Cards Back in the Air
Cards are back in the air following the break.
Cards are back in the air following the break.
After a series of raises Stephen Chidwick had his shorter stacked opponent all in. It was essentially a coinflip once the cards were turned over, Chidwick holding while his opponent had . Both players had a great chance to take down the pot so long as the board went in their favor.
A flop was positioned in the middle of the table, and Chidwick was immediately behind. Running straight cards or an eight would be his only savior. A on the turn, and a on the river finished off the hand and Chidwick was forced to send away about 30,000 of his stack.

Huy Nguyen has returned today in the zone. He went from below average to top five in chips. Despite his good intentions he earned himself a warning from the floor.
SavePluto9 Huy Nguyen I have 170k at 1k/2k/300 with 127 remaining!! Just got warned for doing a double pump fake helicopter air-muck above eye level. #toomuchswag

We recently reported that Joe Tehan was crippled in a hand a few levels ago. We do not know how, but since then he has amassed over 100,000 in chips. He now sits as one of the bigger stacks at Huy Nguyen's table, proving as long as you have chips, you have a chance.

Dewayne Wheeland returned to Day 2 with just 29,800, now he's within shouting distance of 200,000. Just before the last break Wheeland chipped up holding and made a straight on a [X] board and was paid off by an opponent holding pocket jacks.
A few minutes ago Wheeland called in position holding in the big blind. He ended up rivering a straight and his opponent bluff-shoved on the river. Wheeland happily called and felted his opponent.

Noah Vaillencourt just found himself near the top of the chip counts in the room, and we recently caught up with him during a hand to see how he was faring. With a in the middle of the felt we saw Vailencourt fire out 4,700 from the cut-off. His opponent on the button quickly raised and made it 13,400. Vailencourt seemed a little exasperated, but completed the call.
A on the turn brought a silent check from Vailencourt. The button then moved all in for about 29,000. Vailencourt again seemed pretty jumbled and eventually made a disgruntled call.

Button:
Vailencourt was going to need a genuine one-outer if he wanted to claim this hand, the last king in the deck. Instead a planted on the river and Vailencourt shipped over a chunk of his stack.
