Chip 'Em Up and Bust 'Em Out

Updated Chip Counts

Here are some of the chip counts over in the Amazon Room

Karr Can't Beat Three Pair

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

Catching the action with the board reading {K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, Mclean Karr was faced with a 400-chip bet.

Deliberating for a few moments, Karr made the call.

"Three-pair!" announced Karr's opponent tabling his {7-Spades}{6-Spades}. Karr mucked and slipped to 4,500 in chips.

Subtle Check

On a flop of {J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, Jennifer Tilly fired a bet that was called by the player on the button. The turn came {6-Spades} and the action was checked by both players.

When the {Q-Spades} fell on the river, Tilly checked once again. Roughly a minute and a half passed without action from her opponent until Tilly finally remarked "I checked", followed by an "Oh!" from her opponent.

Everyone around the table shared a laugh as Tilly said "I guess I'm just too subtle with my checking". Her opponent bet out 350 and Tilly tossed her cards into the muck.

We have just spotted a couple more Pokerstars Players in the White section, including Richard Toth, who just saw at fellow Pokerstars Pro Tony Hachem's table

Hundred Dollar Bill Y'all!

Level 2 : 25/50, 0 ante

"Players. A floorman has just turned in a $100 bill. So if it's yours, please come and retrieve it!" announced Tournament Director Jimmy Sommerfeld in his Texan-sounding drawl.

"To claim it you'll have to tell me the serial number!" added Sommerfeld as the players and dealers burst into laughter.

Some Updated Chip Counts

Orange Julius

As they have done in the past, several players are over in the Amazon room, as there is not enough room in the Pavilion. Here are some of the players we saw in the Orange Section.
