Minimizing Losses

We found Tony Dunst engaged in a hand where the board read {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades} with over 5,000 in the pot. Dunst's opponent checked and after a moment, Dunst checked as well.

The river was the {A-Clubs} and Dunst's opponent checked again. Dunst thought for a while before rapping the table.

"I have an ace," said Dunst's opponent, flipping over {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

"An ace is good," replied Dunst, flinging away his hand. Dunst is currently sitting on 21,000.

Pilgrim Takes a Plunge

With a {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop spread for all eyes to see, Dwyte Pilgrim bet out 1,075. We don't know how the action went preflop, but we do know there was around 1,000 in the middle before the flop. Pilgrim's opponent in late position made the call.

A {q-Hearts} turn slowed everyone down as both players checked. A {7-Spades} river saw Pilgrim's opponent check and the WSOP circuit grinder fired off 1,400. A call was made fairly quickly and Pilgrim mucked his hole cards as his opponent flipped over {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}.

Sklansky Sent Packing

With three bracelets under his belt David Sklansky came out today hunting for his fourth. It has been awhile for Sklansy though, seeing as the last bracelet he won was in 1983. Since then he has authored and co-authored 13 poker books. Unfortunately for him today was not going to be his reemergence.

After getting involved in a limp pot from the button we found Sklansky moving all in on a {4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The small blind quickly called while the big blind and the under the gun player opted to fold.

Sklansky: {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Sklansky needed a diamond in order to continue his day. With a {a-Hearts} on the turn and a {10-Hearts} on the river Sklansky was eliminated as his jack high couldn't compete with his opponent's full house, tens over fours.

Cheong Going For Two Bracelets at Once

When Joseph Cheong tweeted that he had late registered this very event, we thought there was no way. After all he had only just recently secured his spot in the final of the $5,000 Mix-Max event, meaning he will be playing for the bracelet in that event later this evening. But he did not lie as we just passed his table and he is sitting there playing poker. Not only is he playing, but he is doing well, seeing his stack already at around 11,000. Let's see if he can go as deep in this event as he has in the Mix-Max event.

Moorman Missteps

Chris Moorman has made a slight misstep to see his chip count dwindle to well under the day's starting stack. It all started when a middle-position player opened it up to 575. Moorman was on the player's direct left and raised it up with a very small three-bet to 1,000. The rest of the players at the table sent a flurry of cards into the muck from every direction and the dealer spread three cards along the felt.

Flop: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Both players opted to check the flop, prompting the dealer to flick over an {a-Diamonds}. This card would see Moorman's opponent again check, but this time Moorman would bet, throwing out 775. It was back on the other player and he quickly raised it up to 3,000. It didn't take long to scare Moorman away as he sent some chips away from his stack.

Jarvis Jousting His Way up the Counts

Former 'November Nine' member and WSOP bracelet holder Matt Jarvis is doing just fine today. We recently wandered past his table where a board was showing {9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. At this point there was a huge pot brewing as Jarvis had all his chips out in front of him, staring stoically at his opponent. Eventually his opponent folded to the all-in move and sent the pot to Jarvis.
