More Counts From Around the Room

Woodward Trending Upward

Sorel Mizzi raised to 9,000 from the button. Both blinds called, including Matt Woodward in the small blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}. It checked to Mizzi who pushed 13,500 out onto the felt, and only Woodward called. Both remaining players then checked the {9-Clubs} turn. The river brought the {K-Hearts}. Woodward bet 30,000, and Mizzi folded.

Guetti Folds To Ferrell

We caught the end of a ginormous pot between Michael Ferrell and Anthony Guetti that saw Ferrell collect a mountain of chips. The board read {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and Guetti had bet out 60,500. Action was on Ferrell, and he tanked for a couple minutes before moving all in. Both players had giant stacks, to this was a huge bet. Guetti let out a big sigh, then folded his cards towards the dealer.

That hand drops Guetti to 230,000, while Ferrell shoots up to 782,000.

Lee Rebuilding

A player opened to 9,000 in middle position, a player in the hijack seat called, and Bernard Lee defended his big blind. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and all three players checked.

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and the action checked to the player in the hijack seat, who tossed out 13,500. Only Lee called.

The {j-Hearts} completed the board, and Lee led for 17,500. His opponent folded, and Lee is back over 100,000 chips.

Meinders' Stack Takes a Hit

We caught up just as players were getting all in, however, Brian Meinders had raised another player all-in on a {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board. Meinders' opponent called off his remaining stack, which was approximately 100,000.

Meinders: {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Meinders was well behind and the {6-Spades} turn and {2-Hearts} river kept Meinders second best as he doubled up his opponent.

Meinders is down to 300,000.

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}, and Boatman was eliminated.

AP Phahurat (Event 11)

AP Phahurat and an opponent were heads up on a board of {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Phahurat's opponent checked, and Phahurat asked for a count. The player gave a rough estimate, then Phahurat checked behind.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, both players checked again, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board. The player checked a third time.

"How much will you call?" Phahurat asked.

The player didn't answer, and Phahurat fired 40,000. The player called, and Phahurat showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. His opponent mucked {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

"Man," Phahurat said after the hand. "I played that like a f***ing chicken."
