Bardah vs. Warchol

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

We arrived at the action on the turn with the board reading {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Greg Mueller, Ronnie Bardah, and Danny Warchol had already build a sizable pot. Bardah checked the turn, and Warchol bet. Mueller called, then Bardah raised. Warchol called the raise, but Mueller folded. The river was the {j-Clubs}, and Bardah immediately bet out. Warchol thought for a few moments, and as he muttered to himself, it sounded like he had a pair and flush draw that didn't improve. He decided to fold, and Bardah took the pot.

Warchol has been on a tear over the past hour. Not long ago he was all in for his last 13,000. But he won that pot and has steadily built his stack since. He now sits with 144,000. Bardah has been gathering chips all day, and now has almost 300,000.

No Moore for Dehkharghani

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Raymond Dehkharghani
Raymond Dehkharghani

With 20,000 in the pot and a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Ray Dehkharghani bet 3,000 and was immediately raised to 6,000 bu Michael Moore in the cutoff. Dehkharghani responded with a four-bet and then six-bet his last 300 after Moore had five-bet. Moore made the call and the cards were turned up.

Dehkharghani: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Moore: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Dehkharghani was behind and looking to hit one of his overs, but he was left wanting as the {6-Hearts} blanked on the river followed by the {2-Clubs} on the river.

Stephanie Nguyen Eliminated

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

With the board reading {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} on the flop, Stephanie Nguyen tried to raise Steve Landfish's bet for all her chips. However, she had too much left, and her raise left her with 2,100 behind. Landfish called the bet, and Nguyen bet her remaining chips in the dark before the turn card (a {4-Hearts}) hit the felt. Landfish thought for a minute, then eventually called and showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Nguyen tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and would have to dodge a jack, king, or ace to stay alive. The river was the {k-Hearts}, giving Landfish a winning pair of kings and busting Nguyen out of the tournament.

Nguyen was the last woman remaining in this field, and we'll have to wait for another day to see the first female bracelet winner of this year's WSOP.

In Need of Some HELPpi

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Juha Helppi, who has 13 World Series of Poker cashes for $511,949, is getting in the danger zone. In a recent hand, Gabriel Nassif raised to 6,000 from the hijack and Helppi opted to defend from the big blind. Helppi then checked the {6-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and folded when Nassif bet 3,000. Helppi is down to just 10,000.

Helppi Crippled

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

Greg Mueller raised preflop, and Juha Helppi three-bet. Mueller called, and the players saw the flop heads up. After the dealer spread {3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Mueller check-called Helppi's bet. Mueller check-called again when the {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Then the {4-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, and Mueller led out. Helppi went into the tank, and he didn't look please with the river card and Mueller's subsequent bet. Eventually he called, and Mueller showed {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a low flush. Helppi mucked, and after the hand he hand only 17,000 in his stack. With the limits rising, Helppi is now very short stacked.
