Renault Raises

We found Claire Renault go to a flop of {8-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} with an unknown opponent. Her opponent was under the gun and led out for 700. Renault tossed in 1,700 and her opponent folded after some thought.

Red Section Review: Little and Kornuth Are Out; Soulier Joins Renaut

Jonathan Little is out earlu in Event #59
Jonathan Little is out earlu in Event #59

The Red Section have lost two quality players. Jonathan Little started the day terribly and it never really got any better. Little getting it in with {A-} {6-} in a race against {3-} {3-} where he finished last.

Adam Kornuth has had 6 World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes this year including a twelve place finish in Event #39: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for $43,076. We believe Kornuth missed a draw and shoved the river only to find a hero calling with pocket deuces on a board littered with Broadway cards, resulting in his elimination.

WSOP bracelet holder Fabrice Soulier is seated just a few tables from his good lady Claire Renaut. Renaut currently has 4,000 and Soulier sits on 3,100.

Tournament Progressing

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Less than half of the Black Section remains in the Pavilion Room that started there. Just 24 tables remain of the 54 that started. Tables are being brought over two or three at a time to the Brasilia Room.

There are 19 tables remaining in the Orange Section of the Amazon Room. Thirty tables began and they are condensing independent of the rest of the tournament. Once all the players in the Pavilion Room have been moved then tables from Amazon will begin breaking into the Brasilia Room.

Bronze Review: WSOP Main Event Winner Mortensen is in; Mozdzen Bows Out

Former WSOP ME Champion Carlos Mortensen
Former WSOP ME Champion Carlos Mortensen

Yesterday, all of the poker world was buzzing over the news that Antonio Esfandiari had taken home the biggest prize in sports history when he won the Big One for One Drop earning himself $18,346,673. That victory propelled him to the top of the all-time money list with $23,245,828 in live tournament earnings. Lying in sixteenth place on that list is a former World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner Carlos Mortensen with $10,811,436 in live tournament earnings. Mortensen is currently making a living over at Table Fifty and we have just seen him win a small pot to take his current catch to 2,100.

So Mortensen is in and Clayton Mozdzen is out. We believe he was crippled in a three way pot searching for a flush draw that never came. Raymond Matthaei hitting the board with his {A-} {K-} to cripple Mozdzen who was out a few hands later.

Stocz Looking to go Deep

Eric Stocz is playing in the field today and he's an imposing sight on the felt. Stocz played for three years in the NFL as a tight end for the Detroit Lions.

Stocz plays recreationaly when he can fit it into his schedule. He mostly plays in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. He just arrived yesterday and hopes to make a deep run as a primer for the Main Event.
