End of Level Chip Counts

We are almost done here with level four and here are a few counts.

Cappello Gets There

On a {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop we saw Joseph Cappello check-call a bet of 7,500 from his opponent in late position. A {Q-Spades} on the turn allowed for both players to knuckle the table for checks. A {5-Diamonds} on the river came with a 20,000 bet from Cappello. A call was quickly made by the late position player and Cappello flipped over {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a straight. Cappello's opponent was visible upset by this, but justified it to himself that it was going to be pretty hard for Cappello to miss his world of outs.

Climbing the Leaderboard

Gone For Good

Recent eliminations

Doitch Doubles Up Keating

Alan Keating shoved from under the gun for 37,800 and Alon Doitch called two seats behind him. Action folded around and the hands were tabled.

Keating: {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Doitch: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

The board ran {7-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {8-Clubs} and Keating stayed alive.

Baldwin Tops the Counts

We found Eric Baldwin at the river with a {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {K-Hearts} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} board. The pot was already over 30,000, the opponent in the small blind checked and Baldwin bet 23,800. His opponent tanked for a minute or so and then tossed in a call.

Baldwin tabled {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} and his opponent mucked.

Downswing

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 {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs} 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 {5-Spades} 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.

Vailencourt: {K-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Button: {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Vailencourt was going to need a genuine one-outer if he wanted to claim this hand, the last king in the deck. Instead a {6-Spades} planted on the river and Vailencourt shipped over a chunk of his stack.

Wheeland Added 150k Since Restart

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 {A-Spades} {6-Spades} and made a straight on a {8-} {5-} {9-} {7-} [X] board and was paid off by an opponent holding pocket jacks.

A few minutes ago Wheeland called in position holding {9-Spades} {6-Spades} 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.

Tehan on a Tear

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.
