DeWitt Finds a Call

Jason DeWitt and Steven Buckner started on the same table today in the Amazon Room. Their table broke early in the afternoon, but the pair soon found themselves together again at another table on the other side of the spacious ballroom and have been playing and watching each other all day.

The pair's history ended up being relevant to a recent hand which we caught up with on the river, at which point about 25,000 was in the middle and the board read {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

After a DeWitt check Buckner had fired 17,500, and as we arrived DeWitt was amid a long think that ended with him making the call. When he did, Buckner immediately removed the unlit cigar from his mouth to speak.

"I got caught," he said, tabling his {A-Spades}{J-Spades}. DeWitt then showed his {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Buckner expressed amazement that DeWitt had called his river bet with the hand he held.

"I haven't shown one bluff all day," said Buckner. "We been playing together since noon… that's a sick call." DeWitt shook his head and grinned, agreeing it had been a struggle for him to find the call.

No Surfing on This Shorr

Shannon Shorr
Shannon Shorr

When we passed by Shannon Shorr's table he had a raise of 2,500 in front of him. Action folded around to the player in the small blind, who called. The big blind folded so the two took to a flop.

On the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, both players checked. Both players checked again on the {9-Hearts} turn, which put four to a flush on the board. The river was the {6-Clubs} which completed any draws to a full house as well. The small blind player checked for a third time while Shorr fired a bet of 3,200. The small blind folded, allowing Shorr to take down the pot without a showdown.

Counts From Red and Bronze

The red section is about half empty at this point, but here are some notable counts from there as well as the bronze section, which is still full.

Ticehurst Continues to Build

After just doubling an opponent, Max Lehmanski limped under the gun only to have Darrell Ticehurst bump it up to 3,500.

The action folded back round to Lehmanski and he made the call to see a {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop fall before he checked to Ticehurst who tossed in 4,500. Lehmanski quickly folded and slipped to 15,600 as Ticehurst moved to 227,000 in chips.

"You're a Nit"

Simon Persson raised to 2,200 in early position, Grayson Nichols three-bet to 5,200 on his direct left, and the action folded to Max Lehmanski, who cold four-bet to 10,400 in the hijack. Persson quickly released, and after no more than 30 seconds, Nichols announced that he was all in.

Lehmanski's eyes widened.

"How much?" the German asked the dealer, who cut down Nichols' stacks.

When Lehmanski learned that the amount was 53,300, he mouthed "wow," then sunk deep into the tank. Finally, after two minutes or so, he spoke again.

"This is not a slow roll," he told Nichols, who remained silent. "I have a really good hand, but you're a nit."

Lehmanski finally called, and Nichols tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for a pair of kings. The German chuckled to himself, then showed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The kings held as the board rolled out {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, and Nichols doubled to 111,200. Lehmanski was left with just 22,500.

Jacob Balsiger
Jacob Balsiger

After two all ins, Jake Balsiger busted to end his dream of making back to back Main Event final tables. His first all in ended in a chopped pot when he held {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and his opponent had {a-Spades}{4-Spades} on the board of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Just two hands later, Bodo Sbrzesny raised to 2,000 from early position and it folded to Balsiger who moved all in.

Balsiger: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Sbrzesny: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Balsiger, who jut couldn't get any traction today, hit the rail.

Chip Counts

Dunst Chops

From under the gun Tony Dunst opened for a 2,000-chip min-raise which was called by the player on his immediate left as well as the big blind.

The dealer droppe a {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{A-Clubs} flop and Dunst check-called a 3,500-chip bet as the big blind released his hand.

The turn of the {Q-Diamonds} was checked by both players before the {7-Spades} completed the board on the river and Dunst led for 7,500. Dunst's opponent would make the call tabling {A-Spades}{J-Spades} while Dunst flipped over his {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} to see the pot chopped up.
