Action Dan

No-Limit Hold'em

Dan Harrington hasn't cashed in a World Series of Poker event since 2009 when he came in 252nd in the Main Event. Granted Harrington does not play very many tournaments any more, but a good start so far today could propel him to poker gold. Harrington has been steadily climbing since the start of the day and now possesses over 30,000.

We caught up with him a few hands ago finding him getting involved in a pot with Randy Lew. Lew had raised it up to 875 from the hijack and Harrington came along for the ride from the big blind.

The dealer spread a {6-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and Harrington check-called a bet of 875 from Lew. The {j-Spades} on the turn allowed for both players to check. The same went for the {8-Diamonds} on the river.

Harrington flipped over {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair of fours and Lew countered with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines.

Despite this minor hiccup Harrington is in great shape and surely possesses the experience and mindset to make a deep run here in Event 35.

Vedes Done

No-Limit Hold'em

Tommy Vedes came out of the gates today sky rocketing up to around 27,000 early on. He has since fallen from grace and pushed in his last 6,000 after his opponent had bet out on a {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop. A call was made and Vedes found he was in deep trouble.

Vedes: {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The {5-Diamonds} on the turn was no help to Vedes, and neither was the {10-Spades} on the river.

Brodie Brings It

Limit Hold'em

David Williams opened the action up by betting from under the gun. The next player to act then three-bet, and Richard Brodie four-bet. The table folded around to Williams who completed, and the other early position player who did the same.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds} prompting Williams to check. The early position player bet and Brodie raised. Williams folded, and the other player three-bet. Brodie made the call and we were off to the turn.

The {j-Hearts} made an appearance on fourth street and Brodie's opponent bet, and Brodie called.

A {3-Spades} on the river slowed the players down and they both checked. Brodie showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and that was enough to take it.

Zaichenko Gives It Up to Patel

Limit Hold'em

From under the gun, Hiren Patel raised. Action folded around to Andrey Zaichenko in the hijack seat and he made the call. Everyone else folded and the flop came down {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Patel bet and Zaichenko called.

Fourth street was the {K-Hearts} and Patel bet. Zaichenko called and the {7-Hearts} landed on the river. Patel bet and Zaichenko folded after a minute or so of thought.

William's Winning Ways

No Limit Hold'em

The flop read {6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and David Williams nonchalantly threw out a bet of 1,8000 after his opponent checked. Williams was partaking in a conversation with his table-mates and just pushed out the bet not missing a beat. Williams' opponent made the call and we were off to the turn.

The {8-Clubs} on fourth street saw another check from Williams' opponent and a bet of 3,3000 from Williams himself. Another call was made and one more card was going to be exposed.

The {4-Hearts} that landed on the river prompted Williams' opponent to take his time before placing a bet of 4,200. Williams took a few moments before measuring out a stack of oranges and placing a raise of 15,500. Williams' opponent instantly folded and the raiser took down the pot.
