Shamus

Nicolas Cardyn Carves Up Kid Poker

[user253757]

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Nicolas Cardyn Just Pulled the Wool Over Daniel Negreanu's Eyes Here on Day 2

We saw Daniel Negreanu going through his familiar routine of talking through a hand, and we soon found out why as he was faced with a bet for most of his chips.

The action started before the flop, when Negreanu opened for an undetermined amount, and called a raise to 25,000 made by Nicolas Cardyn.

When the flop fell , Cardyn went for the power play and moved all in for his last 78,100. Negreanu began to calculate and contemplate, speaking to himself as he did so.

"You have the nine of spades and the nine of hearts..." he said, working through the various permutations to arrive at the correct conclusion. "That's exactly what you have isn't it?"

With Cardyn sitting perfectly still, Negreanu searched for a read to work with, but no clues were forthcoming from the impassive Frenchman.

Eventually, after counting out the chips he would be left with in the event his hand was no good, Negreanu announced "OK, I call," and moved a stack forward to signify his commitment.

When Cardyn rolled over the , Negreanu exclaimed "oh s--t!," before tabling his .

"Nice hand," he continued. "I thought you had two nines."

The turn () and river () brought no help to Negreanu, and with the misread most of his chips were shipped across the table.

Froehlich Felted, Parker Put Out

Shamus

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The eliminations are coming quickly now that they've reached the money.

Eric Froehlich just met his tourney end after going all in on a couple of occasions but failing to survive the last attempt. Meanwhile another two-time WSOP bracelet winner, Brock Parker, was eliminated at nearly the same instance at the neighboring table.

In Parker's last hand he was all in for about 58,000 with against Max Steinberg's . The flop came to further Steinberg's lead, then the on the turn gave Parker slim hope to stick around. But the river was the , and Parker followed Froehlich to the rail.

Now I am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Jonathan Little's Stack is Anything But Here on Day 2

Moments after hand for hand play ended with the bursting of the money bubble, we noticed Jonathan Little and Daniel Negreanu were getting lonely over at the far table, and a bit of investigation revealed the reason.

With Little adding an entire wing to his already massive chip castle, it became clear the Day 1 chip leader had notched yet another elimination.

We found out that one hand after eliminating Ryan Eriquezzo with against , Little engaged in a preflop raising war against an opponent holding .

After all of the chips were in the middle, Little found himself way behind with his , but an ace in the window gave him the unlikely advantage in the hand. Two blanks later, and a massive pot was being pushed his way.

Shortly thereafter, we saw a short stack move his last 38,200 in for an all-in move, and Little took time away from stacking his mountain of chips to make the call.

Little's put him in a race against the vulnerable player's , but with the rush Little was on, it was no surprise when the flop came . The turn () and river () changed nothing, and another pelt was added to Little's growing collection of fallen foes.

De Goede's Chips Flushed

Mateusz_Pater

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

The hand started with Pim de Goede opening to 6,500 from the hijack, and getting called by Allen Bari in the blinds. The flop came down , and Bari checked, as de Goede threw out a continuation bet of 8,000. He was called, as the fell on the turn. Bari again check-called a bet of 21,000, as the completed the board. One final check from Bari saw de Goede move all in for 68,000 which was snap-called. De Goede tabled his and watched as Bari showed his .

“Oh, you have a flush? I didn’t even see that,” said a surprised de Goede, not noticing the third club on the river. “It doesn’t matter; I would’ve made that bet regardless.”

A few hands later, de Goede was seen exiting the tournament floor.
