Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Elpayaa Tries To Bluff Scott; Does Not Succeed

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Kara Scott opened to 4,800 from early position and Joe Elpayaa came along for the ride from the hijack position. Scott made a 5,400 continuation bet on {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Elpayaa made the call. Scott hit the brake on the {J-Clubs} turn and knocked on the table indicating a check. This was the sign for Elpayaa to bet and he put 9,900 in. Scott made the call and again checked on the {A-Spades} on the river. Elpayaa cut out, what looked like, 13,200. Scott thought for a couple of minutes and eventually said 'Call' without putting chips in or turning her cards up just yet. Elpayaa had a disgusted look on his face and told Scott she made a good call. Elpayaa mucked and Scott showed her {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} although she didn't have to.

Terry Busts One

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A lady open shoved for 2,700 from early position, and Todd Terry looked her up by calling right next to her. A couple of players behind him showed interest, but all eventually folded. Terry showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and the lady had {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} | {7-Clubs} | {4-Clubs} on the table and that got Terry over the 100,000 mark.

Cunningham Doubles

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Allen Cunningham open shoved from the hijack position for 38,000 total. He found a challenger in the big blind who made the call. Cunningham wasn't in the worst shape; his {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was live against the big blinds {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Cunningham flopped a seven and the aces and kings stayed in the deck securing him the double up: {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{Q-Spades} | {2-Diamonds} | {4-Spades}.

Some Notable Chippies

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

Ladouceur Ceck Folds

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

We picked up the action on a {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts} flop and saw Ladouceur checking from the big blind. His opponent bet out 7,000 and Ladouceur made the call. Both players checked when another queen popped up on the turn: {Q-Spades}. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Ladouceur check-folded to a 10,000 bet. The Canadian continues his tournament with a little under 50,000.

Wheeler Gone

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

We were just in time to write down all the cards that were face up. Wheeler had {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} while his opponent had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board was {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Hearts} | {5-Diamonds} | {A-Hearts} and that meant the end of the tournament for Wheeler. When, and how the chips exactly ended up in the middle we don't know. We are sure however, that he's at the payout desk right now.

Gates Makes a Huge Bluff

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

The player under-the-gun plus one opened to 4,200 and action folded quickly to Garry Gates in the cut off. Gates made it 10,500 to go and Griffin Benger quickly folded his button. Both blinds folded as well and action was back on the initial-raiser. He thought about it for a little bit, and then made the call.

The flop came {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} and both players checked. The {2-Clubs} fell on the turn and the under-the-gun plus one player bet 8,900. Gates made the call and dealer Bruce put out the {A-Diamonds} on the river. The player who was the aggressor on the turn, now checked and the action was on Gates. He announced all in without much time for thinking. 31,700 total and that's about what his opponent had. Several minutes passed and the under-the-gun plus one player started talking. "Ace king?" he asked twice. Gates didn't say a thing and eventually his opponent folded.

Benger asked if Gates could show a bluff. It had the looks of it like Gates didn't want to show but, as Benger kept pressing him, he flipped over {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} right before sliding his cards in the muck. Gates now has a little over 75,000, while his opponent has to continue with just 34,000.
