A gentleman at table 394 had exposed his cards with action pending.
On a flop a player moved all in for about 1,200. Another player called and the third player said call but put out all his chips and flipped up his cards. Now because he said call and not all in the floor ruled that his only play was to call the 1,200 from the first player. Now the came on the turn. With the two other players still in action the first checks and the one who exposed his cards went all in.
The second player proceed to fold none other than pocket sevens for a flopped set. But how could he fold such a monster?
The exposed player's cards were none other than pocket jacks for second set. The jacks won the pot, knocked out the first player, and received a one round penalty for exposing his cards. But the real punishment was not getting all the chips from the set of sevens.
The whole table laughed and the man with pocket seven was relieved because in most circumstances he would not know his opponent held such a big set and would have gone broke.
Another case of making the minimum for being a public exposer.
Daniel Negreanu just sat down at table White #94 next to Vanessa Rousso. On our second walk through the room his seat was empty though, so we're afraid he made an early exit.
When we arrived Cary Katz had just called a 3-bet to 775 from the player in the cutoff. Another player folded and Katz went heads up to the flop: . Katz checked to the cutoff who continuation-betted. Before we could count how much it was, Katz had shoved all in for 1,575 total and the cutoff had made the call.
"Well played" said the player in the cutoff position sarcastically as he concluded his had been out flopped by Katz' . The on the turn gave the cutoff some more outs but the was not one of them. Katz is back in action with a little over 5,100 in chips.
Ludovic Lacay has to answer that question with a big no. While the Frenchman departed Carter Phillips just sat down. THe field is still growing with more and more players late registering:
Max Pescatori is only been playing for an hour but he has already almost doubled his starting stack. He's up to 8,800 now after just eliminating a player with preflop all in against . Pescatori hit an ace on the turn and river to send his opponent packing. "Nice job dealer" said the player with a big wink and laugh after being eliminated. Pescatori didn't laugh and just focused on stacking his chips.
They announced the winner of the WSOP Hot Seat for this event and the winner was seated at Table 387 Seat 9. The whole Amazon Room turned their heads to see who it was. At first glance it appeared to be Barry Greenstein but after further counting of chairs we realized he was sitting in the Seat 8. Greenstein laughed and blurted, "Just my Luck" as Nolan Dalla commented on Greenstein being the bubble of the hot seat.
