We came upon this hand at the river with around 30,000 already in the pot. The board read , Matt Glantz checked and Bonding bet 23,200 after some careful consideration.
Glantz was visibly unsure and took a few moments to think. He announced call, Bonding tabled and Glantz mucked his hand.
During the hand Viktor Blom was moved to their table and took some time to unrack his chips.
We arrived just as World Series of Poker bracelet-winner Mark Radoja was scooping a huge pot with Jerry Yang strangely absent. Radoja was nice enough to let us know what had happened.
Radoja opened from under-the-gun and was three-bet by Yang in late position. The blinds folded and Radoja re-popped it. Yang five-bet all in and Radoja called.
Radoja:
Yang:
The relatively sweat-free board came out and Radoja scooped the massive pot with a pair of kings.
Jimmy D'Ambrosio has been eliminated from the tournament. He's the owner of a well known bar and restaurant, Citizen Bar, in Chicago. We understand his staff and regulars are following the coverage. Perhaps they should ring the last call bell in his honor.
2007 World Series of Poker Main-Event winner Jerry Yang opened to 1,350 from the button and was shoved on for 10,000 from the player in the big blind. Yang called and hands were revealed.
Yang:
Opponent:
The board ran out leaving Yang with trips, which was good enough to send his opponent to the rail.
Last we checked James Akenhead had around 40,000. The 2009 November Niner has more than doubled his stack seems to be in control of his table as we observed.
We caught up with the action on a completed board reading .
An early-position player led out for 3,000 and Tony Dunst was faced with a seemingly tough decision from the big blind. Dunst tanked for well over a minute and reluctantly tossed in a call.
"Sixes," his opponent said.
Dunst then revealed for a pair of kings and scooped the pot.
We were flagged down by Jerilyn Totani and she told us she had the craziest hand to tell us. Of course, our jaded selves responded with a smile, "If we had a dollar for every time we heard that..."
