Early Lunch for These Players

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

This quartet of players busted during the last few minutes.

We are down to 29 in Event #38.

Cardyn's Trap Fails to Catch Chidwick

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nicolas Cardyn checked to Stephen Chidwick on a {3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop and then called when Chidwick bet 6,500. The {4-Clubs} landed on the turn and this time when Cardyn checked Chidwick checked behind. Cardyn checked for a third time when the {A-Diamonds} appeared on the river. Chidwick checked behind.

Cardyn opened the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut flush, obviously hoping Chidwick would take a stab at the pot on the river. The best laid plans of mice and men.....

Givotovsky Grinds to a Halt

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Alex Givotovsky's tournament is over thanks to the hot-running John Juanda.

Juanda raised preflop and then called when Givotovsky made a move and three-bet all in with what turned out to be {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Juanda's hand was {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and although neither player improved on the {2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} board, Juanda won the pot courtesy of his ace-kicker.

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The buzz inside the walls of the Rio extends beyond just the tournaments on the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule. Online poker in Nevada is a very, very hot topic right now, and WSOP.com is making a lot of noise.

Cruel River Cripples Pham

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
David Pham: Crippled by a cruel river
David Pham: Crippled by a cruel river

Wow! What a river card! David Pham may not agree, but Jamie Rosen certainly will.

We joined the action on the {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} where Rosen and Pham entered a raising war that resulted in Rosen being all in and at risk of elimination. Rosen showed {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for tip aces, but was crushed by the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} of Pham who had turned a boat.

"Nice hand," said a deflated Rosen as he rose from his chair and started to gather his belongings.

However, he had to sit back down because the river was the {J-Clubs}, improving Rosen to a bigger full house and leaving Pham to hand over all but 46,000 of his stack. Ouch!

Baumstein Broken

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Minutes after Antonio Lafosse tilted him a bit with a delayed call holding two pair, Scott Baumstein has hit the rail, with none other than Lafosse doing the deed.

Earlier, we witnessed Lafosse tank-call Baumstein's river bet with two pair, and this seemed suspiciously like a slowroll to Baumstein, who was visibly upset by his opponent's actions.

Just a few hands later, Baumstein moved all in before the flop with his {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and it was Lafosse who looked him up with {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. A clean run out of {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds} later, and a still heated Baumstein was headed for the payout desk, his stack already being collected by his nemesis.

Juanda Says I'm On One

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
John Juanda Just Went Runner-Runner to Down Big Slick
John Juanda Just Went Runner-Runner to Down Big Slick

John Juanda called an all-in bet from a short-stacked Matt Perrins with his {A-Spades}{10-Spades}, but found that he was dominated by the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}.

When the flop fell {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Hearts} the hand appeared to favor Perrins' big slick, but a {q-Spades} on the turn suddenly provided Juanda with additional options. He now needed any spade to make the nut flush, or any jack to make the Broadway straight.

River: {6-Spades}

Poker can be a cruel game, and Perrins found this out in the worst way, losing to a runner-runner flush after the flop made him a 92% to win the hand.
