Cada Storming Up the Counts

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Joe Cada took out another opponent when he flipped over the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and his opponent flipped over the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} preflop. There was a sweat on the flop when it came all diamonds {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, but the turn and river blanked with the {7-Spades} and the {2-Spades}. Joe Cada now up to 152,000.

Stammen Climbing

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The player from under the gun opened to 3,300 and it folded around to Keven Stammen in the cutoff. He made it 7.900 to go and the original raiser was the only one who called.

The flop brought {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} onto the felt and Stammen's opponent decided to lead for 9,000. Stammen would not be moved, however, as he moved all in over the top. His opponent quickly released and Stammen picked up the pot. He's now sitting on about 125,000.

Stammen Wins a Monster to Eliminate Turner

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Keven Stammen on Day 1.
Keven Stammen on Day 1.

"Seat open Table 4-4-2," a dealer yelled. As we made our way over Jon Turner exiting and the dealer had swiped the cards. Even so, Rex Clinkscales and Keven Stammen were kind enough to fill us in on the details.

According to them, Stammen opened preflop and Turner flatted, bringing about a {a-}{2-}{8-} with two diamonds. Stammen, who held {A-}{2-}, bet, Turner raised, Stammen three-bet and Turner jammed. Stammen called with the best hand but Turner's {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was very much alive... that is until a {2-} turned. Stammen filled up, and after the meaningless {K-} completed the board on the river, Turner exited the tournament.

Duhamel Flops Boat

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We picked up with the action to see Jonathan Duhamel heads up in a hand where the board read {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Duhamel led the turn for 18,500 and his opponent called after thinking for about twenty seconds.

The {A-Clubs} hit the river and Duhamel went into the tank. Eventually, he came out with a bet of 25,000 and now it was his opponent's turn to act. Roughly one minute passed before a call was announced. Duhamel showed {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped full house and his opponent quickly mucked his cards. The 2010 WSOP Main Event champion is now sitting around 155,000.

McNiff Back in Action

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We are not sure what caused this uprising but Evan McNiff has been on a tear. We recently saw him call a large bet on the river with {a-}{a-} and win the pot. He is now healthy with 106,000.

Solomon Races for His Tournament Life

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Zohar Spivack opened for 3,200 under the gun only to have South Africa's Jarred Solomon move all in for 26,600 from the hijack. Martin Malone was in the cutoff and asked for a count before moving all in over the top. The button, blinds and Spivack all folded, and the cards were turned up.

Solomon: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Malone: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

It was a classic flip and Solomon seemed hopeful, though not after the flop fell a dry {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Solomon stood and prepared to exit, which he made after the {4-Clubs} turn and {3-Hearts} river blanked. According to the tournament director, Solomon finished in 61st place.

Duhamel Runs Into Aces; Cada Chipping Up

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

With around 7,000 in the pot and a board reading {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Jonathan Duhamel bet 5,500 from the big blind and Zohar Spivack called from the hijack. When the {J-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Duhamel bet 8,000 and Spivack called. Duhamel confidently tabled the {J-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a rivered paid of jacks, but it was no good as Spivack rolled over the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}!

Meanwhile, 2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada added a little to his stack when he three-bet the small-blinds bet of 5,000 up to 14,000 and inspired a fold.
