Drummond the Big Stack

Michael Drummond is currently sitting behind the largest stack in the room with around 180,000 in chips - that's almost six times the average stack.

Readers may recall that Drummond made it to the final eight of Event 12: $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em just a couple of weeks ago.

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 75

Break Time

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

The players have been sent on their final 20-minute break of the day. Just two more levels and it will all be over on Day 1.

Williams On the Rise

We caught up with the action on a {J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, where David Williams was in a a heads-up pot against an opponent. Williams had called a check raise from his opponent in the small blind, but the dealer scooped the chips into the middle before we could get the amounts.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} turn, however, when Williams' opponent checked again on the {8-Spades} river, Williams fired 4,000 into the middle. His opponent thought it over and mucked.

Williams has been putting in some work this level and is currently sitting on 90,000.

Opposite Ends of the Scale

While Jason Senti has well under the average chip stack (currently 30,895), Freddy Deeb has almost double the average. We recently watched the two players take part in a hand on their respective tables.

  • We arrived at Senti's table with a flop showing {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and Senti involved in the pot with two opponents. One player checked behind Senti and then Senti bet 1,725. The player next to act folded and then Senti was check-raised to 3,800. Senti tanked before letting his hand go.
  • The action on Deeb's table started with a raise to 1,450 from early position. Deeb called out of the small blind and then both players checked the {6-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Deeb led out for 3,000 and his opponent folded, sending the pot to Deeb.
