Stout Out

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Matt Stout (in event 6)
Matt Stout (in event 6)

The player in the cutoff opened to 3,600 and Matt Stout repotted from the small blind to 12,400. The player in the big blind thought for a couple of minutes and looked in pain with his decision. After a while he slid a big stack of chips to the middle while announcing he was repotting. The cutoff folded and Stout committed his last 7,000.

Stout showed {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and had to improve since his neighbor tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The flop wasn't to good for Stout: {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}. With the {J-Hearts} on the turn the big blind was already celebrating while Stout got up from the table. The {4-Hearts} on the river wasn't of any importance and Stout exited the tournament area.

Last Year's Champ Hits the Rail

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Nick Jivkov, the reigning champion of this event, has been eliminated from play.

Jivkov was short on chips all day and finally got his last roughly 4,000 in against Joseph Liberta. Jivkov held {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and was racing with Liberta's {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

Jivkov found hope when he paired on the {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop but was ousted just as quickly as the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn and gave Liberta a set of fours. The {8-Clubs} finished off the board and Jivkov was sent to the rail.

Mercier is Multi Tabling Again

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Jason Mercier was multi tabling yesterday and had to sprint from room to room. Today he's back at it with stacks in the $5,000 Stud-8 tournament and a solid amount of chips in this $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event. Lukely for Mercier today both events are in the Amazon Room which makes it that much easier to run from hand to hand. Since there's still many players left in the Stud event it might be smart for him to concentrate on this one. We have only 43 players left and he has an above average stack.

Lucky 6 on the River - The Rich Get Richer

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Robert Corcione
Robert Corcione

{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} | {7-Clubs} on the table and Robert Corcione, who started the day as the chip leader, checked from the blinds. Nicholas Mitchell bet out 9,300 and saw his opponent raise to 20,000 total. Before we knew it Mitchell had repotted and Corcione announced allin. Mitchell called. Corcione asked if his opponent had a seven and indeed he had: {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Robert Corcione showed his {6-Spades}{7-Spades} and was out kicked for a big pot.

The river brought out the {6-Clubs} which gave Corcione a full house. Mitchell shaked his head just once and got up from the table. Corcione is our chip leader again it seems with a little more than 160,000.

A Sunny Day

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

We arrived at the table to find Amato Galasso all in for his tournament life before the flop with Sunny Chattha pondering a call. Roughly one minute passed before Chattha slid out calling chips.

Galasso: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Chattha: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Chattha flopped two pair on the {3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop but Galasso had found additional outs to make either a flush or a straight. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn did not do it and the {2-Diamonds} on the river sealed his fate. Chattha was able to scoop up the pot and now sits on about 110,000 in chips.

Mercier Wins with Queens

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

On a {5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop we saw Jason Mercier bet out 2,200. His sole opponent on the button made it 8,000 and called when Mercier potted him allin for a little more. Mercier showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} which made the cutoff sigh as he tabled {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. The {A-Spades} on the turn and {K-Spades} on the river couldn't help the player in the cutoff and like that we were down to 48 players.
