Chidwick Vs. Vamplew

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We went to confirm that Michael Mizrachi has been eliminated and indeed there is a new player in his seat. At the table we noticed a board of {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and a 16,500 bet in front of Stephen Chidwick with David Vamplew contemplating the call. He eventually made the call and then mucked his hand when Chidwick showed the {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

Chidwick raised to 2,200 on the very next hand and that was followed by the all in of Vamplew. It folded back around to Chidwick who made the call.

Chidwick: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Vamplew: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Vamplew found the help he needed on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop and his hand held through the {9-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river for a double up that still has him quite short.

Kling Put To The Test

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Lauren Kling
Lauren Kling

A player from middle position raised to 2,400 and Lauren Kling called from the big blind. Kling check-called 3,600 on the {4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop.

Kling checked the {7-Diamonds} turn and her opponent checked behind.

The {2-Diamonds} river came and Kling checked to her opponent who bet 12,200. Kling went into the tank, counting out the call and her remaining chips.

Her table was breaking and the other players were racking up the chips but Kling kept thinking, not letting the activity phase her. She eventually made the call but you could tell she didn't like it. She liked it even less when her opponent showed {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the flush.

Le Takes One from Cornell

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There was about 10,000 in the middle when we saw Nam Le and Tyler Cornell heads up on a flop of {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Cornell checked to Le, who fired out 4,800. Cornell made the call, and when the {a-Spades} hit the turn, Cornell check called another bet, this time of 9,500. The river brought the {8-Hearts}, and Cornell checked a third time. Le assembled a huge bet of about 26,000, which was almost all of his big denomination chips, and slid them forward. Before he could even let go of his chips, Cornell tossed his hand towards the dealer, giving Le the big pot.

Kelly Not Given Credit

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Dan Kelly
Dan Kelly

The player in the hijack raised to 2,600 and Dan Kelly from the button called as did the big blind. Both the big blind and the player in the hijack checked the {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Kelly bet 5,500 prompting the big blind to fold and the hijack to think a bit. He ended up calling and checked the {a-Spades} turn. Kelly bet 12,500 and after some more thought, the player called.

It didn't seem as if either liked the {10-Hearts} river as both players checked. Kelly tabled {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} but not before his opponent showed the {5-Diamonds}. Kelly took the pot and his momentum continued.

Radoja Makes "Sloppiest Call Ever"

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We walked up to the table as recent bracelet winner Mark Radoja and his opponent, Rado Boltryk, were taking a heads-up flop of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Both players checked, and the turn brought the {5-Diamonds}. Boltryk fired out 2,500, and Radoja made the call. The river was the {q-Hearts}, and Boltryk made the same bet of 2,500. Radoja took only a few moments to grab chips, and chuck them in front of him, though most of them found a way to bounce right back to him, prompting Radoja to call it "the sloppiest call ever."

Boltryk rolled over {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for rivered top pair, and Radoja sarcastically said "awesome," as he mucked his hand. After losing that one, Radoja is very short, with just 6,500.

Chidwick and Mizrachi Do Battle

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We walked up to the table and caught the action on the turn, with the board showing {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{a-Spades}. Stephen Chidwick checked to Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, who fired out 7,300. Chidwick decided to put out a check raise to 19,500, and it was back on Mizrachi. He thought for about a minute, got the official count on the bet, then stuck in the call.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and Chidwick checked again. This time. Mizrachi checked behind, and Chidwick rolled over {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped set. Mizrachi kicked his hand in, and after losing that pot, he's down to 26,500. Chidwick on the other hand, is having a good day so far, as he is now up to 83,000.
