Flack Busts Alioto; Three Tables Remain

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 600 ante
Dario Alioto busts

Layne Flack raised to 6,800 on the button, Paul Volpe three-bet to 18,000 out of the small blind, and Dario Alioto cold four-bet jammed for 51,200 from the big blind. Flack re-shoved for well over 200,000, and Volpe folded.

Alioto didn't know whether or not to discard, so he started to tank. After a few minutes, Phil Laak took a pair of binoculars out of his bag because he couldn't read the board.

"This happens five or six times a day," he said. "I can't see the board from here (three table-lengths away), so I bought these."

Finally, after around three minutes, Alioto tossed a card away. Flack instantly fanned {9-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}, prompting Alioto to show {8-}{7-}{5-}{2-}. The Italian had thrown away a {10-}.

He was dealt a card facedown, sweated it, then flipped over a {9-} for a meaningless ninety-eight. Alioto hit the rail, and the final 21 players are now redrawing to three tables.

Over the Till-er

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 600 ante

We arrived at the table post-draw to find Dee Tiller move all in for his final 16,200 against Konstantin Puchkov and Frank Kassela. Puchkov slowly and deliberately counted out enough chips to call and dropped them in the middle. Kassela looked at his new hand after the draw and seemed to be shocked that he made a hand as well. Ultimately, Kassela opted to lay it down.

"Ninety-six!" said Tiller, spreading {9-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} on the felt. Puchkov had him beat, though, as he fanned {8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} for an eight-low and the best hand. Tiller made his exit from the tournament area and Puchkov scooped up a pot that brings him to right around 100,000 in chips.

Bakes and Ivey Double

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Brian Hastings opened to 5,500 on the button, Jesse Martin called out of the small blind, and David "Bakes" Baker moved all in for 82,000 in the big blind. Only Hastings looked him up.

"Don't sweat it, Stinger," Baker asked him.

Hastings didn't, ripping over a king, and Baker doubled.

At another table, Phil Ivey was all in before the draw as well. Jon Turner had him at risk.

Turner{10-}{9-}{7-}{4-}{2-}Pat

Ivey received a six, making a ninety-seven to double.

Parker Falls to Alioto

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Benjamin Parker open-shipped all in for his last 13,200 from the cutoff and it folded around to Dario Alioto who slowly looked at his cards one at a time before announcing a call.

Dario Alioto1{9-}{8-}{7-}{2-}
Benjamin Parker1{10-}{7-}{4-}{3-}

Alioto was the first to flip his card over and showed the {Q-Clubs} - making a queen-nine low. Parker squeezed his out but slapped it down on the table when he realized it was the {3-Spades} giving him a pair of threes and the losing hand. Alioto was able to drag in the pot and eliminate last year's fourth-place finisher in one fell swoop. Alioto now sits on about 105,000 in chips.

O'Brien Picks One Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Justin Gardenhire opened for 4,000, and received two callers in Dario Alioto and Dan O'Brien. All three players discarded one, then the action checked to O'Brien, who fired out 10,400. Only Gardenhire called.

O'Brien fanned {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{2-} for an eighty-six, picking up the pot.

Baxter Busted

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Frank Kassela opened with a raise to an unknown amount from the cutoff and it folded around to Billy Baxter who shipped all in from the small blind for roughly 25,000 total. Kassela wasted no time calling and both players stood pat just as quickly.

Kassela fanned {8-}{7-}{6-}{3-}{2-} and Baxter dropped his hand into the muck. Since it was an all in situation, the dealer made Baxter show his cards to the table and though we did not catch what they were, the hand was not enough to beat Kassela's pat eight.

Kassela raked in the pot and is now up to about 95,000.

"You Wanted to Three-Bet Me Pre"

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Calvin Anderson raised to 4,400 in early position, Layne Flack called on the button, and Naoya Kihara called out of the big blind.

The action checked to Flack, who cooly tossed out 11,000. Kihara, the only Japanese player to ever win a World Series of Poker gold bracelet, folded, and Anderson went into the tank.

"You were going to three-bet me pre," Anderson said after a few seconds.

Flack couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright," Anderson sighed, tossing the 11,000 in front of Flack.

"I paired," Flack told him.

Anderson fanned {j-}{8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}, and dragged in the pot.
