. Action folded around back to Pham and he called.

Showdown:
Padgett: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Pham: {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Board: {K-Spades} {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}

Padgett doubled to 170,000 with his set and Pham slipped a little, but is still comfortable with 361,000.

Break Dance

It's our last twenty-minute break of the night, and while we're gone, those pesky lavender T500 chips will magically disappear.

Pilgrim Triples Up with Crazy Action

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Dwyte Pilgrim with a triple up.
Dwyte Pilgrim with a triple up.

After a three-bet, four-bet shove and five-bet shove three players were all in preflop making one main pot and one side pot.

Dwyte Pilgrim: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Michael Adamo: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Kyle Keranen: {10-} {10-}

Board: {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

Pilgrim had the shortest stack and took the main pot, tripling up to 340,000. Adamo lost most of his stack to Pilgrim but won the side pot with Keranen and was left with 50,000.

Sabat Scored On

We got to Table 365 just in time to watch Eddy Sabat call the all in of one of the short stacks, John Zentner at his table. It was very few chips to call the all in, and it was clear Sabat was not too confident in his hand, but he still made the call.

Sabat: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Zentner: {A-}{K-}

The board came out {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{Q-Clubs} giving Zentner the best hand with ace king high. Zentner doubled up to around 70,000 while Sabat still sits on top of a comfy 390,000 in chips.

Wong's Mighty Stack Dented

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

A player in middle position opened to 12,000, and Jerry Wong called a couple seats over. Action came around to Kyle Keranan in the blinds, and he squeezed in a reraise to 45,000 total. That folded the initial raiser, but Wong reraised all in with his massive stack. Keranen instantly called, and his {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} was flipping against the mighty {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} of Wong.

The {K-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Spades} flop was a big miss for Keranen, and the turn {5-Diamonds} was only a little bit of help. It did give him another three outs to the win, and as it turned out, that's just what he needed. The {K-Clubs} dropped off the deck on the river, and Wong's counterfeit three pair are worthless. He's forced to pay off a 253,500-chip double up, knocking him down to 448,000.

With that big double comes the chip lead for Keranan, shooting his way past the field and up to about 525,000.

Watts Up With That?

John Kim, one of the short stacks at the table moved all in preflop and received a call from Steven Watts. Kim was the first to flip his cards and he showed {9-}{9-}. Watts than visible excited slammed down {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and was genuinely happy with the position he was in going to the flop.

{Q-}{2-}{A-} all made an appearance on the flop, and things were looking good for Kim. A {J-} on the turn brought another out Watts as any ten would give him a straight. Indeed a {10-} rolled off for the river and gave Watts a straight and the hand.
